We found this the other day. Hey, he fully understands what to do with shaving cream, I will say that for him. Just for the record: I was out walking, and I left Alan in charge, so this one wasn’t my fault. Speaking of ‘in charge’, I will never, ever leave Daniel “in charge” again. I often tell Joshua or Caleb they are ‘in charge’ of the others while I take a shower or run outside to check the […]
» Read moreI’ve written gobs of blog posts where I’m really bad about never going back and letting you know how that all turned out. This is my goal for tonight: lots of updates!! Update #1: The Great Clean Out inspired by reading Money Saving Mom‘s book: It’s sort of an odd time to suddenly be all about organizing my house: we are moving in JUNE. However, we are drowning in TMS–too much stuff–so I have been plugging away at “The […]

If you read my last post, Our Vacation Nightmare, then you know that this wasn’t our best week. Now it’s Friday night, and as I sit here, with Alan beside me, and all of our children sleeping soundly, none of that even matters anymore. I love it when we sit and talk about all the cute and funny things our children have done lately. And whose heart wouldn’t melt from having little almost-three-years old Dan keep visiting my room, after […]
» Read moreI have had so little rest and even less actual sleep the past…5 or 6 days that it’s affecting my ability to function. Remember my attitude adjustment that I mentioned in a previous post? (Just click on those words for a reminder.) Well, I haven’t forgotten my lesson yet. I haven’t lost my thankful heart. Once again, my problems are direct results of my blessings: 1. 4 little boys 2. a very very very very busy weekend of fun activities with […]
» Read moreWelcome!!!! I’m almost finished converting to WordPress for blog hosting and the new name!!! That’s really the whole reason I’m doing all of this was to get my own name and drop the whole “blogspot.com” bit. I definitely like this better! I will have the pages at the top all finished up soon. Meanwhile, I want to say THANK YOU for following me from the old web address to the new one. Pretty please, pause a moment and leave yourself […]
» Read moreIsn’t he precious? When he’s sweet, he’s Dr. John David……but then when you least expect it, he instantly transforms into Mr. Bobby…purple baby crying, and you’d better act fast. When I say my “new job”, don’t panic, thinking, “She could not possibly handle any new jobs right now.” Well, you’re right anyway, I can’t. I don’t really mean that kind of job though. I’m actually referring to the adjustment to school starting back. I have figured out why […]

Today was the fifth day after the birth. John David is still seriously sweet, and we are all so excited about him. Giving birth is such a strange adventure. It’s so weird how each time is a little different too. This has been a crazy week. Here are a few highlights from all the “postpartum” fun: #1. All morning I had a headache, and I couldn’t figure out how this could be. Hello? I’m taking 800 mg of ibuprofen, […]
» Read moreToday I was at the Walmart check-out line, beginning to consider buying a Kit-Kat bar…..when suddenly I heard from behind me, “Excuse me. Are you having twins?” : / I turned around to see a little old lady, and there was really no where to run and hide, and yet my ability to smile at such suggestions has just left me completely. I told her, with no smile whatsoever, “No. I am just at […]
» Read moreholding Daniel the very first time. I was so happy to finally see my baby, as it had been a few hours since the birth. But I was in SO much pain, and my head was so fuzzy from the morphine that I was still rather out of it. (And oh, yeah with 2/3 of my deliveries, I swelled really bad, as you can see in my face. What’s up with that? My blood pressure was not high–you can see […]
» Read moreDaniel, watching the Nats vs. Pirates game. He was copying the way the runners slid to the base….over and over again, which we thought was just adorable! Roll Tide, ya’ll!!! It is finally Friday!! Boy, could I use a weekend. Naturally, this weekend will be jam packed with activities, but the psychology of it all is half the battle, right? ******Pregnancy Update******* This is my 33rd week of pregnancy (which means I am 32 weeks pregnant), […]
