New Year's Eve

-
Each year the Wanta's, Ciriack's, Sayre's and some of Russ and Laurie's friends celebrate New Year's Eve together. In the past, we have done murder mystery dinners. We have always come in costume and have laughed the night away as we act out our various parts. This year was no different, although it wasn't a game that was bought, but rather Laurie and Samantha who wrote it. These two are quite creative and have a great vision on what will make a fun party. The theme this year was 1920's and we were a variety of characters. Adam was "Edward Haas" and here is a picture of him below:
Edward is the son of a grocer and was really interested in "baking powder." I was "Mrs.Anna Haas"-his wife:
I was a chain smoker woman from the 1920's. Eventually my husband invented the "Pez" candy which was suppose to help people stop smoking. The dispenser was in the shape of a lighter. Here are some more pictures from the evening:

Pro-Life or Not?

I am reading this great book by Shane Claiborne called "The Irresistible Revolution." The author is a Christian, but he is the type of Christian that Jesus was, not the type of Christian that we perceive ourselves to be. When he tries to live like Jesus, he really does. He is ALL about ending poverty in this nation, about feeding people, making wealth more "communal" (oh man would the Republicans HATE that!), and living like Jesus did. I certainly do not live like Jesus. I rarely communicate with the poor, the low in life's, the sick and diseased. I am not proud of myself for that. This book puts a new spin on Christianity and while most of our "churches" attest to following Jesus, it is certainly hard for them to "follow" Jesus on a 3-4 million dollar/year budget. Just saying... With that said, he has an AMAZING quote on pro-life. I "am" pro-life, but I have always stated that I am pro-life in every sense of the word. Anti-war, p...

My first born is officially four! I can hardly believe it! What an amazing journey it has been and I thought I would share a few things about him. Height: 40.5" (54 percentile) Weight: 33 lbs (20th percentile) BMI: below the 7th percentile. So he is tall-ish and skinny...a good way to be!! Eating: He eats a fairly healthy diet. He obviously strongly desires desserts at all time. He will get through dinner, just so a dessert can occur! Ha. I think he has my sweet tooth. Right now he is in love with cashews, raisins, granola bars, and broccoli. And desserts! He often makes dinner a seemingly long battle, in which he is the only one left at the table. I am sure we will work through this behavior as well. Sleeping: No more naps, but takes 1 1/2 hours of quiet time in the basement playing by himself. He then sleeps from about 8pm until 8am. Just recently, he has been going all night without a wet diaper. So, we are officially night trained as well. It is kinda cute how he...
