Happy Anniversary, Nana & Poppy!
Today my parents have been married for 36 years! Whew.
Switching gears a bit, I thought I’d relieve everyone by letting them know that it seems my little snake friend has moved on. Perhaps he’s afraid I’d run him over with the lawn mower? (Sorry, PETA. I would have done [...]
… Father’s Day to the King of the Multi-taskers.
For those of you who’ve never met my husband, this photo depicts him perfectly… except he should be teaching someone to fly a helicopter, writing someone a ticket, changing a diaper, giving a dog commands in German, leading an Honor Guard, singing a special at church, buckling [...]
As a teenager and college student, one of my favorite Bible passages was Psalm 37:4-5:
Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
I remember having all of these wants, but desperately wanting [...]
Andy was having T-ball practice the other day and he made an exceptionally good play. (Since he’s just turned five in December, I’m amazed at his instincts. He fields the ball and knows to tag first, etc.) I know it was just practice, but I cheered.
Yeah, I’m a proud mama. I try to suppress it, [...]
My husband is a goofball. It’s true. I love him because of it, not in spite of it. He cracks me up. He’s one of the few people in the world that has a twisted sense of humor as whacky as mine.
Last night, he was channel surfing and stopped on a PBS documentary about the [...]
My husband sleeps like a rock. I really think a tornado could hit our house and he’d sleep right through it. Don’t believe me? When he works the midnight shift, he sleeps during the day while three rowdy boys and one screaming baby girl get shushed by their loud mommy. He never hears a thing.
Last [...]
My husband knows me well. He knows what I like on my sandwiches, what time I generally wake up, when I need some “Mommy time” in “the Bahamas,” when contractions are real just by looking at my face, and that I’m generally more practical than frivolous. (Reasons #507-511 I love my husband.)
Last night, he did the [...]
I’ve written before about how any one of our sons will willingly volunteer that “Daddy is my hero!” Tonight, I got further proof of that fact.
Brady sweetly asked me, “Mommy, am I very, very strong?”
“Sure, honey. You’re strong,” I said.
“Just like Daddy and Superman?”
Um, sure… cause Daddy is more powerful than a locomotive and can [...]
My poor Brady is allergic to birthdays. Strange diagnosis, I know.
Last January, when he turned three, he got sick repeatedly, all evening long. Today is Nate’s birthday, and just after we put the boys to bed, Andy came in our room and said, “Brady’s chest hurts.”
Now, Brady is not one to complain. His aforementioned brother could [...]
The most handsome, wonderful man is 30 today. (Be sure to leave him a birthday wish, because even though he never comments, he does read them. )
Happy Birthday, Nathan! I love you oodles.
I was going to list 30 things I love about you, but I figured why limit myself?
love,
me
