Mud Puddles, Snow and Worms

Who taught Silas to kiss obscure things?  Was it me?  Was I thinking about his lips meeting the muddle puddle today as he bent down to give the beloved thing a kiss?  Or the worm that I dug up for him that got a sloppy one as well? There’s nothing much better than watching your… Continue reading Mud Puddles, Snow and Worms

Brothers

You know, there’s something I’ve really been taking delight in lately. It’s the bond that Silas and Isaac are forming. It’s how much they actually care for each other. It’s such a beautiful sight. Silas has been a great big brother thus far. He accepted Isaac into our home and seemed to somehow (primal instinct?)… Continue reading Brothers

Why I Blog

Ever since I was a little girl I journaled. I have a bunch of books in storage that document my life. After getting married, my journaling slowed down. I think it’s because I used to journal before going to bed and now I have someone there with me, didn’t seem like a private enough place… Continue reading Why I Blog

Ikey, We Need to Talk.

My Darling Isaac, You and I have been through a lot together these past 8 months.  We’ve had a successful 8 months of nursing but it hasn’t come without consequence.  At first you’d just want to nurse for hours on end.  I didn’t know when to stop it, you just kept sucking and sucking.  Then… Continue reading Ikey, We Need to Talk.

Mission Statement

Recently I thought it would be a good idea to write down my mission statement as a mother.  Churches and companies do it so, seeing that I have the most important job in the world, I thought I’d write one of my own.  I encourage you to write your own, print it, and post it… Continue reading Mission Statement

Time Flies

Mmmmm, my body is full of that wonderful warm feeling that I get when I smooch my Silas all over.  I was just laying in his crib with him trying to get him calm enough to nap for a while.  I love cuddling up with him.  It doesn’t sound like he’s going to nap though,… Continue reading Time Flies

Weird Children.

Praise the Lord God Almighty!! It’s nap time!! This morning has been a bit wacky. Ikey woke up an hour early (again) and was trying to ruin Silas’ and my morning routine.

Debt Rantings

You know that sick feeling that you get when you’re worried about money?  I have that in my stomach right now.  It’s awful.  I don’t understand why we all do it to ourselves.  Why do we live beyond our means.  Whenever Brent and I are dumb and doing that we’re not being smart and checking… Continue reading Debt Rantings
