I finally saw Ratatouille this weekend and I absolutely adored it!
I loved how they didn’t ever have the rats speak to the humans, just used gestures and expressions. As a dabbler in art, [...]

God has brought our friends Owen & Kelly home with their new twin boys. See their link in my blog roll for more.
Right now I’m just so happy for them I really don’t know what else to say.

done? great. onward we go.

I took photos all over Dallas this weekend. I’ll post those later, but the best photo was the one I didn’t take.
We visited Martin’s one remaining Aunt. His Father’s sister. She lives at home with constant nursing supervision. She is not physically doing well. As a matter [...]
