It was a long week. A really, really, really long week. So this is a first for me, I think. I have a question for you guys. We have recently painted our kitchen a soft taupe color with our white updated cabinets, which Dw totally did {and did a dang-tootin beautiful job, I might add}….

Driving in traffic today, and have a little looky at the eye candy the Lord allowed me in the middle of a city that boasts over a million people… I mean, come on, what are the odds? Only God. And yes, I thoroughly enjoyed him for a few brief moments… I bet he is one…

I think every family has at least one who just doesn’t really care to sleep. You know what I’m talking about? At our home, we call that one: The Wanderer That child who avoids sleep at all costs. Yes, yes, I know, it is often said, “Well they just don’t require much sleep.” Of course…

Given the official announcement yesterday I joyfully share our family photo taken over Christmas. Missing twelve of us: Abigail, Ryan, Finn, Stone, & Baby #3 [due any day], Ty, Sarah, Charlotte & Will, Emma & LM Baby #1 for Karl and Autumn – although sort of pictured Ruby’s thinkin’, “Is that the best scary face…

Let’s Give ‘Em Something to Talk About…

One of the most entertaining things of being a mom {at least in my thoughts anyway} is hearing the stories of family life from my now-grown children’s perspective. Our oldest son, every time we are all together, laments about the “the years mom went through the no-sugar faze”. He swears it lasted for nearly forever….

Recently Ruby and I spent some time in a waiting room with a bunch of other moms. It was not a place we had been before and the group was made up almost all young women and their babies. I smiled to myself when we entered and saw them all sitting holding their little ones…
