Leslie Family Adventure: 3/1/15 - 4/1/15

http://lesliefamilyadventure.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 14, 2015. In the 90s movie Dangerous Minds. Michelle Pheiffer's character gets her class' attention by using the word "choose" in one of her first lessons. She later says that each person in her class has a choice, always. You can either choose to leave here and not graduate, or you can stay and put up with me. It may not be a choice that you like, but you do. Have a choice.". I was capable in, something. Feels like… to have it all yanked away. Walking. Away is different. To be left w...

Leslie Family Adventure: Details

http://lesliefamilyadventure.blogspot.com/2014/03/details.html

Monday, March 17, 2014. I've been asked a number of times over the last few days/weeks what we're doing and where in the world we are. So here are some details. The couple, be loving on them in a very real, very physical way. Look like, time to sort of get 'back to his roots' and all in the company of good friends, new and old. He was due to come back in the middle of the night on a Tuesday. The Saturday before, while he was still away, a good friend phoned me up at my parent's house. The movie, not the ...

Leslie Family Adventure: Sheets... and Home Smells

http://lesliefamilyadventure.blogspot.com/2014/03/sheets-and-home-smells.html

Sunday, March 9, 2014. Sheets. and Home Smells. Laundry detergent and hanging them on my. Washing line. I love. I distinctly remember the time period after Todd and I got engaged but before we were married when I felt like a kid in a candy store. I wasn’t giddy about bridal dress shopping but because we got to go into stores and were handed what I might consider the world’s BEST toy:. Now some might argue that it’s great until you don’t get something you really wanted, but I beg to differ. Just before ou...

Friday, January 24, 2014. Fake It Til You Make It. I was walking through my favorite South African grocery store (Woolworths for those that care) a few years back for some true necessity. Because of this domestic emergency, I dragged myself out of the house when all I wanted to do was call it a day at 2pm and go to bed. And in that shop, my child, who had been making me daydream of torture, because that. Would be so much more enjoyable. Than dealing with her. Understand the motivations behind the need fo...

Thursday, September 26, 2013. Explodes out of your mouth. And at that point, you realize that this isn't a "passing phase." You will be repeating and reminding, ceaselessly, every waking hour you spend with your children, not just for months, but years and decades to come. Will this go the way of the Germans who spread their defenses too thinly on the Eastern and Western Fronts? Or Napoleon or the Romans who just thought they could conquer it all but their egos got bigger than their reserves? My boy, on ...

Friday, November 22, 2013. We had this chapel speaker when I was at college. I actually think they were talking about the differences between boys and girls, but what was said finally put words to something I felt for a long time was just sand through my fingers. He said that girls are like spaghetti and we think like spaghetti, everything. Stopping and starting with something else. One big mess of yumminess. Cue lightbulb over the main character's head here. That's it! There's only us, t. Is just to be.

Thursday, August 29, 2013. For the record, if Zora wants someone to take an interest in her, she tilts her head to one side. If she REALLY wants someone or something to notice her, she fairly turns herself upside down tilting her head to the side. No problem. Stopping? A bit tricky but only had to show her once. Starting? This is a big deal? Okay, then I'll smile really. For the camera but I still slightly think you're all nuts.". Sunday, August 4, 2013. To grocery shop with four kiddos and how. To get e...

Leslie Family Adventure: Warmth and High Cholesterol

http://lesliefamilyadventure.blogspot.com/2014/03/warmth-and-high-cholesterol.html

Saturday, March 29, 2014. Warmth and High Cholesterol. And my language of love. It's my poetry that says that life, like food, is meant to be full-bodied, decadent, savored, enjoyed and gulped down so that you can shove more in before you get too full and have to stop.

Monday, May 12, 2014. I'm a storyteller by nature. So let me tell you a story about what happened this past Tuesday. How long have you been here? What does your wife do? Is true: You complete me. Only for us, we found that "you" was broad and included many, many people because in big and small ways, each of those people have shown us a new picture of our Creator, and even if they didn't mean to, I'm so thankful for each snapshot.

Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Two weeks ago and that meant Todd helped me string a sheet up to cover our staircase and we put this half-blanket half-decoration from IKEA on the floor. (Seriously, where has that thing been the last 5 years? No, those aren't teeth, she's just a St. Bernard and drool is apparently shinny in pictures. This is the typical Zora look: Okay, I'm here. I'm cute. Entertain me. Mom, I know that I technically stole this basket when I promised to return it 8 years ago and managed, instead,...
