Gingerbread 2007

Here’s a short clip of our son Brett & his friend Mitch on TV! They actually won the Nat’l Gingerbread Contest – Jr. Division for 2007!

Here is a link to their website that tells and shows all about how they did it.

A Brave New World..

Mark Garland said I should start a blog. And so I have. I chose the ‘Garland’ theme in his honor. Actually, this whole post-it-for-the-world to see is a bit scary to me. That might surprise you if you know me at all because I am a quite-out-there kind of girl. I don’t hold back much. Actually less than I probably should. Oh well. God created us all differently and hopefully that can be a plus in my favor. I guess what scares me is that my thoughts will actually be written down instead of out in the air for a few seconds. Perhaps that will be a good thing and help me to think things through a bit more – even before I say them. I used to be pretty tech savvy before kids. It’s hard to keep up when little people demand your time and attention. Don’t get me wrong, they are well worth the sacrifice. I’m not sure that I will ever be as ‘techie’ as I once was but I will keep trying out new things – like blogging…
