For your listening pleasure: I love Christmas songs! On another note – Maddie is feeling much better, a few sniffles and sneezes and that’s all. I came down with a cold yesterday morning. Made it to church, but shortly after we came home I felt like my head was going to implode. I’m a little better today, still very stuffy… Read More »Music, health and an ultrasound
Yesterday was interesting. Zach, Maddie and I were able to get school done by lunch. Kate slept late (till lunch) as it was the first week day she didn’t have a class since August. Josh had fun getting the fire going and cutting up pallets to burn (gotta love free firewood). At lunchtime, though, things kind of fell apart. I… Read More »Good start, strange middle, beautiful finish
Well, finally, the family knows. Mom’s known for a while. I told my dad and brother a couple of days ago, and last night I called my grandparents. Its not a secret anymore! What is it? Oh, only that we’re having a baby. May 3 is the estimated date of arrival. Of course, everyone knows that babies don’t have a… Read More »The news is out
Had problems signing in, so I couldn’t update, but not much has been going on here. We had our GIANT yard sale Labor Day weekend. We got rid of lots of stuff! The remainder went to Goodwill, except a couple of things that I’ll ebay. Its so nice having all that stuff gone, but it seems like our house is… Read More »Yard Sales and Birthdays
Couldn’t sleep last night – Zach woke me up around 2:30 when he crawled into bed with us, and I just couldn’t get back to sleep after that (thanks Zach 🙂 ). So I did some cross stitch, did some internet searching, and finally fell asleep around 5:45 am. As much as I really hate not being able to sleep… Read More »Today’s (non) events
School has officially started for Josh. Zach and Maddie are impatiently waiting for Friday – they get to take classes at our homeschool co-op. Katie starts on Monday. So, this morning I was up at 4:00 am. Zach wasn’t feeling well and he crawled into bed with us. Out of bed at 7:00, shower, etc. Take Kate to work at… Read More »My Morning
Wow, I haven’t posted in a while. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say, God knows I have LOTS to say. I just don’t know how to say all the things that run through my head. The summer is nearing an end for us, and I need to start getting my mind back into “homeschooling mode”. Zach and… Read More »What I know for sure
Yesterday I thought it would be fun to try curling Maddie’s hair with rag curlers. You know, the old fashioned curling iron that doesn’t damage your hair. Well, this is what she looked like with her hair in rags. Kind of cute, I think. Here’s after from the back. What beautiful ringlets! Of course it helps that her hair has… Read More »Rag Curler Result
Its raining. Again. I need to check my address, ’cause I thought we lived in Texas now, and I’m beginning to think maybe not. Perhaps we’re still in Maine and this has just been a really bad dream. I’ll wake up soon, and we’ll be in Maine, with friends, my kids will all be happy, my husband won’t be, but… Read More »Rain
So after a “leave of blog absence” for almost 2 months, I suppose I should have something to write about. We went “up North” for a quick whirlwind trip to visit family. 4 days in New York, 3 days in Pennsylvania, and 2 days in Delaware. Plus 1 1/2 days of driving and time at the airport. Oh, What Fun!… Read More »Oops
