It has officially been three months since the move, and we are still adjusting to Georgia life. The other day we went outside, and Joshua said, “Hey! Mom! Look a snake!” That is not what you want to hear first thing in the morning. But then I saw it. “Is that a worm?” “No! Look how it moves!” Joshua insisted. “Yeah, yeah, you’re right, but that has to be a baby snake.” By that time, all the brothers had arrived. […]

John David is 3 years old, but he already knows that Christmas equals presents. He is also fully in love with Santa Clause, aka the King of Christmas. And in all fairness, who wouldn’t love a man who shows up once a year just to give you all the things you wanted???? Sign me up for that!

Many people develop heart problems while they are still young, but trust me, I’ve sat in the cardiology waiting room enough to know that I am nowhere near the average age. Most people in there have a walker and an accompanying nurse. In fact, the receptionists sometimes assume that I’m there with an elderly patient that I walked in after. “Wait.

Joshua broke his arm Saturday, and it will be re-cast this week. That means we will have to manage……dumdumdum……the health insurance circus. How many hoops can we make this lady go through? They are the best at that. JD threw up […]
» Read moreDid the first week of school hit any of you as hard as it did us? Phew! I do want to say thank you for your prayers. By Friday morning, I felt like I was myself again. That battle is finished, and I can’t tell you how much your prayers and letters of encouragement meant to me. Now it’s on to the next thing, right? My mom has arrived, and she is downstairs taking care of JD and Daniel for […]
» Read moreLast month we were on vacation, staying at my parent’s house, aka Nana and Granddaddy. Nana’s table requires a tablecloth. Not a big deal, right? Not unless the Dan Man is eating at that table. In his defense, he probably wasn’t the only one; it just seemed like it was usually him. Poor Nana. I am not even kidding when I tell you that Dan was spilling drinks about three times a day. I went to the store and bought […]
