Happy Birthday Dad!

May 18, 2010 / 2 Comments

Today I’d like to say Happy Birthday to my dad, who taught me how to rock climb, make friends with strangers, downhill ski, win road races, make jokes even when everyone’s in a bad mood, think like a board of directors, and remain calm even when things look very grim. He and my mom raised seven kids to find their own adventures in life and try to be nice to everyone along the way. Happy Birthday Dad!

Hi! I live in Vermont with my husband Joe and our four daughters: 11, 9, 6, and 3.

Writing on this blog is fluid. In an effort to just keep going I try to publish things before they feel ready or perfect, and I often come back and edit them again, later on. Its primary purpose is a way to engage with others on topics that otherwise swirl about in my mind in a lonely way. I spend most of my time homeschooling and learning alongside the girls. I grew up in Michigan and was homeschooled with my six siblings until I went to high school. I believe in God; our family attends a Mennonite church.
