KrumperKids: April 2009
http://krumperkids.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 27, 2009. Thanks for a great visit! Tyler hamming it up. The rolled up piece of paper is his light saber. All four kids. They are pretty wonderful, if I do say so myself. Look at these cute boys! We were on a walk on the trail because a little after Joanne arrived we got a call and a real estate agent wanted to bring some clients for a showing. The story of our lives. Ryan saw this picture and said: "I look like a chicken! Tee hee, what a crack up. And this picture just melts my heart!

KrumperKids: Nobody Listens
http://krumperkids.blogspot.com/2009/04/nobody-listens.html
Sunday, April 19, 2009. We were so touched by our friends' support in coming to the show and being a part of this with us. We have the greatest friends! We were also so glad that Uncle Bryan came, even though his whooping and hollering was super loud (and embarassing to me and Katie! Thanks to those who sent her well wishes! Yeah for a fun experience! Pictures coming soon, I promise. Way to go, Paiger! April 19, 2009 at 8:24 PM. April 20, 2009 at 7:51 AM. Oh, how great! April 20, 2009 at 10:42 AM.

Some Untidy Spot: December 2011
http://purplepetra.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
A Rock, Not an Island. Thursday, December 15, 2011. I get all my life advice from pop songs. Watching SNL over the weekend, I was exposed for the first time to Robyn and this. It's a "soaringly tuneful electro-pop ballad" with Robyn "tell[ing] her boyfriend exactly how to break it off with the other woman to inflict the least emotional damage.". Wash The Dishes (."it's time you took your turn"). Stop Speeding (".it's time to obey the law"). Stand Up Straight (".it's time to see a chiropractor").

Sunday, January 10, 2010. Paige's 5th grade teacher had a brain tumor removed in December. Paige wrote this song and worked out the piano accompaniment with her piano teacher. Fun, huh? Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Big Red Flat. View my complete profile.

Some Untidy Spot: Ethiopia Diary
http://purplepetra.blogspot.com/2012/09/ethiopia-diary.html
A Rock, Not an Island. Tuesday, September 04, 2012. I tried to keep a day-by-day account of our Ethiopia trip way back in January, in the hopes that I could turn it into an awesome blog post. Because, of course, I excel at writing trip reports. Like the great posts about the Vietnam trip where I got arrested, or our trip to Turkey in 2010, or our trip to Indonesia in 2011. Oh wait- I didn't blog about any. Ethiopia, December/January 2012. Day 2: Still in transit. Does air travel always take this long?

Some Untidy Spot: January 2012
http://purplepetra.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
A Rock, Not an Island. Monday, January 23, 2012. I read far, far fewer books this year than last year. First of all, my commute changed (to become much shorter; hooray! But second of all, my New Year's resolution for the year meant far less reading time than usual. (More on that later.). So it's hard to write a "best books" post when I have only 88 books to choose from. I should change the rules to include New Yorker. The Bonfire of the Vanities. The Name of the Rose. The Warmth of Other Suns. This is wh...

Some Untidy Spot: The Year of Skills: Part Whichever-Part-Is-Last
http://purplepetra.blogspot.com/2012/06/year-of-skills-part-whichever-part-is.html
A Rock, Not an Island. Friday, June 08, 2012. The Year of Skills: Part Whichever-Part-Is-Last. At the beginning of the year I made a list of the skills I might like to learn, the further out of my comfort zone, the better. (Scuba diving? One of the items I put on the list was "martial arts"- yes, that's right, the generic kind- because I've never tried anything like that before, and doesn't that seem like I'm missing out? Adults-only was ideal (I didn't want to be a Kramer. I even learned a few basic cho...

Some Untidy Spot: April 2012
http://purplepetra.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
A Rock, Not an Island. Friday, April 06, 2012. No Fear of Flying. Dallas has a lot of swimming pools. I mean, it makes sense, but still- as you fly over almost every single house has a bright blue dot in the backyard. This is what I've observed as I've flown through the Dallas-Forth Worth airport three times in the last three months. Also, the airport is enormous. The trip to Ethiopia was really good aside from the canceled flight at the end. More on that later, I hope.). We're in the air! Fame (but not ...
