Matthew really got into helping me with the dishes…as into the dishwasher! He won’t be doing this anymore, but I couldn’t resist snapping a photo of it this once. He loves handing us the dishes, and he climbed up on the dishwasher lid lickety-split! Also, I’ve been doing some redecorating here at the blog. Did …
I was working in the kitchen recently with Matthew at my side, pulling out all of the pots and pans. I was surprised to see that he had done this: Whoops! 🙂
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 …
We had a very relaxing July 4th holiday. We stayed home, enjoyed some KFC and homemade a strawberry shortcake with my mom. The kids played in the sprinkler and listened to their Nana read books to them. I did a bit of laundry, made some plans for the coming school year (which begins this week …
On our way home from our vacation, we took a pit stop somewhere near Memphis, TN. (All the towns sort of ran together toward the end of our journey.) I let Matthew sit in the driver’s seat to get a little exercise since there wasn’t a good place to let him crawl around. It was …
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 …
Only one word comes to mind to describe how I’ve felt yesterday and today: exhausted. I’m more emotionally exhausted than physically, but my body is tired after the 2,000 mile journey to and from Columbus, Ohio, and now the fear for Matthew’s little life. If you’re just now tuning in, please read my previous post …
On Friday, May 27, at approximately 2:30 PM, Matthew was playing on the floor in our oldest daughter’s room. Suddenly, Lauren called out, “Mom, Matthew just threw up a lot.” I ran in to clean up the mess, not too concerned about it. When I got to the room, I saw he was gagging over …
We have had a wonderful vacation! In fact, we are still on vacation! I wanted to check in with you loyal readers to let you know we are all fine. Matthew had an ear infection at the beginning of our trip. I was worried about his getting sick while we were away before we ever …
The warmer weather has arrived in Arkansas! We are actually wearing our summer jammies some evenings! We still have some nights which are rather chilly, so we have to be prepared either way for a few more weeks. I wanted to show you Matthew’s cute little summer pj’s! I just loved the way he looked …
