Ch-ch-ch-changes

Last updated on: April 9, 2010 at 12:58 am By Kate Cousino

So, it’s been a while. Yeah. Some changes since I last posted:(when did I last post? Thanksgiving?) – We moved. Not far, still in the same neighborhood, still renting. There were health problems with the last house and the decision to move was…accelerated…but we needed something a tiny bit larger anyway. So we have a new address, one more room, and…a BACKYARD!! Completely fenced in. Praise the Lord, how did I ever care for two active boys without one?! –... Read more

You are the dead. Long years agoyou fought, and died, were laid belowthe crosses, there in Flanders Field.Ninety Novembers now have pealedChurch bells and speeches for the deadby dwindling rank of comrades led,to honor you – – John McCrae,and all who stood in danger’s way. Your poem — it haunts me now as whenI memorized first, at ten.(So many children have). But I— I hear the larks sing in the skyand shiver at the dead belowthe crosses, laid in Flanders... Read more

Why I Love Halloween

Last updated on: October 29, 2009 at 12:47 pm By Kate Cousino

I love Halloween. I always have. When I was a child, I loved Halloween for the same reasons as children everywhere. The fun of dressing up and, of course, the free candy. The adventure of going to so many houses and being out after dark. The delightful thrill of pretending to be scared of the spooky decorations and spooky costumes. My parents were less openly enthusiastic, but I know my mother’s creative side enjoyed coming up with new ways to... Read more

Ambitions

Last updated on: August 21, 2009 at 8:26 am By Kate Cousino

When I was a child, my ambition was to be a concert pianist, or a singer, or maybe a psychologist. (Seriously. When I was 10, I wanted to be a psychologist. I was a weird 10 year old.) But pretty much from the age of 15, my ambition has been to be a stay at home mom, like my mother. These days, my ambitions all have to do with what kind of SAHM I want to be. There are sub-genres,... Read more

Life lessons

Last updated on: August 14, 2009 at 1:44 am By Kate Cousino

I mentioned in another post that my Handsome Husband has a new job. There’s a story (maybe 2 or 3) to this job, and a lesson. Maybe even an aphorism or two. 😉 Let’s start with a corny saying: “When life closes a door, God opens a window.” In this case, Handsome left his previous full time job early in the new year when a hip injury required him to avoid strenuous physical activity for a while. By the time... Read more

Every morning this week, no matter how poorly the day started, I have sipped my tea with the comforting thought, “well anyway, see how God loves me?” Which He does. Of course He does. But this week I’ve had a little extra proof of it with every cup of tea. You see, Liam started a new job last week. Which by itself is proof of God’s constant provision, and I’ll have to tell that story in another post. But the... Read more
