A New Year starts...

at 01/16/08 3:07PM

January is half over or is at the mid-way point( for the negative and postive "outlookers").

Our family is well and very blessed.

After a pleasantly cold week in December, in North Carolina with all 9 of us together, we came back closely knit together with many happy and warm memories.

Lectures are approaching and friends are a'coming... birthdays for some of my favorite folks are around the corner... to name a few of the good things coming up.

May God bless you all as we strive to honor Him in this new year.

Don't think we will see you at leactures again this year - maybe we'll get down that way one of these "years"!

Hello!!! long time no post! I heard lorenzo spoke with you the other day! I was jealous he got to catch up with you and i didn't. Time sure does fly by...I can't believe we've already been here 3 1/2 months! We miss you!

by begooddontspit at 01/16/08 4:13PM
I'll be looking for you!

by textilet at 01/16/08 4:18PM
Hope you have a great year! Miss you bunches! I was going to come to lectures, but it's just not in the cards this year. Maybe next year.

by desi at 01/16/08 4:21PM
We enjoyed having some of your family out here last month; hope things go well with their upcoming changes.

Were you telling me that you have Rosetta Stone Spanish? Was if for beginners?

by textilet at 01/21/08 7:33AM
Love you :)

by joes_wife at 01/24/08 7:46PM
Hi, sweet friend. I look forward to seeing you around next week! :)

by motherofall at 01/29/08 9:18PM
I'm sure it's a busy week for you -- sister Rose is down there and getting some good visiting with Holly and her children. Hope you won't be exhausted from all the festivities.

by themother at 02/06/08 11:49AM
Nice visiting with you, even if it was brief!

by textilet at 02/08/08 9:19PM
You must be so proud! An exciting new beginning for Ben and Jenn.

I hope everything is well with you!

by textilet at 05/04/08 10:15PM
What a wonderful weekend! "Thank you" seems an inadequate return for the joy of being included in your family!

by themother at 05/06/08 12:37PM
Don't know when you'll check this, but sorry we weren't able to connect last week. Maybe before too long....

You never call me and Libba 'darling'!

by colorado_girl at 07/23/07 11:24PM
I love aprons too. Especially if they have a retro look to them :) Cute daughters! I can't wait to have sons some day ;)

by joes_wife at 07/24/07 9:50PM
I can't remember if I told you how much I ended up enjoying the book you recommended! I almost quit on it several times because the characters were SO OBNOXIOUS but the fact that you had said it was good kept me going and I was so glad I did. Thanks! I'll look forward to hearing about the new author.

by themother at 07/25/07 9:00AM
Mrs. Grieving! It's your favorite co-captain...will we be graced with your presence in Pagosa in a week?

There are wedding pictures here. Just paste the link into your browser:)

by desi at 07/26/07 10:39AM
And, of course you could take lessons if you lived by me :)

by desi at 07/26/07 10:40AM
I love Jennifer Chiaverini! I've been reading her for a long time and each year watch for her newest book. Right now I'm looking forward to the latest book in Donita Paul's Dragon series. And in September, a sequel to one I just found a few months ago -- The Lumby Lines by Gail Fraser (or Frazer, I forget.)

by themother at 07/30/07 9:23AM
Daughters are a true blessing!! Enjoy them~! :o)

by fourkings at 08/03/07 10:38AM
look at those homemakers! :)

by sunshinelove05 at 08/07/07 3:33PM
along that line, I'll be bringing some pretty amazing remnants to tomorrow or thursday.

by emilyjean at 08/14/07 10:20PM
Have you read any of Lisa Wingate's Tending Roses series? I just read the latest one -- I really like them. She has another series I don't like as well, but these are really good. (Read them in order, though.)

by themother at 08/16/07 9:16PM
Glad to see you at noon. Thanks for joining us. I say that every gathering's better with you there.

by motherofall at 08/20/07 6:34PM
Glad to hear you have kids home this weekend. :) Makes me happy to picture it. Enjoy, Mom.

by motherofall at 10/05/07 8:57PM
Does Tricia have a blog?

by motherofall at 10/19/07 7:30AM
Actually, I do look at it often...probably every day. I just don't post! And yes, I DID know that our offspring are going to fall banquet and I think that's VERY neat! :-)

just passing by

I am grateful for so many things right now and know that I should have these same thoughts all the time. I am proud of my children and so thankful that God has allowed Paul and I to be the ones to raise them. I have a wonderful husband that love so so much. I have great supportive family and friends... the list goes on and on.

We have had the privilege to attend several of the Thesis presentations and I was amazed at not only the depth of learning these "kids" have experienced but more importantly, the things they have been learning have been held up along -side scripture. I would encourage parents to explore the Liberal Studies program for their young men and women. For the guys - great life training skills and opportunities to use this knowledge in all walks: career, congregations and family. For the girls - if you are interested in God's great world, you can learn things that will help you be a more interesting wife and mother as well as understand His ways in our world... to name a few things!

To see how much the students grow spiritually over four years has been a wonderful privilege. I am not "plugging" sending your kids here, but if you and they want to continue towards higher education, then this school and program are such a great option.

Okay, you talked me into it. I'll send mine. Oh, wait....

