Name: Sarah
State: Pennsylvania
Metro: The Poconos
Birthday: 11/13/1981
Gender: Female
Interests: I'm Sarah. I'm married to Dan, and being a wife and mom to 3 little kids (and attempting to keep the house "under control") is my job. (You can see my kids' lilypies at the bottom of my page.) Last fall we moved from St. Louis, MO to northeast PA, where I'm originally from. We are living in my parents' guest house while our house is being built. It will be done late this year or I will kill myself. (Joking!) I love the outdoors, but realized recently that I don't get out nearly as much as I'd like. But, I am learning to snowboard! I love it! I LOVE to read, pretty much anything. I like to sew, knit & quilt, bake & cook yummy foods, scrapbook, play Scrabble, and watch good movies. So. There you have it: my life in a nutshell. :)
Expertise: Keeping people out of trouble. :)

| No, I haven't died. Nor have I fallen off the face of the planet. :) I've just sort of given up blogging. I'm kind of tossing around the idea of starting my own blogspot so I can mobile post pics from my iPhone, which takes less effort than sitting down to do this, but... I don't know. I'm just sort of over blogging. Sorry, world. I know you really care.
ANYway, we've been in our big new house for about 2 weeks now! It's great! The kids love their rooms, and I love having space and a big kitchen and family room... and big closets, too. That's wonderful. I um, also got a puppy last week. You can see him at myblockfamily.blogspot.com. He's cute and the kids are enjoying him. I'll be happy when he's house-trained. :)
Tristan's yelling, so I gotta go. I'll really try to blog again soon, here or somewhere! :)

| :: Dan and Will are in STL, getting one last load of our stuff, and doing Dan's final hip-surgery check ups. They'll be driving home Sunday. Will's such a big, grown-up traveler boy. He didn't complain once during the whole 14.5 hr. drive out there. Such a good kid.
:: The kids and I played legos (built barns) and read books by the fire.
:: Tonight I'm making apple-blueberry crisp for dinner at my parents.
:: They have dear friends from Sanibel visiting, and we'll sit around and play games afterward.
:: I've done two loads of laundry and am going to watch a chick-flick tonight when the kids are asleep. When I'm out of Radio Factor podcasts, I listen to a soundtrack of my top-rated songs on iTunes while I fold laundry, and each song transports me far away totally different. I love it! (Yeah I'm kind of a geek-head girl.)
:: When the kids get up from naps we're heading outside to sled on the lake. I love it more than they do, I think. I have an obsession with geting outside every day, regardless of the weather. Kind of crazy, but it always works out ok. Sometimes the kids end up wanting to stay out longer than I do, despite their earlier grumblings.
:: We should be moving into our house within the next month. *eeeeek* I'm cautiously optimistic!
:: I stayed on top of cleaning enough this week that I have a fairly peaceful weekend ahead, I think, which is a great feeling.
:: I've successfully kept the fire roaring on my own (even overnight!) and am pleased with that. I'm thankful for Dan's hard work and the giant stack of wood on our back porch.
:: I'm excited for the future: for spring, for moving, for newness.; for warmer weather and more time outside.
:: I'm thankful for a cute crafty girl, who happily sits and cuts, glues and tapes pieces of (only) pink paper together. She'll be 4 in a couple months (!!) How is that even possible?
:: And I'm thankful for my cute, spunky two year old bundle of love and happiness. He is purely delightful!

| I have wanted to read through the bible in a year for several years but I've never actually done it. Recently I found this and it has been so amazing! Every morning the reading for the day is in my feedreader, and there is also an audio link! At first I was just reading it, but I've found that listening while I read helps me to slow my reading down a bit (I'm a notorious speed reader) so I am actually retaining more. At first I was a little annoyed that my life is apparently so tech-y that the only way I can consistently get my Bible readings in is to do it on the computer... but... at this point in life, I'm going to take whatever works! And this is working for me.
In other news, Tristan's latest word is "hallelujah". Just a minute ago I was scolding him for taking his socks off again (he's recently discovered toe fuzz and takes his socks off several times a day to check for it) and he replied to my "Tristan! Your toes are so cold-- you need to keep your socks on!" with "Oh! Hallelujah!" I almost burst out laughing. He sounds so holy! It is a pretty hilarious response, you must admit. :)

| gone to the library here! For the first time since high school. Yep, pathetic, I know, but parking's terrible, and it's just... not... worth it. Dan stayed with Will and Hallie at their gymnastics class at the Y and I walked to the library with Tristan. I got three books, two from my recently complied 2009 reading list and one to read aloud to Will. We already read the first chapter tonight-- he loved it. :) Tristan spotted the train table at the library and begged, "choo choo! peas, choo choo!" So next week I'll try to let him play for a bit. After all the other two are having a blast at gymnastics, so it's only fair, right? Besides, he's way too cute and asks way too sincerely for me to turn him down two weeks in a row. :)
PS: I have my reading list up on Facebook, if you're interested in checking it out. I am also actively recruiting suggestions for more books. Ideas welcome!!!
