On Tuesday, my last baby was delivered. I say last, because, unless God does a miracle, this will be the last baby I grow inside of me. Baby boy (still working on a nickname) was welcomed into the world by me, Racer, Blue, Professor, Girlie, Gorilla, my parents, Racer’s mother and grandmother. He is alreadyContinue reading “A Baby Story”

Prayer for my Baby
Heavenly Father- Today is the day, you have made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!! Today is the day, you have chosen for my baby to join the world! And even though we will meet this baby for the first time, you already know the number of hairs on his head today andContinue reading “Prayer for my Baby”
Nervous Energy
It’s getting close to baby day. Family is in town, the nursery is ready, my bag is almost totally packed. It’s getting close. I’m nervous. Not about the baby, but about so many other things. About my home: I’ve never been a clean fanatic, so it’s not the cleanliness I get nervous about. It’s theContinue reading “Nervous Energy”
My 2010 Top Ten
If you remember this post, during the month of November, I am sharing one thing each day that I am thankful for (via Facebook). Today, you are lucky. Instead of sharing just one thing, I am sharing ten things I am thankful for. Well, not things exactly, but people instead. Please know that these peopleContinue reading “My 2010 Top Ten”
Lovely Baby Shower
A couple of days ago, I was the recipient of a lovely baby shower. The church my family attends was the host. When I was asked if they could throw a shower for us, I was really surprised! It’s our 5th child, we have sooooo much we’ve saved and we have only been attending for aboutContinue reading “Lovely Baby Shower”
Apple Extra Crisp
I’ve been buying a lot of apples lately. Not really sure why; I suppose it’s because they actually get eaten and they’ve been on sale soooo… in the cart they go. Anyway, I decided to make some apple crisp the other day with Girlie’s help. I busted out my trusty Better Homes and Garden CookContinue reading “Apple Extra Crisp”
Lessons from the Ugly Brown Couch
This past week, there has been great discussion amongst my friends about what I refer to as the “ugly brown couch.” Really, it is ugly. I’m not sure that it has ever really “seen better days,” but Racer says that it has. This is my understanding of the story of our couch. The couch was pulledContinue reading “Lessons from the Ugly Brown Couch”
November Thankfulness
November is a time when so many people really think about being thankful. Thankful for what they have, thankful for family, thankful for friends, thankful for health. I’ve heard of families who put up a “thankful tree” each year where everyday, the family members decorate a leaf with what they are thankful for and byContinue reading “November Thankfulness”
It’s Monday Morning
I woke up EARLY today – really, sane people should not be awake that early – and couldn’t really go back to sleep. In the grand scheme of life, I know it’s not that early, but it’s early for me. Anyway, Professor (the EARLY bird of the family), I found out later, had already beenContinue reading “It’s Monday Morning”
God is Good
I am not usually at a loss for words. If you know me in person, you know that. I have a thought/comment/idea/opinion about EVERYTHING!! In social situations, this skill comes in handy; I can have a conversation with just about anyone, anywhere. I fully recognize that it can also be an annoying trait of mine. Continue reading “God is Good”
