I wish I was better at putting down on paper screen how many ways God has shown His faithfulness in our journey to get Grafted Families up and running. But I’m not. So you’ll just have to deal with what I have. I just posted an entry here at our Grafted Families blog about our [...]

Last Saturday was Discover Engineering Family Day at the National Building Museum in D.C. Being the engineers nerds that we are, we couldn’t think of a better way to spend a day (especially with Grandma and Grandpa in town).
I work in the field of engineering education and even I was impressed by the variety and number [...]

I’ve had one of those days that leaves my head spinning. Patrick volunteered to take PJ to school this morning. To say PJ was thrilled would be an understatement. I think Patrick was just thrilled to have his car back and wanted a place to go since going to the “office” doesn’t require leaving the [...]

Would you believe me if I told you that Ty’s been home for 10 months this week?!?!? It’s not the 10 months that gets me. It’s how close 10 months is to a YEAR! In some ways, I can’t believe it’s been almost a year that we were in Korea. In other ways, it feels [...]

I did NOT set “Blog Hop: Snow Pics & Stories” to publish 24 hours too soon.
In lieu of plates, I did NOT have my children eat mac and cheese off of lids at [...]

We are finally in our meltdown and back into the “swing of things.” With 39 inches of snow on our roof, we had some spectacular icicles. Hopefully, this post marks the end of [...]

Re-entry into the post-Blizzards-of-2010-world, has me a little distracted and a little distracted completely not focused on blogging. Re-entry has also meant a big push to get Patrick’s new baby business, insquare, up and running which included the release of his website.
What exactly does this have to do with Foto Friday?
I took the photos.
You should go see [...]

Shrimp isn’t usually an ingredient that’s on my list when I’m trying to save money but it’s a family favorite and it’s a great break from chicken. Last week I was able to get a pound of tail-on, cooked, medium-sized, frozen shrimp for $7.99 to make Shrimp Pasta.
Ingredients
1/2 pound medium shrimp (that was about 4 per [...]

Not-Me-Monday is a blog carnival started by MckMama. Hop over to her blog to see what others have NOT done this week.
I would NOT spend virtually 7 days snowed in and neglect to clean a single room in my house.
I would NOT gripe and moan and complain about our 40 inches of snow when [...]
