When I have graphic design projects to work on, the kids often enjoy playing kids’ games on Daddy’s computer while I work. Connor in particular likes to play (and is amazingly acclimated to the computer for only being 3!)
Yesterday, he followed me downstairs and when he saw me heading to the computer, (instead of the [...]

For some strange reason, this story just made me smile.

Tonight is the night that we look forward to all week while Nate’s teaching at the Academy. The kids and I will endure peanut butter and jelly just so we can allow room in our budget for this place.
Hands down, it’s Andy’s favorite place to eat in the whole world. It’s pretty high on my [...]

We’re outta here… again.
Remember our semi-annual trips to Honor Guard Camp? That’s this week again. I’ve pre-scheduled a few posts, but I hope to be back to full speed when we return. Don’t miss me too much!

I’m just going to bite the bullet and do it. I’m going to make an announcement.
“I must take a bloggy break!”
There… I said it.  See, we’re remodeling part of our basement to make a new bedroom. People are coming and going. The kids still need fed, school still needs done, laundry and dishes are still [...]

This year?
We’re dealing with morning sickness, potty training, flight training, teething, and a police officer’s overtime schedule.
*Sigh* I’m learning to accept the fact that [...]

Around here, today is a special day worthy of a special party.
We’re getting ready to make birthday cookies for Jesus. (The boys have had too much cake in recent weeks and are begging for cookies instead. I don’t think Jesus would be too disappointed, do you?)
From our house to yours, Merry Christmas!

Those of you who know us know that childbirth is almost an annual event around here. I’m not bragging. I know we’re incredibly blessed.
We thank God for the miracle of life each and every time. We know there are people who struggle and we pray for those people. We don’t take pregnancy for granted one [...]

I’m not trying to ignore you all. Really.
One of the reasons I started this blog was to keep the far-away grandparents happy with lots of photos of their grandchildren….
Anyone else out there in bloggy land having trouble with Wordpress and uploading photos?!
