On a Mission Monday

admin | October 26, 2009

Want to know what we accomplished this week??
We survived! And believe me – that in itself was an accomplishment this week!
The flu hit our house in a big way over the last week and a half, and we have been down for the count.  On one hand it has been terrible.  My poor children [...]

Kickin’ Back on the Beach

admin | October 22, 2009

Feet in the sand, waves washing up on shore, sun setting, dolphins feeding, music playing…and the overwhelming sense that the birds that my children are chasing will be attacking (or pooping on) me at any moment.
Next stop on our vacation was St. Petersburg, FL.  A little sand, a little sun and a visit with grandparents.  [...]

On a Mission Monday

admin | October 20, 2009

Hello, friends!  Have you had a productive week? We sure have!
Did you hear the celebrating going on here on Saturday night?  We finished one of our biggest projects that was on our list…CJ’s room.  We went from a purple, little girl room to a very cool Star Wars room in a matter of hours.  A [...]

Superhero Reading

For CJ’s birthday dinner we went to Pizza Hut.
Please know that I offered to make my boy anything that he wanted for his birthday dinner. Homemade spaghetti and meatballs (his favorite). Chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. Tacos, burritos or tater tot casserole.
No thanks, Pizza Hut is the best.
*Sigh*
Well, it just so happens [...]

Padawan in Training

admin | October 16, 2009

It is no secret that the Force has descended in a strong way upon our house.  Light sabers swing often. Captain Rex is a regular and we don’t rush, we fly in light speed. Our children ask regularly to change their names to Luke and Leia.
Ask our family and we will all tell you that [...]

The Kiss

admin | October 15, 2009

Princess kisses don’t rub off…they rub in.
Or so I’ve been told. If you want to know for sure, you would need to ask CJ. He has first-hand knowledge.
Watch his face in this video.

Our Vacation (Part 1)

admin | October 14, 2009

I have been stalling on writing this post, not because I didn’t want to share the pictures and memories of our trip, but because weeding through the hundreds of pictures and videos, editing, and figuring out how to post them so they are on the blog for our documentation and yet not boring to you, [...]

8 Years Ago Today

admin | October 14, 2009

Eight years ago today, my life changed in ways I couldn’t possibly comprehend at that time.
Eight years ago today, I gave birth to my first son. He arrived in this world quietly, unassuming, with eyes opened wide, taking in his new world quietly, much the same way he still does. Our first pictures [...]

On a Mission Monday

admin | October 12, 2009

I knew this day was coming. It was inevitable…just a matter of time. Want to know what things on my list got accomplished this week?
NONE OF THEM!
Plenty got accomplished.  Abby was adequately celebrated. Soccer was practiced.  School was taught.  Meetings were held. We laughed, rushed, sold popcorn and played.
But those pictures that needed [...]
