About Me

Did you ever split a cookie between two kids and hear each of them ask for the "bigger" half? With several beautiful acres in southeast Missouri, the beginnings of a homestead and five wonderful children (and one due in Jan) we really feel like we've been blessed by our Creator with more than our share. And we'd like to, well, share some of it with you here. (Clicking on the image at left should take you straight to my totally unorganized photo page.)

The Bigger Half

New look and the kids' stars
How do ya'll like the new look?  You can click on the photo above at any time and it will take you to our Flickr page to view our other photos, which is kinda disorganized, but oh well.

A few months ago we swapped bedrooms with the kids and now when I lay down at night I have a wonderful view of the kids' star stickers on the ceiling (which is slanted, being a glorified attic).  They're arranged in constellations, of which I can name only half.  Last night after I turned out the light I happened to notice one of the stars twinkling.  A lightning bug had gotten in and was flashing away right in the midst of the stickers!  How funny.  I had to poke Bobby who was almost asleep and share with him.  He didn't find it nearly as funny as I did.  That might have had something to do with the fact that he had to get up an hour earlier than usual in the morning.  The bug travelled from one end of the visable universe to the other, blinking away, and reminded me of a satelite.  (laf)

This brings up a question that's been eating at me this summer... when the kids bring in their jars teeming with fireflies...      Would we like cockroaches a little better if their butts lit up?

I like the new look!! It is very pretty! I wonder what a bioluminescent roach would look like? Would it flash some other color? LOL! That was too funny! I like the idea of a lightnening bug being a satelite...that would make a good kid story! Leave it to you to have such a neat imagination!
