Pursuits of Happiness: Freedom Days
http://ourpursuits.blogspot.com/2015/07/freedom-days.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. We added some sweet moments to our collection of Fourth of July memories this year. Lucy and Spencer were in charge of choosing the line up of events, and while my heart missed a few of our more traditional activities (balloons, parade), I loved watching them try out some new venues. The Colonial Fest on July 3rd was a big hit. I admit that before leaving, I thought: it will be hot and miserable and we won't stay very long. But I was wrong! But shady too, and so much fun! I loved t...

the good part: For Grandma
http://cincinnatigammons.blogspot.com/2010/07/for-grandma.html
We can spend our whole lives waiting to get to the good part or we can choose to make our lives the good part. Sunday, July 11, 2010. This blogging thing ain't goin. Anyway, the point is this. I put a lot of effort into getting the computer ready to receive. My witty insights into our exciting lives. And I don't have much energy left to provide said witty insights. So no complaints from the peanut gallery. We remodeled the kitchen and dining room. This is the only picture that even remotely relates t...

We can spend our whole lives waiting to get to the good part or we can choose to make our lives the good part. Saturday, December 26, 2009. In case we haven't seen or talked to you in the last two months, here is what is going on:. Lindsay has become a little motor mouth. She never stops making noise! We've had a lot of fun this week. Steve was off the last few days and it has been heavenly. We hung out with some friends on Christmas Eve and then that night we acted out the Christmas story with o...The f...

Pursuits of Happiness: December 2013
http://ourpursuits.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 15, 2013. Here are several hundred pictures from this fall. Because I want these happy moments on the record. Halloween "campout" with lots of our cute neighbors. Annual outing to the Red Barn with H&R and K. Started painting walls (still not finished). Spencer carried a handful of berries home from our morning walk in order to make a mud pie for the birds. Those moments in the sunshine are one of my favorite memories of that day. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Thanks for tending, Royce!

Pursuits of Happiness: June 2014
http://ourpursuits.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2014. This is getting ridiculous. I've got to get writing or summer will be over! I wonder sometimes if I should quit this blog altogether! But I can't quite. Because sometimes I need the lift that comes from reflecting on our little family story. And I also need the benefit of processing/pondering the here-and-now. Even if it only happens sporadically. So I'm going to keep trying. Let's start with Lucy turning nine. I truly love and admire her. And trust her. And when I simply enjoy ...

Pursuits of Happiness: November 2013
http://ourpursuits.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 10, 2013. It was a fun time, sandwiched in the middle of two full parent-teacher-conference days. So our festivities were minimal. But half-way through the evening, at the height of trunk-or-treat candy collecting, I heard Spencer say to his friend, " This is the best Halloween eve. So no great loss, I guess =). These big girls were ready to race off on their own. So grown up. But I did my best to stay on their heels. I'm not ready to give them up yet. =). Saturday, November 2, 2013.

Pursuits of Happiness: December 2014
http://ourpursuits.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 17, 2014. When I was little, Mom always set out a beautifully painted little wooden box as part of our Christmas decor. The box was empty, and it went with some story I can never really remember about a child giving his teacher a box filled with love. What I do remember well is that one year my nephew Ryan was examining the box and asked Grandma why it was empty. "It's not empty," Mom told him, "It's full of love! The lights are beautiful! So cheerful and hopeful and twinkling! And no...

Pursuits of Happiness: January 2014
http://ourpursuits.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 9, 2014. You're in bed right now, trying your best to fall asleep. It's always your hardest job of the day. There are so many things to record, Lucy. You are such a beautiful, blessed little girl. This has been such an important year for you - and such an overwhelming year for me, that I'm not getting anything recorded. But here's an inadequate attempt. Your first piano recital, spring 2013*. Reading The Chronicles of Narnia, fall 2013*. And my goodness, how true that has been. My eyes ...
