Planting ourselves in the barely-midwest…. But Who is Planting? April 8, 2011 in Weekly Update. I’m not very good at this, am I? Alexis and I went dress shopping. It went well, but of course, we still don’t have a dress for prom. She did get two great dresses that will be great dressed up for Easter and weddings, and dressed down for church and maybe even hanging with friends. Michael has gotten taller and skinnier, with me actually seeing his ribs when he took a bath last night. Who is this child? Notif...

Planting ourselves in the barely-midwest…. But Who is Planting? June 18, 2011 in Autism. To summarize: cutting Michael’s hair sucks. And it’s sad. Because his hair is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. It’s thick and straight and while it’s “just brown” it has all sorts of colors in there and its shiny and it just bounces and… well, it’s gorgeous. See, here’s my baby with a lot of hair:. See that beautiful boy? See how thick it is? They’re called scissors. That doesn’t do me any good. The...Finally I decided...

Disease or Disorder? | Putting Down Roots
https://puttingroots.wordpress.com/2011/04/14/disease-or-disorder
Planting ourselves in the barely-midwest…. But Who is Planting? April 14, 2011 in Autism. Our son Michael is “autistic”. Or is it that he “has autism”? I can never remember which one is politically correct to say these days. While I appreciate the work of organizations like Autism Speaks. Or The Autism Society. It saddens me when we talk about a “cure” for autism. What caused Michael’s autism? While part of me would love to have a “normal” kid, honestly, what’s “normal”? So Michael has some developmental...

Planting ourselves in the barely-midwest…. But Who is Planting? But Who is Planting? So who is this mysterious family transplanted to Southern Illinois? Faith: Cajun-transplanted hot-tempered, hard-headed, domestic wanna-be stay-at-home homeschooling mom. Alan: LCMS pastor who writes (hymns, novels, sermons – and not necessarily in that order), plays games, and wears shorts in the winter in Buffalo. Great hair. Loves letters and numbers and his Penny Penguin and Sasha Kitty. But Who is Planting? You are ...

Planting ourselves in the barely-midwest…. But Who is Planting? April 6, 2011 in Art. So, if you don’t know me very well, let me explain: I am a serious lover of the modern Doctor Who. I’m slowly visiting episodes from the original eight Doctors, and that’s all fine and dandy, but I’ve fallen in love with the Doctors portrayed by Chris Eccleston, David Tennant, and even Matt Smith. Maybe so, Dr. Black. But Who is Planting? Rebellious Pastor's Wife. SusieQTpie's Scraps of Life. Simul Justis et Pecatur.

Planting ourselves in the barely-midwest…. But Who is Planting? April 11, 2011 in Lifelong Learning. It occurred to me the other night, after watching some science fiction stuff, that physics is way beyond me. I’ve always been interested, but I’m a humanities girl, you know? My BA is in History, and preference there is Medieval. My minor was in Psychology and even there I leaned toward the “art” side rather than the “science” side. Videos. I will conquer this fear of higher math, and I will move myse...

Planting ourselves in the barely-midwest…. But Who is Planting? May 11, 2011 in Autism. Ut oh, it’s been entirely too long since I updated! Molly has been loving tumbling, and is moving on. This summer, she’s moving to the “big girl class”. ACK! It’s going to be in the early morning too for the summer, so that’ll be interesting as well. We figured it would be easier for her to transition into a more demanding class during the summer with less kids, so we’ll see how that goes. Things were also interesting...

Planting ourselves in the barely-midwest…. But Who is Planting? June 8, 2011 in Uncategorized. I’m absolutely horrible at keeping up with a blog. It’s time I admit that to myself.

Planting ourselves in the barely-midwest…. But Who is Planting? April 18, 2011 in Weekly Update. Guess I didn’t do one last week, did I? Oh well, this is our update. It was a doozy. Alan is busy. Lent is a crazy-busy time for a pastor, and he’s been crazy-busy. We’ve had a couple of deaths in the congregation lately, so in addition to Holy Week busyness, there’s a funeral thrown into the mix. And you know what? He’s loving every second of being a parish pastor again, so it’s all good. So, yes, the play w...
