Hello Folks,

.

Life seems to be getting harder to blog. As our time is taken up in a house search, office work and desk work, I seem to have hit the usual late winter bloggin photo doldrums where creativity abandons me to a fate of blandness. 

.

Our house search does forge ahead. Opportunities there are. Offers, even, have been made. A purchase, my friends, yes a purchase is still wanting. 

.

Gotta run.

.

As Always,

Love In Christ Jesus,

Michael  & Rebekah Thomas

Book reccomendation for the week is ...

 

Diaper Free: The Gentle Wisdom of Natural Infant Hygiene 

 .

Would you believe me when I told you that, at three months, Jack can go most of the day with a dry diaper? Ok, maybe not EVERY day, but he can .... and does. It's worth checking out. 

.

Remember, purchases through the site ... help support the site!

Anniversary celebration

Though it wasn't planned, the Lueken's latest play lent a light hearted start to my wife & my anniversary get-away weekend

The Pirates of Penzance - A tale of a pirate who's exaggerated sense of duty keeps him always in trouble

An old women hardened by the woes of pirate life

Perhaps this young sailor could have taken a lesson from the Song of Songs to not awaken love before it's time.

Saturday we visited Stockbridge.

Alas, no pictures allowed!

Back at home, we assemble a concoction of sparkling apple cider and left over vanilla ice cream. For the record, I wouldn't recommend it. ;-)

But it sure looked cool!

A vist to the office

Jack pays a visit to the office

Wary of the "Barf Zone" Tim cautiously says hello

Dave doesn't seem overly impressed

A visit to Grandma's

The life of a great grandson ... apparently it feeds well.

A beautiful gift for my guitar.

The hard case is christened with a sticker

Life is good

Though I haven't really taken to cloth diapers, if you are going to do the Elimination Communication deal, it does make sense to use the G-Diapers

Awwwkward

Random Thomas Stuff

Epic Cuteness

A jealous violin sits forgotten and alone watching his two cousins being played.

... a time to speak

Jack tries his hand at sleeping like a man of the sea.

First, our joints are warmed for action ...

Tumbling practice ... side note, three guys + one carpet = one big collision

With Ducks on the horizon, a home is needed

With about a few hours of warmth, Marscel crowns me king of the Duck Builders, Inc.

Fighting frustration as I think about my speed square, beautiful circular saw and all those other amazing tools I have ... at MY house, I remain calm. After all adaptation is supposed to be a strength of ENTPS.

Well ... he seems to trust me

Struggling with reality

My wife settles in to watch the fun

For a circular saw all bent up, a drill I have to PLUG IN, and NO speed square, It didn't come out that bad. (no comments on the angles please)

Marscel tests it's duckability. With his stamp of approval, all that's needed is some chicken wire on the sides and he should be good to go.

Me? Why me?

Daddy!!!!!!

Pa and Matthew set out for some guy time together

Ok, I know you Southern readers probably have roses in full bloom by now, but for me, this one litte bloom has my heart singing. At last ... at LONG LAST ... spring is here. No more shall it be always winter and never Christmas. Make no mistake, Aslan is on the move.

.

Well, thats all for now. Y'all come again, ya hear?

Best laugh I've had in a while ... here's to all them reformed women!

Step aboard a couple of God's most mind blowing animals ...

Hello folks,

.

No house yet. Life moves on with some level of monotony, some level level of excitement and occasional times of feeling absolutely on the edge of life. 

.

Please do keep us in prayer. House stuff, business stuff, and yet, I'm still trying not to forget the little things. 

.

Praise God for his Providence!

.

As always,

Love In Christ Jesus,

Few things give great grandmother's as great joy as ... great grandchildren.

Of course the aunt's are still enamored

I love my wife!

Yeah ...

No chords struck there.
