I spent almost all day abed, with coffee and books. And I've read some mothering encouragement the past few days that I'd like to pass along. The first is from Camille, with Scripture and medieval mommy-inspiration from Martin Luther. Karen writes a mother's day tribute to both her mother and her daughter, and the journeys the Lord has walked the three of them through. I was able to have a long, enjoyable conversation with my own.http://www.tulipgirl.com/mt/archives/001483.html To My Parents- May 10, 2008 "Through the years, you've never let me down You've turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found I've found with you ...

Our team won, and our family had a fun. The whole atmosphere of the game was great; the cool fresh air, the excitement, the game announcer's voice reverberating, the hot dogs. . . I remember my folks bringing us to a game in Racine when I was growing up. It was the same thing. Minor league games are are the best. (And the boys understood a lot more now that they've been playing baseball,...http://www.tulipgirl.com/mt/archives/001481.html I'm an Auntie- May 6, 2008 These three precious little ones were born within a month of each other. Twin girls in one family, and a firstborn son in the other. And yes, I've volunteered to babysit! My boys seem so BIG when I see these newborns....http://www.tulipgirl.com/mt/archives/001479.html Sunday Afternoon Meanderings. . .- May 4, 2008 We've been continuing our mellow-weathered springtime. The lanai is still our makeshift office, and the kids are running around in the backyard or swimming in the pool for hours each day. I finished up this semester's classes with a sigh of relief. I toyed with the idea of not taking any classes in the summer, but scheduling wise have ended up with two--Statistics and the Psychology of Religion. Ought to be interesting, to say the least. (And challenging--statistics, to me, is like a foreign...http://www.tulipgirl.com/mt/archives/001477.html Love Them Fiercely- May 4, 2008 More for the mommy-inspiration files, from Kim at Upward Call. I asked her if I could share this here, because it wasn't originally posted on her blog or written with mothers in mind. Instead, these were ideas she was mulling and had in mind for a younger group of Believers, those who are not yet parents. Still these were the words I needed to read and again turned my heart towards Christ and my children. As a parent, I have learned a lot. As a parent, I have re-visited how I was parented and...http://www.tulipgirl.com/mt/archives/001476.html Sea World!- May 3, 2008 Tomorrow is our much anticipated family trip to Sea World!
