Newness

Spring is here.

Okay, not quite. But I’m ready for it anyway.

And with it comes a fresh format.

The old, dark, treehouse background was growing mildew; I’ve been getting tired of looking at it, to be honest. That, and the family is transitioning. The girls are teenagers (Lord help me) and aren’t as involved in the daily antics of home life, opting instead to spend time text messaging, hiding in their rooms or hanging out with friends.

Sister B is almost 18. Sister S will be 17 at the end of the year, and sister L will be 15 on her next birthday, which is rapidly approaching.

Michael, of course, is sprinting toward age 7, and we’re anticipating all of the joys and sorrows, tribulations and victories that comprise that particular stage of life.

The scene shown in the comparatively minuscule header above depicts a common occurrence: Daddy chauffeuring Michael to some destination (e.g. school, swimming, errands) while Michael fills the airspace with his inimitable, inscrutable and fundamentally unrelenting palaver.

It’s different. It’s a contrast change. But mostly, the header is smaller so you don’t have to scroll down as far to get to the post. You’re welcome.
