Whew! The birthday bash is now over, and I can take a moment to report to you that we celebrated Robert’s 40th in grand, and totally tubular 1980’s style! I had prayed about this party for months – asking that it would be fun, encouraging to Robert, and a recognition of his faithfulness in ministry… Read More Wayfarers on, Baby…..
We are having quite the birthday weekend here at the Krum house. Robert turned 40 on Thursday, and my dad turned 70 today! They are almost exactly 30 years apart to the day. We had a big breakfast, a steak dinner at home, and his favorite chocolate cake for dessert (recipe below!) to celebrate Robert’s… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Birthday Weekend
I have not been able to keep up with reading all of my favorite blogs, so I recently realized that Jenny had tagged me for a little bloggy game – to post the 6th photo out of the 6th folder from my computer. Well, this is it! Me, my kids, and two of their friends… Read More Ironic
Our homeschool group is studying geography this year. After each continent is studied for 3-6 weeks, we all gather for a time of reports and presentations. I say gather, because we did decide to split our growing-very-large-group. We are now two groups of 7 and 8 families. On report weeks we gather as a large… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Matooke
Just returned from a little getaway to Cape Cod – the “arm” of Massachusetts. I think this is our third annual fall trip there – a nice break after the craziness of the fall semester. We stay in the weekend home of friends of ours which has been such a blessing and generous gift. We… Read More Annual Cape Cod Trip
This recipe comes from Rebecca Reilly’s Gluten Free Baking. She specifies a couple of different flours to use, but I just use my typical mixture of rice, tapioca, and potato flours, and they seem to work just as well. I have made these multiple times for camping trips and backyard bonfires, so that the kids… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Graham Crackers
This chicken’s name used to be “Chocolate” or sometimes “Chocolate Bar,” (Kayla named them all) but now she is affectionately called “Hard Head.” She is extremely stubborn. In fact, all of the Barred Plymouth Rocks that we raised have this same stiff-necked streak. So, last night we went out to lock them up for the… Read More Adventures with Chickens: The Renegade
This past Saturday was the PERFECT day for apple picking! It was sunny, but cool, and the fall colors are starting to show everywhere. We went to two different orchards that are actually right next door to each other. Kayla found a very short and low hanging tree that doubled as a hideout. She gathered… Read More Apple Picking
This seems like such a perfect fall dish, and we’re planning to pick apples at a local orchard over the weekend. I haven’t actually tried this one yet, but plan to soon. Possibly for my dad’s 70th birthday in a few weeks. He’ll be visiting us here in New England for the special occasion, and… Read More Gluten Free Friday
Well, we don’t really ever “finish” church for the year, but in the fall when the students from the 5 College Area return, it feels like we are beginning again. This year marks our 10th “fall launch” as Robert calls it, and it always brings new faces and lots of activity. The 10th fall launch… Read More Back to Church 2008-2009
