Having my kids home all day cracks me up. I mean literally, by 5:30, when my husband gets home, I’m a little cracked in the head. But I love it. I do. What do you do on the lazy days of Spring break? Well, for any parent who decides to stay home with the kiddos during their week off of school, these are definitely not lazy days. Duh, right? But it’s still fun. I cooked 3 meals yesterday. Do you think […]
» Read moreYa’ll. This boy! It’s like he’s good at everything I want to be good at. He leaves me with my mouth hanging wide open all the time. That little Daniel amazes me at every turn. I want to be just like him! Today I picked him up at school, and his teacher told me she thought he was getting sick. I waved it off. He’s still getting over this cold they had. “Mom,” he said, while he waited on the […]
» Read moreYES, I KNOW. It’s just too much cuteness. So today Daniel graduated from Pre-school. We are a low-drama family, I think. Okay, well, we are 5/6ths low drama, plus me. I bring the emotions, for sure. They started out the ceremony with this video of painting the nursery and the baby gradually getting bigger and bigger, and yes, I was crying. Daniel came strutting out like a rooster when they called his name. It was pretty hilarious, but then he […]
» Read moreI thought it was so exciting to participate in such a huge event! People come from all around the world to run in the Big Sur Marathon. But did you know? There’s also a half marathon, a 5K, and a 3K, that are all a part of it. Silly me. I volunteered to go at Daniel’s pace, so rest assured, there was no running for me. So why am I still so gosh darn proud of the Dan Man? Well, most […]
» Read moreHow cute are they, eating together at the picnic table? JD stole this show, but tonight let’s talk about Dan. Daniel, oh Daniel. The Dan Man This little booger is so precious. He makes us laugh and smile all day long, and I adore it. I’ve been writing down some things he has said lately, just for the blog: “Him want to go him house, Mom. This ours house, Mom?” *********** Me: “You just made bread, Daniel!!!” Dan: very serious: […]
» Read moreI have a ton of photos of beautiful places and precious people that we’ve seen here in Alabama and Georgia. It will take a while for me to get those photos all uploaded and cropped just how I like them, so check back in just a couple of days–maybe even tomorrow!! For now, let me tell you why I will never have a dog. Tonight I was giving Dan and JD their bath. I got JD out, dressed him, and […]
» Read moreThese videos crack me up. It’s just so Daniel. He’s “reading” a book about John Smith, the best leader that the Jamestown settlement had. He kept focusing on the photo of John Smith, wounded in the Indian camp. Daniel read it as, “Him dead. Him died. meh meh meh meh meh….” Perhaps a lot of what I say to Daniel is simply translated as something from Charlie Brown’s teacher. To get the full story, you ‘gotta’ watch both movies! 😉 […]
» Read moreFor this small moment in time, I am at my parents’ house, and it is completely quiet! Quiet!! This never happens. This is wonderful. All I hear is the hum of the air conditioning! The baby, who has had a “summer fever virus” for three days, is sleeping. (Last night was a nightmare!) I took him to the doctor today, just to make sure he doesn’t have an ear infection. Thankfully, he doesn’t. It cost me a small fortune to […]
