Doesn’t really sound like a post for this time of year, does it? Unless of course you are a 10-week old baby girl who is starting to discover the world around her… Let me back up a little… My MIL returned home this morning after being with us for the last week and half visiting…
WW – Christmas Past
Before Tim and I had children of our own, we enjoyed holidays and other family times with our nieces and nephews (mostly on my side, since they lived the closest). My brothers have 8 children amongst them and the oldest is now 18. Christmas was always fun to watch them open their gifts and to…
Displaced
It’s been over 5 months since we left Texas. Five months to find a new place for Chinese take out (it took ALMOST THAT long). Five months to find a church we like (but not nearly as much as our previous one). Five months of meeting new people and finding our way around town. We’re…
He Ran Out to Get What Could Be Our 500th Tube Since We Got Married
We put the Christmas tree up on Saturday. We (meaning I) kept it pretty simple this year and didn’t even put EVERY.SINGLE ornament on the tree. Since our entire living room is 18 inch tiles I bought a VERY large piece of felt to put under the tree and am hoping (and praying) that it…
PSF – My Plan, Thwarted
Last night I walked into the boys’ closet wondering what pajamas I could put on Little G. I spotted some “footie” jammies and looked at the size and saw 24 months. “Aw, these should work,” I thought. I was happy to put them on him because then he would not be able to reach down…
WW – Two Months
Two months since your eyes first met mine. Two months since I first heard you cry. Two months since I first touched your tiny toes. Two months since I first kissed your little nose. Two months since you first came into my life Two months that I’ve been on this mommy/daughter ‘high’ Two months since…
WW – Bathing Beauty
I am keeping this one fairly “wordless”. But not completely of course! What do you think this is anyway, silent-ville? PSHAW! The day I’m truly wordless is the day that pigs fly and H.E.double-hockey-sticks freezes over. See? I just CAN’T do it. Anywho, this baby is most happy when she’s getting clean. I have a…
Laughter That Makes Tea Come Out of Your Nose
As we approach the holidays I’ve been thinking about my family. And when I say “my family” I mean my parents and my brothers. The people I grew up with, the ones who raised me and that I was raised with. I cried like a child earlier at the preview episode of the show Find…
Is There a Two and Half Year Old in Da House?
Oh Good Golly IS there! And this particular one is QUITE a handful these days. I think even he would admit it. Many times when we address him in a stern way he replies “YesSir!” to all of us. Meaning Me, Tim AND The B Man. He’s frequently in time out lately for hitting, kicking…
PSF – Prettier Picture – UPDATED*
I can be kind of sensitive at times. Perhaps it’s because I grew up with three older brothers that “messed” with me on occasion. Or maybe it’s just part of who I am no matter what. I’ve NEVER gotten and snarky or rude comments on my blog before. EVER. And I still haven’t (knock on…
