7 quick takes: a photo diary of feast days + a remembrance


Thanksgiving feast


Thanksgiving night on the back patio

Alex's 20th birthday

Advent
I'm posting a simple daybook post every day in Advent.
  You can see the first two weeks here.
Natalie's 16th birthday

This girl of mine is celebrating her birthday with a 
party once a week between now and Christmas. 
 More photos certainly to follow.

Some good reading online from the past couple of weeks:

Emotional Wreck at catapult* magazine:  Yes, I wrote this but the whole issue is worth a read.  We are, indeed, creatures who experience complex emotions.

Advent from the German Embassy:  Just a delightful interactive Advent calendar from the German Embassy

The Merry Little Christmas Project: The Year We {almost} Didn't Have a Christmas Tree at Cha-Ching on a Shoestring: I love the insight my sister Kaley shares with her story and in her question "Who decided that MORE is better at Christmastime?"

A year later, a remembrance


Sandy Hook: "Evil Did Not Win":  May we all know the power of goodness healing us where evil tried to triumph
