I am an artist & teacher with a ❤ for visual expression, educational methodology, homesteading, & Jesus. My geek-love is The Joshua and we have three peanut-butters: Caleb, Jack, & Louritta.

We’re in the Pioneer Press

08/26/2008

Check it out, we’re on the cover of the Pioneer Press today! It’s a neat story about our Twitter use. It’s interesting and weird to see yourself in print like that. I think it was a nicely written story! My biggest nervousness comes from thinking people will come to my blog and see my horrible Read More

Caleb Update

08/20/2008

I can’t believe Caleb will be one year old in just two weeks! He said his first sentence today. He looked at the cat, who was sleeping on the couch, extended his hand (his version of waving looks more like giving the power or faith healing) and said “Ha titi!” Which was putting together “hi” Read More

Harry Potter

08/20/2008

I finally started reading the Harry Potter books. I know, horribly late, how could I wait so long?, out of the loop, blah, blah, blah. The truth of the matter was that, when the books were all in fad, I was too busy reading other stuff regarding art, art history, teaching, cultural studies, technology and Read More

Pigeon Print on Window

08/09/2008

Pigeon on Window, originally uploaded by StephLewis. While we were staying with my parents in February 2008, we heard a loud noise upstairs. My dad came inside the house and said a goshawk was chasing the pigeons. We looked on the dining room window and saw this print of a flying pigeon on the window. Read More

Baby Bunny

08/09/2008

Henson & Ella with Bobos, originally uploaded by StephLewis. I was out in our yard today with Ella and Caleb. Ella was just sniffing around like usual while Caleb and I were on the swings. Then I heard this loud “Reeeee!” sound and saw three baby bunnies go bolting across the yard in different directions. Read More

Information Age

07/24/2008

I went to the doctor today for a consult before I attempted to get pregnant again (because of my miscarriage history). I left thinking about God’s sovereignty and humans worshipping at the idol of data (I had some metropolis-like imagery of humans worshipping a giant computer in my head at this point, but that’s neither Read More

I Am Not Unemployed

07/17/2008

I was giving information at my new medical clinic and they asked me, among other questions, what my occupation was. I answered, “Homemaker.” I still cringe a bit when I say it, probably mostly because I’m worried that the person I’m talking to will think homemakers are lame. (I read a study recently that said Read More

Phishing

07/16/2008

After I ordered some invitations through Apple, I got an e-mail: From: Apple Subject: IMPORTANT: Billing Problem Thinking that it was something messed up with the invites I just ordered, I opened the e-mail. It had Apple images, even Apple’s font. It said: “We were unable to process your most recent payment. Did you recently Read More

Caleb Calls Ella Successfully

07/02/2008

Caleb Watches His Dogs 6, originally uploaded by StephLewis. Today, Caleb and I were hanging out in the yard with the dogs. Though he had been saying “Ella” for quite some time now, the dogs never paid any attention to him. Today, that changed. He looked at Ella, raised his hand, and said, “Ella! Ella! Read More

My Failures as a Parent

07/02/2008

My failures as a parent currently include the following: 1. Animal Sounds We have an animal book that is really fantastic. I point to the pictures and say, “This is a lion, he says ROAR!” Caleb loves it. We read this book more than any other book and Caleb looks at it by himself a Read More
