Around the House

A random collection of happenings around the Jones Place.


There's a similar picture of me at the same age, only I'm writing in a book with a pen. Daphne is of the new high-tech generation: she's got the dana.



Addie is my eager kitchen helper... um, sometimes I try to sneak into the kitchen to work without being noticed. But she's at the point now that she actually does help get things done faster. Here she's helping make Spice Chicken.





What lengths a little boy is pushed to when the computer won't work right! Stuart likes Scrabble, as long as he can spell words like "Quimzee" on Triple Letter Squares.






When Aunt Lindsay came to save the household from chaos after Darren's surgery, this is one way she ministered. Daphne still talks about how Aunt Winsey Painted Toes.



Well, this should shatter your rosy images of how great a house-husband Darren is. Here's photographic evidence that he just sits around with a bottle in his hand. Except he's reading because we don't have TV, and it's root beer, which really takes the edge off the whole concept.



Daphne offers Darren an upgrade in his bottle-drinking habits.

Very funny!

I have given you and kind of cheesy award at my blog. It's in fun, so do not feel obligated or in anyway like you have to take it seriously. Thank you for allowing us to keep up with the Joneses.

One morning in our church's preschool Sunday School class the missionaries to be prayed for worked with a group of people where alcoholism is a significant problem.

"My daddy drinks too much beer, too," volunteered one of the elders' daughter.

"No, he doesn't," the teacher replied.

"Yes, he does," the girl insisted, "Sometimes he drinks TWO WHOLE root beers at a time!"

Sara, Addie is a mirror image of her mother! Amazing. Your kids are adorable and look like their habits as well as their features take after their parents.

She must love her daddy to share her bottle, we both know Daph isn't that into sharing. :-)
