Heading into the Weekend

Ah, Saturday! A day of rest and relaxation, right? The weekend is here and there is nothing to do, right? Well, not for me. It's gonna be a pretty busy weekend. This week was full of events for our family. Big changes and some stress (no need to talk about my wallet anymore!). The biggest … Continue reading Heading into the Weekend →

We’ve Gone to the Dogs!

We've talked about getting a dog for some time. Sam has always wanted a dog, but there were so many things that we needed to do first. We don't have a fully fenced in yard, for example. We also were concerned with how the dog would react to the kids - not to mention our … Continue reading We’ve Gone to the Dogs! →

Spring Scooter!

Ok, not THAT Scooter! Sam went to the store today and saw that the had scooters on sale. These were the ones with two wheels in the front. She couldn't pass up the deal and grabbed one for each kid.

Spring Is For Splashing!

We have had a lot of rain over the past couple days. It has rained so much that the small city park near us was completely flooded! While I slept today, Sam said there was torrential rains.

They were able to get us in to the doctor, who says the eardrum has … Continue reading Do You Ear What I Ear? →

This Looks Like a Job For …

I could have used Bob the Builder or Handy Manny today! I would have settled for Tim the Toolman Taylor! Sam bought a climber/triangle/something or other for the kids and it arrived today. I figured it would be an easy thing to put together, especially since the reviews said so. Then, I opened the box … Continue reading This Looks Like a Job For … →

Ella Being Honest – and Funny!

I truly need to organize the funny things that Ella says (and funny stories in general) and keep them in a book. Here are just a couple examples: Sam was getting the kids ready for bed this week. She was trying to get them in the bathroom to brush their teeth. The following conversation takes … Continue reading Ella Being Honest – and Funny! →

Steak, Paint & Bunnies

Our wedding anniversary was this past Sunday. Five years! Sam had to work Sunday, and we had both taken a day off to celebrate. She took Monday off and I took yesterday.

Trying to Unblock Writer’s Block

I've been struggling to write. I'm sure it is because I have had a lot of things on my mind over the past couple weeks. The things on my mind are not necessarily things I want to write about. It's hard to be in this place. I'm still struggling to get through it, and pray … Continue reading Trying to Unblock Writer’s Block →
