Today Mallory, Charlie, Clara, Adam, & I were off on our second Christmas Break Adventure, to visit the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site. I have been driving past the sign on the interstate for forty years and never been to see it, so today I roped the kids into going with me. It was […]
Yesterday Lesley and Connor were here for supper, and we had a crowd over for supper to spend time with them. Everyone also got a chance to head to the basement to see Jeff and Mason’s Christmas village. By the time I took this picture half of the people here had left, but it was […]

Wednesday night when I was working at church cleaning up after supper, they were going to throw away the leftover desserts, but I told them I’d take them. So Thursday when I picked Mallory and her friend Emma up after school – no school for them on Friday since that was the day set aside […]
Last year Jeff didn’t ever set up the Christmas Village, much to Mason’s dismay. Needless to say this year that could not happen, so Jeff got it all out, and got Mason to come over and spend an afternoon helping him get it all finished up. Mason’s job was all the detail pieces while Jeff […]
