I’m so glad I don’t need feet to write. But, I do need them for other things, and when you hurt something on your body, you sure do appreciate that part so much more! I tore a tendon in my right foot doing my workouts. Thankfully, surgery is not necessary. However, I will be on …
I have spent the majority of this week sick in bed. Congested, achy, coughing and miserable. Just today I have felt life flowing in my veins again! We are planning to be away next week for Thanksgiving, at least, I am hoping that I’m up to the trip. Our entire family has passed croup around, …
This is just a photo of the girls before our Wednesday night services. I liked their hair-dos. Wow, what a busy week this has been! It was a special week because of all the “firsts” we had! On Tuesday, August 14, Laci (K5) read her first word! It was “bat”! 🙂 On Wednesday, August 15, …
Our library has been hosting some very exciting summer reading story hours. The theme is “Dream big: READ!”. This last week, June 19, they had a magician. He was very funny and all five kids enjoyed it.When David Scott, the magician, asked for volunteers, Leslie raised her hand, but when he picked her, she pulled …
Well, on March 6, 2012, another bittersweet moment went into the annuls of Basham family history. *sniff sniff* My youngest girl has taken of on two wheels! (I’m really dreading the day when it’s FOUR wheels!) It was so sweet to watch her face as she took off. She didn’t fall even once, because her …
Last night, my older two children had the opportunity to perform at their first recital! They have been taking lessons for about a year and a half now. They are progressing very nicely and we are so proud of them. Our hope is that they will be able to play some simple hymns by this …
I’ve been struggling with asthma and allergy trouble since the end of August. I kept thinking, “This will get better…this is getting better…I just know it.” But, this week, I had to admit it isn’t. Even with insurance, medical costs add up quickly so money was a concern, too. This week we finally ha d …
About two weeks ago, I let the little girls go out to play on the tarp – that’s a homemade slip’n’slide made from a big tarp and a water hose. A month or so ago, the kids found a golf club behind our church. Leslie had gotten that golf club to play with on the …
Every year, since we’ve lived in Arkansas, my children have had the opportunity to spend a few days alone with my mom. This year, they are each getting an entire week with her! My little girls went to her house together last week, and now, my oldest daughter is there for her week. My son …
Matthew is doing better and better each day! He is playing more and sleeping less. In fact, he’s not sleeping through the night anymore! I am hoping it’s only because he’s gotten his days and nights mixed up. I was up until 4:30 this morning with him. He slept some of that time, but I …
