There have been stttrrrrannnggeee happenings in my house as of late. What started of with me getting a bout of OCD when it came to cleanliness (which has now found some balance) has turned into a lot more. Of course I’ve been exercising and eating well despite the fact that losing one pound takes a […]
Making a Person

There have been many people that have witnessed me saying that there’s no way I would ever ever ever have a baby again. There’s also been blogs about how I feel like I can’t because Silas took up so much of our lives and that I was scared we would make someone else with autism. […]
Sleeping Babies

I often find myself in my kid’s rooms every night, staring at their faces, trying to kiss them and smell them as much as possible without waking them up. There’s nothing as adorable as a sleeping child so I try to somehow embed their image in my mind so I can remember it later. The […]

Silas the great was “swimmen in da pool” the other day at the Hotel. Brent’s parents were here and we always love to take advantage of a quiet pool and the extra hands available and get the boys in the water. They sure love it. A few weeks ago Silas was really tentative about swimming […]

MY HUSBAND! For the best valentines day gift ever. What is it you ask? It’s the new Dirt Devil Kone hand vacuum cleaner. How romantic hey? I had to poke, I had to prod, I had to remind but I made my romance happen and my floors clean at the same time. This stemmed […]

Last night Brent and I had our Valentines date. We did it a day late just because I didn’t feel like dealing with busy restaurants. It’s better this way. Anyway, we went to this local place and had a really fantastic waitress, she was hilarious. We got some stuff mushroom caps for a starter and […]
A Mother’s Love

I get this feeling every night as I sneak into my children’s room and tuck them in while they sleep. I feel completely and totally vulnerable. For some reason seeing my sleeping children remind me of how delicate they are, how easily they could slip from my fingers. My hear suddenly fills with this feeling […]

K yesterday’s post was a floppy flop. Go ask some questions!! I might go on strike because no one loves me! What a morning I had. I must admit, I was not a very good mommy this morning. I get SO frustrated that I can’t even see straight. It all started with Silas stomping on […]

How Brent and I began Brent and I didn’t have sparks the first time we met. In fact, I don’t remember how we met exactly but I know it involved a picnic table. It was my first year of Bible College, I had come and left my boyfriend (Nathan), who I had every intention of […]

Wow, Silas’ birthday party is next week!! I’m so excited. It’s just going to be very small this year, just family pretty much. I can’t handle a crowd, I just don’t wanna. But feel free to still buy him pressies or send money…ha ha!! It’s been slightly exhausting trying to avoid wheat, oats, milk and […]

Bye Bye Fuzzies

I have warm fuzzies floating under my skin. I just cuddled in bed with Silas in hopes of him calming down and getting some nap time. He listens to this lullaby CD and I don’t know all the songs. He wants me to sing along so I just make things up like “Silas go to […]
