The Funnies
There is nothing better in parenting than the little nuggets of wisdom, laughter or joy that your children can bring you.
I had three such nuggets today that I had to capture so I can remember for ever and ever.
Hayden has always and forever been an early riser. This kid is so awesome that typically he is showered, dressed, snacks packed an [...]
My Favorite Cub Scout
I just love watching our children grow into the young people that they becoming. My son, who as a little boy used to get much joy from merely observing others around him has grown into a young boy who loves to be part of the action.
Kip and I have always said, “Hayden does things in his own time” and continues to hold true.
At a [...]
My Little Girl
This week we took Gillian for her first full eye exam with our favorite Optometrist, Dr. Bergamo. Gillian has been getting several headaches so we decided to start with getting her eyes checked. Although her eyes are NOT ‘bad’ there are some issues that glasses can maybe help with. She has a small astigmatism, which apparen [...]
Spring
“Spring is one of the four temperate seasons, the transition period between winter and summer. Spring and “springtime” refer to the season, and broadly to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth.” ~ Wikipedia

After 17 Years of Marriage….

I am grateful to God for bringing us together. Although our journey of 17 years was not always joyful, it was surely the path that our Heavenly Father had to bring us through to bring [...]
Love my Kindle

I love how easy it is to use and how much it can do. The feature that I love most right now is that I can make the font bigger for when I am reading in bed.
I have almost [...]
Good Quote
If you want to hear God’s voice clearly and you are uncertain, then remain in His presence until He changes this uncertainty. Often much can happen during this waiting for the Lord. Sometimes He changes pride to humility, doubt to faith and peace; sometimes lust to purity. The Lord can and will do it. ~ Corrie Ten Boom
Surprise Cool Gift
Touch and Brush!!
Earlier this year when the “Touch and Brush” commercials were bombarding the airwaves, Hayden kept begging us to order one of these newfangled gadgets. We giggled and “brushed” it off.
So you can only imagine what I was thinking when I saw that they actually had them in the stores this Christmas seas [...]
