She’s Here!

We made it through shopping, wrapping & performances.  We made through Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We even made it through Christmas at my mom’s the day after.  However, at about 4:45am on Bill’s birthday (the 27th), labor pains started and did not go away.  We got to the hospital around 7 and at 1:14pm, [...]

Christmas Kittens

If you are looking for THE gift for your kids or know someone who is, we’ve got them and they’re free.  They are  very kid-tolerant, litter trained, and lots of fun.  They are three months old now, so they’re more like teen kits, but still pass for kittens.  We have four – three girls and [...]

Cereal for Dinner

Well, we did get almost all of the wrapping done yesterday.  My mom has the week off and she came and took the kids to Chuck E. Cheese for the afternoon, which allowed us to pull everything out and get it wrapped in peace   Yes, she is a brave woman. 
When they came home, [...]

Still Here

I saw the midwife yesterday and I was a good 3, almost 4 cm.  She said conditions were favorable.   Well, we thought we might have some action last night, but the contractions went away   So I am still waiting.  Everyone tells me to walk her out, but I have been walking so much, I think I’ll [...]

This and that

Last night while I was out, Bill and Katelyn got B.I.F.ed.  (Bless it Forwarded) The suspects, dressed in camo, rang the bell and left a cute little goody bag for us with a note.  I don’t know who did it, but based on some intel I possess, I have my suspicions.  All I have to say is [...]

Christmas Mission

I am on a mission.  Since I was a teenager, I’ve collected Christmas albums.  Then, of course, they were on tape   Every year I would add one or two.  I have slowed down the last couple of years because I have so many and because I got an iPod last year and I [...]

In response (Santa vs. Jesus)

This post is in response to Kendra’s post about Santa vs. Jesus round 1.  I started to respond on her blog, but it got a little lengthy, so I thought I would do so here.  You can click Kendra’s blog to read hers and then come back here  
 It’s amazing how similar our experience has been [...]

Let it snow

I decided to change my template to something more festive for a few weeks.  It’s probably the only snow we’ll see   I pray we have one great snowfall this year so the kids can play outside in it.  The last one we had, Katelyn was the only one who was really old enough to remember it.  [...]

Great gift for toddlers

Let me start by saying that I don’t advocate parking kids in front of the TV as a babysitter on a regular basis.   However, when you have an active toddler and you get to that part of the day around 4 or 5 when naptime is a distant memory and bedtime is a ways away, [...]
