Someone should illustrate this retelling of creation by Douglas Wilson.

Last weekend Nathanael went with some other men from our church and other local Presbyterian churches to Biloxi and Gulfport to assist First Presbyterian (PCA) of Biloxi and MNA with relief efforts. Jon Sutton II and Luke Brodersen both have written about the trip and Jon took some photos of the devestation. I’ll let N. give you his account.

Here is Evelyn’s first wintercoat.

For someone that does not know how to sufficiently hold her head up, Evelyn sure demands to be vertical quite a lot. Lately she will fuss until you balance her in a sitting position. Her little neck muscles are getting so strong. She got up at 4 am this morning and insanely cooed and played in our bed for about an hour. My eyes are so heavy.

Nathanael bought DSL so he can take some of his masters courses at home. It’s amazing how fast it is. The telephone and internet are available at the same time? Sort of like college or something like it.

Tonight we’re going over to Grandparents Metsker for dinner and to watch the lousy film adaptation of A.S. Byatt’s Possession. Nathanael read the book some months ago and I lent it to his grandmother last month. She really enjoyed it. When I am old, when I am old, I shall wear the bottoms of my dresses rolled and read books all day, drink tea and chardonnay, and lament that I no longer have babies demanding my time at all hours. And then roll my eyes at myself.

If you find the novel Ulysses taxing, you really should see the film.
