outside my window . . . the day seems a bit colorless, especially after yesterday's brilliant afternoon. A thorough chilliness is settling back in.
I am listening to . . . my two-year old throw a "me do" frustration temper tantrum.
I am wearing . . .brown pants, brown sweater, tan knit shirt and a pale pink scarf.
I am so grateful for . . . morning fellowship with two dear friends. Laughter, prayer, and coffee.
I'm pondering . . . Romans 12.
I am reading . . . Romans 12.
I am creating . . . still working on the crochet shawl. It may be a while.
I am thankful for . . .
a generous welcome for our new youth director
a delightful, if small, birthday party for my Little E
hubby's help with getting my eldest off to school allowing me to start school here earlier
friends who "get" me - even when I don't "get" myself
loving family even through a tumultuous adjustment period
around the house . . . we have one more day to get the dining table cleared of the Christmas stuff. It is about half put away.
from the kitchen . . . Salmon tonight for Little E's birthday dinner. Last night, her actual birthday, was a youth night so the family wasn't all together. We'll toast her 9th birthday tonight over her favorite meal!
real education in our home . . . finishing up Adam and His Kin this week and moving on to the story of Gilgamesh next week. I have a trilogy of Gilgamesh picture books - beautiful illustrations.
the church year in our home . . . we'll read a little about Brigid of Kildare tomorrow and enjoy some Irish tea bread. The next day is Candlemas. I'm hoping to come up with a little celebration for that. I've yet to find a kit for beeswax candles.
recent milestones . . .
Baby L's new word: Shu-by (Shelby - one of our dogs)
My sweet middle daughter, Little E, turned 9!!!

Kerry, I so enjoy your Daybook entries. They provide such an interesting snapshot into your days. I'm wondering, is it a meme that you run yourself? Is it run out of another blog?
Hi, Jessica! It is a meme started (I think) by a blogger named Peggy. I used to link to her meme each week, but after a while I quit because I didn't like having to wait until she got her link up to finalize my post with a link to her page, etc.
Here's here blog: http://thesimplewomansdaybook.blogspot.com/
Thank you, Kerry!
