Today is Matthew’s seventh birthday. I admit that his birthdays have been a tad harder for me emotionally because he is the last one. However, I get emotional over each of the children’s birthdays, especially the milestone ones, like one, two, three…wait a minute… okay. I get emotional about each one. Matthew has enjoyed being …
Today, my youngest child turns six years old! He has brought joy to all of us. His sixth birthday reminded me of this poem: Now We Are Six – A.A. Milne When I was one, I had just begun. When I was two, I was nearly new. When I was three, I was hardly me. …
Here’s an old video I found and recently uploaded to YouTube for our friends and family. I “caught” Matthew getting his own cup from the cabinet in a way that would not require his climbing on anything. I thought it was pretty creative. It was taken on May 19, 2015, when he was just four …
Matthew, while playing. (And, no, he doesn’t care that it’s summer.) 🙂 Today, our sweet Matthew Ron is turning five years old! In honor of his big day, I thought I’d share a few things about our youngest child. M anly – He’s all boy! He loves to pretend to fight with swords, guns or …
After our Bible Conference ended, we were able to enjoy some pleasant weather. I’ve learned during my brief time here, that Oklahoma weather, is unpredictable. Last winter, we had severely cold temperatures that lasted for weeks. We also had several snow days. This year, it’s been more temperate. We actually have had some days reach …
Matthew turned four two weeks ago and due to the busy-ness of life then, I didn’t get to share these photos. I wanted to share them now. He is such a joy to our lives! Matthew before church three weeks ago. At the spray park on Ft. Sill. Terry snapped this one after church one …
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord. ~ Psalm 113:9 My darling little boy is growing up into an adorable little pre-schooler. Since my oldest daughter is almost 15, I know first hand how quickly the time seems to pass. However, I …
I’m sitting in the living room next to Matthew on this lovely spring evening and thinking…probably too much! (Didn’t know that was possible with me didja? 😉 )Anyway, I thought I’d put my few meandering thoughts here. It’s supposed to be written in stanzas of two lines (couplet), but my blog doesn’t want to recognize …
The boys were so excited to hear that we were finally going shopping for a bunk bed earlier this week. They have been waiting a long time. We went to every furniture store in our town, but were unimpressed with the prices and the low quality. Terry said, “I can build them a bunk bed. …
I recently uploaded the photos from my phone to my computer. I was surprised at how many I had of the kids, especially Matthew! If I come upon him while he’s up to some thing cute (which is often, says the completely  unbiased mother! Ha!) then I pull out my phone and snap a photo! …
