On this the last day of 2008 there's not much to say but, "wow". A lot has happened, but nothing big to report. In fact a lot has stayed the same. We are still in the same house and...
It seems that our upgrade to MTOS 4.21 caused some trouble with comments. Many users were seeing the following error:
Invalid request: corrupt character data for character set UTF-8
when trying to post comments. I believe that we have resolved...

Thanks for your patience.
UPDATE

Greeting Terrabloggers.
The scheduled upgrade from MT 2.6 to MTOS 4.1 will be underway shortly. During that time you will not be able to create/modify posts or make comments on any Terrablog.
We apologize for the inconvenience...
Just a little something to let you know we still exist. Here's a little Analeasa, a little desert, and Oriel making a fun face talking to one of her favorite Hippie friends. More Spring 2008...
Fellow Terrabloggers, our long sojourn in the blogging desert of MT 2.6x is coming to a close. On the weekend of the 6-8th of June we will be upgrading the Terrablogs domains to Moveable Type Open Source version 4.
MTOS...
I (Levi) was looking for a good place to shoot our family photo for the Church bulletin board and he traipsed Analeasa all around the house posing her here and there to check the lighting. When they got upstairs,...
Levi was commenting on the way down the mountain today that next Sunday, the brown, dead trees would probably be all green with newly budding leaves. Analeasa got all excited and said that was Resurrection Sunday, and that the...
If you have no time pressures, Christmas is a great time to be in the kitchen with your child. I personally enjoy making things with Analeasa because she is so interested and wants to help with everything. This was an...
Levi got this gift for Analeasa in July last year and I tortured him and made him wait for a real reason to give it to her. This was very hard for him as he has difficulty waiting to give...
So the other day Levi mentioned the title or name or whatever it is that my blog is called. Oriel's house of fluffy pancakes. what does that mean anyway? and so, he said that people probably think...
On why she loves Grama's letters Sparkly pen! Wow! Woooo! I like this very much, this sparkly pen!" This birthday letter came written in pink VERY sparkly pen. 2.14.08 On what I'd like to do, now that I'm all the way 5: Learn guitar,...
I/we were again blessed this year with a birthday illness. This year's was way WAY WAY nicer. The morning after her birthday Analeasa woke me up an hour early and I promptly scooped her and whispered that it wasn't time...
Yes, I have finally succumbed. Actually, I gave in before she was born, telling Levi that if he kept saying that, "we are not having a Valentine's baby!" we were sure to have one, if I know anything about God's...
I asked Analeasa to go get a coat on cuz we're gonna be late to church again. A couple minutes later she was asking, "I'm ready, can I go outside?" Levi took the last few minutes while I was finishing...
I was all excited to be able to document this. I got on the scale the other day, which I don't do very often at all (you have to understand, I have the same fear as other folks, only in...
So, I always know that as soon as God teaches you something in your head/heart, He gives you an opportunity (or usually several to make sure you get it good and solid in there) to apply it. But when pastor...
Analeasa has a huge fascination with snow, and rain too for that matter, mostly cuz she's not really gotten to see a real snow in all her almost 5 years. This year Levi was so kind as to humor her...
They say life imitates art, and sometimes life imitates itself in funny ways, and sometimes it's a humbling moment. The vivid truth of my daughter following in my footsteps, demonstrated in her penchant for stowing her shoes in mine,...
On life and vocab, both difficult: I'm not fussing, I'm just having a greatly discovering hardness. 12.27.07 On the mysteries of life: Mother, do you see all these hairs on my arm? I don't know what they're from. 12.29.07 On refills and love: Mother: I...
This is a delightful arrangement of an old Christmas classic. A little non-traditional, perhaps irreverent, but very entertaining, and impressive nonetheless. We are enjoying celebrating the 12 days of Christmas, which gives us the means to stretch out our Advent...
Mother, Santa Claus is taking over the whole world, and Walmart... just like that Dora, and Spongebob!Ӕ So, for the newsletter youŒre not really gonna read this, are you? Nobody really reads these things, they just skim, right? ...
Year in review - 2007 There are folks out there who take really good pictures and then there's me. But I really have no excuse, I have a great camera and actually learned the basics of photography from the best professional...
On the knowledge of Good and Evil: If there was a team of good guys and bad guys, I would be in the good guy case. 8.19.07 On Medicine: No - kisses don't make anything better. Uncle Ian has magic kisses,...
This morning we rolled out a significant change to the manner in which Terrablogs handles blog indexing on the blog portals. People were very excited when we added the ability to index any RSS enabled blog, and today we effectively...
Ok. I was going to have updated by now, but then there is the whole issue of resizing my images which seems to be a problem with my three programs. You see, I know what I want, but inevitably...
So, this is Christmas. But you'd never know it from my mailbox. First of all, I haven't put much in the way of Holiday greetings in there. I am a major slacker when it comes to the common traditions. E-greetings are...
This year has been busy enough for me to have forgotten the first part of it completely. I guess it was spent wrapping up construction on the house so we could put it on the market. Oh, and Analeasa turned...
"Maybe Someday if I had a husband, he could wear a size big shoes, like Father." 8.24.06 "Mother. I wish God would send us an airplane to be our car." 11.09.06 Analeasa: I'm gonna be sad because when I grow up, I'll...
So, I really don't have time to do this, but I did anyway. It was great though. She didn't like it at first, but then she loved it. I was trying to see if I could get her some more...
Here are a few of my thanks right now. Analeasa playing dress-up with her windbreakers on and the neighbor cutie a year younger than she. Thank you Abi for handing down that big pile of princess attire. Another reminder of how...
