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. …
We were unable to take a “real” vacation this summer. Matthew was born July 14, so we have been busy (and exhausted) as we’ve cared for a newborn. Also, traveling with a few-weeks-old baby isn’t exactly fun, in my opinion. Instead, we were blessed with a visit from my Mom and my sister’s family. My …
We were so thankful to be able to go home a little over 24 hours after Matthew’s birth. My mother graciously came to our home in the middle of the night to care for our other four children, and stayed with them till I came home. Her cooking, cleaning, laundry, and child-care have been a …
Terry and I are thrilled to announce the arrival of our sweet little boy, Matthew Ron Basham. He was born Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 12:05 PM. He weighed 8 lbs. 3oz. and was 20.5 inches long. Sorry it’s taken me a while to post! He’s five days old, and it’s been a long five …
I would like to wish the world’s best husband and Dad, Terry Basham, II, a happy Father’s Day!! We love you with all our hearts. I thank God for a man who leads our family according to God’s Word and does his best to live it out every day.I took the photo below this morning …
Since our summer break began, we have been reading books, working on Fair projects and trying to visit area parks. Yesterday, we were blessed to be able to go to Arkadelphia to meet my Mom for lunch. It is such a blessing to be able to visit with her. I have lived very far away …
Today, our Laci was busily painting with her water colors. She came in to see me after about half an hour and looked like this: I think she got a little carried away! One thing is for sure, there is never a dull moment around the Basham household! :] I hope someone made you smile …
It has been very hot and humid here, in fact, our home thermometer has read 100 degrees once already! Yesterday, the kids eagerly requested that Terry “puh-leeeeeze” spray them with the water hose to cool them off. He agreed to do so today. However, it turns out that he came up with an even better idea, …
My precious children have been bringing the beauty of my hydrangea bush, and other little flowers, into the house! I’ve been delighted with the bouquets they have brought me. Since flowers fade so quickly, I have snapped some photos that will last much longer. 🙂 I’m so thankful that my children think of me, and …
Summer is far spent. I can hardly believe that August is nearly halfway over. We in southwest Arkansas have had our usual smorgasborg of weather. Horrible heat and humidity, tumultuous thunderstorms, and even calming cool winds have been on our plate this summer. Just when the grass near the outer edges of our yard, where …
