The Kind of Family we Aren't

I don't think she meant to be, but Sarah's description of our family is funny to me. Especially the line, "we're not the kind of family that makes other families jealous."



My childhood dream to grow up and be the matriarch of the new Waltons has just been crushed.



Read her blog post here, on Nov 22 "Giving Thanks," where she also refers to our home as sometimes "more of a war zone than a shelter." Tis true, we ain't the Cleavers, she adds, but rather the kind other people can look at and say of their own, "guess we aren't so bad after all."

I doubt we'll be making our debut on NBC anytime soon as the Ideal Family. Sniff, sniff .

Playing Dad

Joel cracked me up last night. I was scrapbooking in the basement, and everyone else had gone upstairs. Jeol was ready for bed. Rather matter-of-factly, he turned to me and said, "Be sure to turn everything off and lock up."

Our whole family gets a kick daily out of Joel. He really lights up our lives.
Sarah, our 17 year old, wrote something she loves about him. Check it out at www.77thpsalm.blogspot.com. (Her blog is called Homeward Bound. My link button isn't working right today.)
