Frankly Journaling the Journey: March 2015
http://franklyjournaling.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Thoughts along the way. Saturday, March 28, 2015. More manipulations. but sweet ones. Miles continues to attempt to avoid practicing his violin:. When I told him to go practice a couple days ago, he started hugging me and said, “Let’s snuggle instead. LOVE is more important than violins! Then this morning when I told him to stop standing around watching me put things away and go practice the violin, he responded, “But I just want to watch a beautiful woman put things away! Sunday, March 22, 2015. I worke...

Frankly Journaling the Journey: January 2015
http://franklyjournaling.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thoughts along the way. Saturday, January 31, 2015. How To Beat the FroYo Bar. Apparently I haven't had enough to do this week - -or, more likely, I am just choosing to ignore the chaos going on around me. (I really don't feel like dealing with the kids on roller blades and longboards who keep zipping through the kitchen.). So, I decided to finally answer a nagging question I've had for some time now:. Which toppings are the best deal at the Frozen Yogurt places? I had hoped Trey had parlayed this concep...

Frankly Journaling the Journey: December 2014
http://franklyjournaling.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Thoughts along the way. Monday, December 29, 2014. The highlight of our trip, was of course Christmas! The morning brought all the noise and laughter of 22 people unwrapping gifts - but first there was a spontaneous dance party. Did even Uncle Mike join in? Then came the exciting gifts:. Bow and arrows for Colsen. Shoes and football game tix for Strider. Giant bear for Rayna. Miles and his thumb patiently waiting. And a microphone and guitar set for Miles! Yay, more noise! The wise men came to. There wer...

Frankly Journaling the Journey: July 2014
http://franklyjournaling.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thoughts along the way. Thursday, July 31, 2014. Taking teamwork to the next level. Miles wasn't able to get up on the monkey bars, so his kind big birthday found a way to be both a ladder and a booster for him:. And then there's this one: The "Magic Stool":. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. First, Mor-Mor surprised us by treating us to lunch at her place - for all of us! We had a wonderful time visiting with her. Plus, we had fun time with cousins during the day. We've had plenty of TIME. The last few years ...

Frankly Journaling the Journey: February 2015
http://franklyjournaling.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thoughts along the way. Saturday, February 28, 2015. At home a lot. The past couple weeks have been rather uneventful, but in the interest of recording the "ordinary days" for time to time, I will write this boring post. A few Sort-Of-Snow-Days cancelled a lot of our activities, and then this past week we were hit with a mild form of the flu. Each day about 2 family members have been a little under the weather, which means I've been playing nurse for awhile now. (It's getting old.). What food can we eat?

Frankly Journaling the Journey: April 2015
http://franklyjournaling.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thoughts along the way. Monday, April 27, 2015. At 8:15, Monday morning…. I don’t want to do any school work! This is the worst day anyone could EVER have! Me: I think a lot of people have much worse days. Like people who have to dig ditches all day, for example. Colsen: I would MUCH rather dig a ditch all day than do SCHOOLWORK! Me: I don’t think so. Colsen: YES I WOULD! Let me go dig ditches! Me: Well…. Ok. Let’s go outside and I’ll find a place for you to dig. Me: Are you sure you want to do this?

Frankly Journaling the Journey: August 2014
http://franklyjournaling.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Thoughts along the way. Sunday, August 31, 2014. Pete gave me one of my favorite gifts again this weekend - time away to be by myself. It wasn't completely alone-time because I did spend some of the weekend with each of my sisters and their families, but for the large majority of the time, I was on my own. And I loved it. Yes, complete control over my stuff and my time. that makes this control-freak happy. And it feels so foreign these days! I spent a lot of the time on my parents' porch doing this:.

Frankly Journaling the Journey: Strider's summer highlights
http://franklyjournaling.blogspot.com/2015/08/striders-summer-highlights.html
Thoughts along the way. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. At the beginning of the summer Strider applied for a couple jobs, but was told he was too young, so he's been enjoying his last (hopefully) "free" summer by packing it full of all kinds of trips and activities. First he went to Cherokee, NC with a group from our church to help with some construction and some day camp kind of stuff. He definitely left his mark there:. And since it was a service camp, they also had plenty of time to work:. Poplar Streams Aca...

http://franklyjournaling.blogspot.com/2015/08/recent-activities.html
Thoughts along the way. Monday, August 3, 2015. Days are flying by so fast this summer and I haven't been doing a good job of recording the memories. so here's a quick summary of some of the things we've been doing:. Besides watching the workmen in the house, we've also been watching movies in the park. Going on dates and playing in the rain. Enjoying rainbows out our front door. Climbing up the doorways. and falling. Having fun at Backyard Bible Club. Playing a lot of games. Roller skating with friends.
