As expected the Evans family vacation was rich for blog material. Never a dull moment. Highlights include: My sister’s complete abandonment of self-awareness as she attempted to give an interpretive dance of our personalities (almost didn’t make it to the bathroom for that one). My Dad initiated a devotional time each morning from all the guys. … Continue reading Family Fun

Quotable Day
These are a few of my quotes from the day. It’s been a doozy. “Happy Birthday Lovey” “Yeah, I agree. Her head is much straighter” “Oooh. The carpet is sooo nice! I could run up and down the stairs all day. I guess I already do that.” “Loves! Help! I can’t keep everyone safe!” “NO… Continue reading Quotable Day
“Look at me. I am hideous.”

Dip-it Nachos
This recipe is for those who have asked for it multiple times but have never received a response because I am in a season of short-term memory loss (it’s called, 3 Children Under 2 Syndrome).

Oh well, if I looked back 30 years from now and saw 5 perfectly dressed little girls all sitting still … Continue reading Reality
KluckStock 2010
We have dear friends at our church who adopted their 2nd little boy from Ukraine last year. At that time they learned he had a sister, and she is now available to be adopted. They are eager to bring her home, but are out of funds. This Friday at University Reformed Church… You’re Cordially Invited… Continue reading KluckStock 2010
Happy Anniversary
Our 8th anniversary was yesterday. I thought about writing a poem about my husband. I had a great opening line: “I married a man who lived in a van.” That was it though. I’m not a good poet. I am good at lists however. So here is a non-exhaustive list of 10 Things I… Continue reading Happy Anniversary
Hunting in Pairs
Life with Twin 1 year olds They hunt in pairs and some days I wish I could just find a place to hide. Their names are Kate and Lucy. Really they are much cuter, but if you think I’m exaggerating click on the picture…
