14th Story: September 2013
http://alisterandsarah.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 7, 2013. And then there is the salo lady - she sells pork products. But we mostly eat chicken, or beef, and pork maybe once in three months. She always gives the kids a big slice of salo. Today though, something in my mind triggered and I thought SALT PORK. It was a light bulb. isn't it interesting how words can have so much weight? You say salt pork, and you think I could use that to flavor soups. Which we all know it isn't. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

14th Story: April 2013
http://alisterandsarah.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 26, 2013. Because you do not ask. My 3 year old, after a very joyful 20 minutes of morning, somehow stumbled into the dark side and decided to scream, wail, and gnash teeth for close to 45 minutes today. Aside from the fact that she had probably woken up too early from yesterday's activities, the reason for the tantrum was unfounded. She decided she couldn't pull on her trousers without help and rather than ask. The entire time I'm watching her I'm thinking of James 4:1-3 (NIV). My daughter...

14th Story: Pomegranates
http://alisterandsarah.blogspot.com/2013/01/pomegranates.html
Tuesday, January 29, 2013. There are times when living abroad is a chore. Especially with the two kids, on really rough days I can't help but think it would all be easier if we were back home . . . wherever home actually is for the two of us. There are other days, like today, when it is just such a joy to live abroad. Today's joy was brought on by the simple pleasure of making this. And so, after reading through the recipe for Pomegranate chicken. As a side and had panna cotta. I wish we could come!

14th Story: Cranberry Vodka cookies
http://alisterandsarah.blogspot.com/2012/12/cranberry-vodka-cookies.html
Wednesday, December 19, 2012. This is not a food blog. There will be no fancy pictures making you drool. No step-by step instructions. Just a recipe and the fact that these are so yummy I had to share. In Ukraine, vodka is cheap. You can buy a liter for $2. Gin, Whiskey, Bailey's - WAY more expensive. So when I decided to look for a recipe for an odd cocktail - I found this Cranberry Vodka Tonic. The sludge left from the recipe (originally 1 lb of cranberries) was enough to mix nicely with 1/2 a batch of...

IT ALL STARTED IN ALASKA. Saturday, October 6, 2012. Maia woke me up at 6am ready to go hit garage sales! So we did (she found "like new" tinkerbell rollerskates for a dollar!

Bathroom and Picnic Lunch stop just outside of Julian. Jaelyn completely thrilled about something. :-). I can't believe these days are almost over! Blogger: ...

IT ALL STARTED IN ALASKA. Sunday, March 25, 2012. This Saturday was relaxed and productive around the house. We had a blast hanging out as a family and enjoying each other. Lots to explore and create. Helping Daddy in the morning sun. Talking on the phone while spinning in circles - of course the day included some dancing. Hanging out in the morning sun. We tried to go to the YMCA pool, but we were given wrong information and the pool was closed when we got there.bathtub was second best! I pray that all ...

About six months ago, Josh and I started thinking, praying, and researching schools. Maia is going into. But still no release to flee! So here we go, stepping out in faith. There will be days like this. The first day.the girls writing/drawing in their prayer journals before we started math meeting :-). A few other snaps from the day. Computer time with Lexia.

http://meljoshfamily.blogspot.com/2012/10/prek-open-house.html
IT ALL STARTED IN ALASKA. Saturday, October 6, 2012. Maia has danced right into PreK with complete confidence. I asked her this morning what she loved about school. She said playing with my new friends. She was sooo excited to have us come to her open house. "Mom, this is the coolest. It is going to be so fun, you know it is going to be awesome! You get to come see my school! And we did :-) I LOVE her school! Maia telling us about circle time. Showing us how to rock the playground. A little bit of us.
