Meredith has to wear shoes now at daycare because she’s going to walk any day now! I am secretly happy they are making her wear them because they are adorable. Time // 7:01 p.m. Place // My parents’ house Eating // Fried chicken and ice cream Drinking // Water Watching // US Women’s Olympic soccer Reading // The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton Wanting // To decorate our bedroom Thinking // About how I can get exercise I enjoy back into my life Creating // Daily videos for VEDA Hoping // To make some connections at our new church soon Needing // Help revamping my blog Anticipating // A weekend with no plans at all

A lot of different small-ish factors converged at once to bring me to the point where I had to take a break from blogging until things calmed down. The tipping point came when we had to cancel our cable and Internet temporarily, but we are back up and running again and life has generally resumed its former normality. In the meantime I’ve mostly been keeping up with Project Life, so I thought a good way to recap what’s been going on with us would be to share my spreads. Here we go. Week 20 (June 10 – 16) This…
