Happy Mother's Day to all of You!This morning as I got up @ 4:50 am... with a sick 19 month old and tried to comfort him in his pain of an upset stomach and such, I realized something. Well I didn't realize it until about a half hour ago. I feel the Holy Spirit challenging me even at this moment as I share my struggle with you. We as moms have a very special role [...]
Well the time has come and gone... and with much success the chicks are now acclimated to their new and improved (thanks honey) chicken coop! The weekend before last was our first attempt at getting the chicks outside. What a fiasco! You should have seen us! Or rather me... I spent a good 45 minutes, at least, "chasing" and I do mean chasing those chicks around the hen house trying to gather them up and [...]
Austin is our second son. He is about to turn five in about 2 weeks and over the course of his life he has been the more timid as well as introverted one of all the kids. He is the sweetest boy! Obeys immediately (most of the time), has the heart to please and has such a compassionate and empathetic heart. I have wanted to dedicate a post to him for a while now and [...]
Kelsey has been doing swim lessons nearly all year and having a great time. She was born with a under developed trachia which causes here to have difficulty breathing when she exerts herself in constant exercise. It is nothing too serious... she has an inhaler just like kids who have been disgnosed with asthma to open her air way. At the beginning of the year her instructor was very concerned by the breathing "noises" she [...]
My son Drew is known around here for his comedic as well as mega dramatic personality. Everyday he does something new... I just love this age! It is the hardest and yet the most fun b/c they are so stinkin' cute! Drew is notorious around our house for wearing everyone elses shoes... all day long... I am not even exagerating. He would wear Austin's shoes to bed if I let him.Here are some funnies of [...]
Yesterday Kelsey had her first Piano Recital. She has been taking lessons for three years now and it is so fun and rewarding to watch her be able to confidently play well. She played three pieces. "Palomino, Minuet, and Cat & Mouse." I was so proud!We went through the phase this year of her not "wanting" to play anymore. I told her that I wish I had learned how to play and that most people [...]

Today at Bible Study we watched the last 2 DVDs of Mark Gungor's "Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage." It was hallarious! I am telling you I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!I have heard a lot of talks and seminars on marriage and sex... I have to say that this was the most enjoyable and educational. He is a pastor with the heart to see marriages not just survive, but instead [...]
