Christmas hinties

So, you want to buy us truckloads of Christmas presents? Here is what we would coo over:

My Gift from a Generous God says "no clothes. I hate getting clothes for Christmas." Who knew? He's so polite that he had us all fooled: whoops! He says he would love to go shopping at Manna Music for music toys or Hardware Sales for tool toys or Red Wing for new work boots.

The kids would love art classes at Pace Atelier or Launching Success gift cards and there are many book ideas on our Amazon WishList (the immersion blender kind of snuck onto the kids' list -- odd, huh?). Chickadee needs gift certificates for gymnastics classes (we are getting her a tumbling mat) and Dandy would love anything from K'NEX (already dibbed).

Me? I like iTunes and e.l.f. and LUSH bubble bars -- any bubble bar. There is no such thing as a unwanted bubble bar in this house.

Of course, we'd be just as pleased if you skipped all that and just gave a World Vision goat.

me! me! me!


Here I chatter about books, parenting, election 2008, recipes, teaching college writing, and the adventures of getting settled in with our two freshly (Fall 06) adopted school-age children from Russia. This blog is chapter two; chapter one is posted at Jamie & Suzanne go to Russia. I live in the City of Subdued Excitement, Cascadia, Land of the Free.

I am the wife of a man I call My Gift from a Generous God. I am mama to two lovely children, Dandy and Chickadee that became ours in September 2006 in a court-room in Siberia. I am the daughter of two people whom I love and admire. One of them, my dad, is a new (Dec 06) paraplegic.

In my previous life (B.C. - before children), I was a college English teacher, specializing in composition and ESL composition.
