altogether now! “Friends are friends forever…”

Sonya and Monica met 18 years ago.  They were rebellious.  One of them was not a Christian.  Now, 18 years and 7.5 children later, they both love and serve the Lord, stay in touch, and even their children have grown to love each other.  Even though they live 5 hours apart.  Maybe Michael W. Smith [...]

our first abode

Posted in Nostalgia (don't go there much) on December 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »

After church yesterday, Sonya and I drove by our first apartment.

A one-room, garage apartment behind Ms. Eddie’s house.  Lot’s of memories there.  Can you believe that we had a queen-sized bed, armoire, love seat, t.v., dinner table, chest-of-drawers and piano in that place?  It was $150/month including gas and water.  I wish our living expenses [...]

morning surprise

Posted in Children, Worship on December 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

We awoke this morning to a little surprise.

Emma had her aunt Cyndy cut her hair to shoulder length!  She’s been wanting to do that for several years but I just couldn’t imagine her without her hair down her back.  Well, this was the best way for it to happen.  I was a little shocked at [...]

I edited a nice movie with pictures and video from our entire Christmas season.  For some reason it won’t load to You Tube.  So…here are some highlights:
Christmas morning at the Crisman house…

Kate singing Jingle Bells with her new keyboard and mic…

It was a great day.  If I [...]

making stuff for Christmas

Posted in Children, Christmas, family on December 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I must say, yesterday was one of the best days we’ve had in the Crisman family.  Yesterday afternoon Victoria, Emma and I made these cookies.

They are Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies.  And they are delicious, even if I do say so myself! Have I ever told you that I like chocolate?
Then we [...]

the curious case of Kate Crisman

Posted in Children on December 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I’m sure she has multiple personality disorder.  But so do most two-year olds.  Here she is singing Jingle Bells (sorry for the soft audio):

And here she is throwing a tantrum in the car.  This tantrum, now at a low point, lasted from Birmingham to Prattville (45 minutes).  Nice.

as promised…

pictures of the sweets from Saturday.

Lot’s of homemade chocolate treats.  But the best was yet to come.

This is a chocolate pie my mom made.  It was like dark, rich fudge covered in homemade chocolate whipped cream, sprinkled with chocolate shavings.  I was in chocolate heaven.  It was the richest dessert I’ve eaten in years and [...]

it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

We have had something everyday for the last three weeks.  It’s Christmastime again.  I can’t wait for Christmas Day, for many reasons.  One of them is that I am off for the next week.  We finally stop moving, doing, going.  We just stop.  My mind needs it.
Today, we are off to Prattville (Emma likes to [...]
