I’m getting a lot of teasing from my friends up north about my enthusiasm over the snowfall we’ve had recently. For those of us in the south, when snow falls, we slow down and stare. We take it all in, we breathe deeply and we stand in awe. I’ve taken over 100 photos of the …
Typically, in our neck of the woods, we don’t see snow in winter. We might see a dusting, if we’re blessed. Mostly, we see rain, clouds, and more rain. If we are not blessed, we see ice – lots of ice! We were thrilled to hear reports of significant snowfall being predicted earlier last week. …
A few weeks ago, two of my kiddos decided to make a “bed” for Matthew. They were so happy when Matthew cooperated in their little game. 🙂 They came to me, pushing Matthew, chiming together “It’s baby Moses! It’s baby Moses!” and giggling. I snapped a couple of pictures, but they weren’t very good. Still, …
On January 2, 1998, I married my best friend. I gave him my heart over 13 years ago, and he has cared for it meticulously ever since. He has sacrificed for me, protected me, listened to me, cared for me when I’ve been sick, cherished me and made me laugh. He has held me during …
I entered the world on March 25, 19– What? Did you really think I’d tell you the year? 🙂 Four people were eagerly awaiting my arrival. They were my mother (of course), my dad, my brother (waiting rather calmly) and my sister (not waiting calmly at all). Melanie, my sister, had been praying for a …
When I was little, my mom would say this little poem while she helped me dry off after my bath. I loved it then, and I still love it today. I know she read it in a book at some point, but I have no idea which one, so I am unable to give credit. …
I awoke today thinking about Christmases past. I have so many wonderful memories of Christmas at my home. I’d like to take you to my there for a bit…don’t worry, you’ll be home in time for supper. 🙂 This house, my home place, wasn’t always this dark or cold on Christamas Day. This kitchen/dining room …
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 …
I am just now getting some pics posted of our Thanksgiving week. We were able to take the whole week off of school and spend three days in Benton visiting my family there. My brother from Florida was there for a week with his family, my sister came in from North Carolina, and my Mom …
I couldn’t resist sharing this photo of Matthew. It looks as though he is “reading” the warning label on his bassinet bedding. 🙂 Who said warning labels get ignored? 🙂
