I will never forget this day, and what it represents. I became a mother for the first time, twelve years ago today. I was very far from home, with no family around. The nurses had kept her on a warming table for the first four hours after she was born, because her temperature wouldn’t stay …
My sweet Mitchell is nine years old!! Halfway to 18! I can’t believe that. Wasn’t it just yesterday that I brought him home from the hospital and oooed and ahhhed over him while he slept? Wasn’t it just a few nights ago that I was getting up with him two – or more – times …
Our sweet baby boy, Matthew Ron, turned one year old today! He has been such a joy to our family. I admit that adding a new baby into our lives after 3 1/2 years of no baby was not easy. I had forgotten how tired a new mom could get, how hard nursing was, how …
Today would have been my Dad’s birthday. I’ve written about him countless times; I’m sure some of you are tired of reading about him. But as I sit here now, listening to the tree frogs and the crickets chirp their songs, as I felt the hot sun glaring down upon the wilting grass earlier today …
Today is my sweet Leslie’s sixth birthday. We are enjoying a visit with her Grandparents in Ohio today. We’ve already had her party, but I just wanted to mention her on her actual day. Leslie is the quietest of my children. She is shy and has a sweet smile. She is a hard worker. She …
Leslie Anne will be six years old on May 17th. We are planning to be on a trip to visit family during her actual birthday, so we had a small party for her last weekend. It was a blessing to have her Nana and Aunt Melanie here for the party. Lord willing, she will get …
Hello, friends! I just wanted to drop in and hit a few high spots of our life the last few weeks. I wrote HERE about how my kiddos, along with some neighborhood friends, built forts out of the pine needles that were raked up from our church’s yard. Well, the vacuum truck finally came by …
Here’s a look at Laci during the past four years. We were so thrilled to find out on my birthday in 2006 that I was expecting our fourth child. I was very surprised and scared since I still had a “baby” – a nine month old at the time! God knows best, and I’m ashamed …
Lauren wanted to go bowling and eat at Golden Corral for her birthday. We had planned to do these things on her actual birthday, the 27th, but when we found out that Golden Corral let kids eat for $1.99 on Tuesdays, we decided to save some moolah and head over early. It turned out to …
Today is my precious Lauren’s 11th birthday! Where did the time go? She is the one who made me a mother. I had no idea how to nurse a baby or care for a newborn when she came along. I didn’t know what to do when she cried in her car seat while we drove. …
