but it feels like a long time ago! It certainly doesn’t feel like I was on the beach less than 7 days ago… We had planned to do a little stay-cation this year, or possibly introduce Team Sublett to the wonders of tent-camping. There are some great State Parks near Read more…
Our newest son is turning out to be a baseball fan. That’s pretty good, because there are a few of us in the family. Levi knows more about the stats of current players and rosters of more teams than I do these days. The girls all love going to the Read more…
Amazingly, another page has turned. Annabelle Sublett is turning 12! “Is this the little girl I carried…” well, sort of. Although it took a good number of years before we finally got to call her family, she’s been in our hearts for ever, and we’d been dreaming of her for Read more…
Team Sublett headed to Altoona for part 2 of Pap’s birthday tonight. He’s just about the biggest Pirate baseball fan alive, so the most of the fam accompanied him to the Double A minor league affiliate Altoona Curve game. Because of our work with the State College Spikes over the Read more…
Our Pastor has been preaching through a series about the family for a few weeks now. Dan titled the series “Family Secrets,” which made most of us on staff think “ooh, time to drag out the skeletons from the family closets!” But in reality, Dan’s talking about the secrets to Read more…

if you can call it that…Levi rolled into the Waffle Shop (yummy) right as I was leaving there this morning. He was dressed as Captain America. Yep, mask and shield, full effect. He and his classmates strolled in around 10:45. I was on my way to claim Annabelle from her Read more…
Seriously, this kid has some sort of mojo going. It’s amazing to see. I was his wing-man for today’s “Countries of the World” presentation. He, being from Inner Mongolia, China, should have had the inside track to do a report on China, specifically Inner Mongolia, right? Nope. He did a Read more…
Yep, right on the heels of our Sadie turning 11. I walk into the house tonight to hear the male anatomy being discussed quite loudly, voices raised to carry from the living room to the kitchen. There is no hint of impropriety, no coloring of the cheeks, no hesitation. I Read more…
The description is a little hinky, I know. Sadie was the baby of our family for more than 10 years. She managed to hold on to that title through the first 3 adoptions, but Charlie snatched that claim away from her last summer. It’s hard to believe that she’s 11 Read more…