How are things going?

by harbermama at 05/02/07 8:06AM
you should be camp friend! I'm really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!!

by jennking at 05/02/07 8:39AM
ps. you are soo weird!

by emilyjean at 05/02/07 9:28AM
good plug!

by ben at 05/02/07 12:47PM
Glad to see your sweet post. Hope to see you lots this weekend --starting today!

by motherofall at 05/03/07 4:41AM
Know you've got lots of excitement going on -- and probably won't be back to check this till the weekend is over -- but we're thinking of all of you!

by themother at 05/03/07 11:02AM
I can add my endorsment to yours. Liberal Studies is GREAT (books)! :)

by sunshinelove05 at 05/09/07 9:24PM
Thanks. I love your optimism-it makes me smile! :-)

by macmcc at 05/15/07 9:56PM
Click here to see photos of the wedding.

by sunshinelove05 at 05/20/07 11:25PM
Saw the photos -- they are great! What treasures! Enjoyed it so much.

by themother at 05/21/07 11:50AM
:) now you have a new "duckling" :D

by desi at 05/26/07 9:29PM
You can see them all!

by ben at 06/18/07 9:58AM
hooray! i bet you are so thrilled! (and I bet he is too!)

by alinaomi7 at 06/18/07 8:45PM
Hey, good to "see" you on pleo. I like your blog entry above.

by back_stage_mom at 06/29/07 9:06AM
This the the old Colorado Tara that is now the Alabama Tara. Just wanted to say hello. Sounds like your live is much like ours. Lance graduated from U.A.B. May 5, Chad got married June 9th, and on June 10th Lance and Shea told us that we'll be grandparents in January/February 08. I can't believe that our children are grown, married and starting families. Hope you are doing well!

by tarak at 07/05/07 3:55PM
Sweet friend, I'm sick. I'm sick all the time. I'm sure it's stress. This too shall pass. Probably by mid August, I'll stop being sick to my stomach. I love you and thanks for checking on me.

by spookbrat at 07/06/07 8:41AM

I am popular! thanks Alison : )

at 04/16/07 10:08AM

my 6 weird things :

1. I wash already supposedly- washed bagged salads ( using a grapefruit seed extract from the health food store)

2. I am not afraid to have my house unlocked day or night

3. I read AND eat in the bathtub

4. I don't like Harry Potter ( read the first one and am not intriqued, thank you very much)

5. I think Doris Day has a lovely singing voice

6. I typically do not laugh at what everyone else laughs at...

I like Doris Day's singing too -- and the Lennon Sisters (some of you may know who that is! And I read in the bathtub and while I don't remember eating, of COURSE I've drunk tea! So I don't think you're so weird....

by themother at 04/16/07 1:17PM
:) See you soon!!

by desi at 04/16/07 1:20PM
so how come Lorenzo get's a link and I don't? *pouty face*

by begooddontspit at 04/17/07 7:52AM
it IS! Kailey and Lorenzo's birthday's April 26th... :-)

by begooddontspit at 04/17/07 12:18PM
Those are not so weird.. I like Doris Day and I wasn't interested in HP either. About the unlocked thing... hmmm with illegal aliens seen all the time, no thanks -- we are glad that Taylor is a good watch dog, he barks at everything... which gives us some comfort... barky little dog!! Enjoy your week!

by fourkings at 04/18/07 3:46PM
I love to read in the bathtub

by macmcc at 04/20/07 3:16PM
Lunch was so very yummy! thankyouthankyouthankyou!

by alinaomi7 at 04/22/07 7:41PM
Thank-you for remembering my birthday!!!

by japxican at 04/26/07 9:49AM
Thanks for the bio support! I'll write about my six weird things really soon! Sorry I couldn't make it today--thanks for asking.

Happy March!

at 03/23/07 7:54AM

Just saying hello to anyone passing by and hope that all is well with you and yours. We are readying up for 2 graduations and a wedding. Life is good.

2 graduations and a wedding....yay!! :) Miss you! I'll be in FL on April 24!

by desi at 03/23/07 10:02AM
We have 3 graduations and 0 weddings. In a poker game, I think yours would trump! :-)

by harbermama at 03/23/07 10:15AM
Thanks for the wishes. Life IS good. :)

by motherofall at 03/24/07 8:17PM
A wedding always beats a graduation I think! Busy, Busy!

by theaunt at 03/27/07 3:21PM
hello favorite aunt!

by emilyjean at 03/28/07 12:11PM
Hope it's good with you too. Sounds busy

by macmcc at 03/28/07 10:43PM
Hope Paul and Hannah had a good trip. Mom is still fretting that it didn't work out for them to stay there but she admitted today that they probably wouldn't have been comfortable had they come. She's anxious to know how the trip went for them.

by themother at 04/02/07 10:09PM
Which neighbors was it (regarding the sprinkler) ? Sorry about that :(

by joes_wife at 04/02/07 11:35PM
Glad Paul and Hannah are having a good trip. Maybe another time it will work out!

by themother at 04/05/07 6:17PM
Hello Ms. Laura! I just thought of you and your girls. I hope life is always good! :)

by probablyreading at 04/13/07 8:04PM
Hello! This is Alison Konrad, in case you didn't know. Thankyou again for coming to my recital, I can't even tell you what it meant to me. Oh, and here's a present: Im tagging you, it means you have to post 6 weird things about yourself and then tag 5 other non tagged people, if you dont do this you'll have bad luck for 700000 years!

by alinaomi7 at 04/14/07 5:43PM
I want one (a dog) sooo badly. I travel way too much though.
