Who Writes All This, Anyhow?

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.

Going Private

As of August 2010, posts about my kids are appearing at a new hidden blog for their privacy. If you would like to continue to be part of the inner workings of parenting these kids, you'll need to send an email to me a sznnchndlr at gmail dot com and I'll draw a map for you. It would be nice -- if you do follow me to the new blog -- that you promise to post lots of supportive comments.
