Ok, maybe you know, or have guessed, that I’m frugal (or cheap) – and I like to get clothing used/thrift/secondhand. Especially children’s clothing since they grow and change sizes so fast! Or my clothing for that matter – pregnant, not, pregnant, not, pregnant, not – I’m not sure what my “real” size is anymore!
Apart from [...]

Procrastination
Posted in Abbie, house on October 6, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Well, here it is, what you’ve been waiting for while I’ve been procrastinating (ok, so you weren’t waiting, but I was procrastinating!).
The bathroom. Here’s a couple “before” or “currently” pictures of how our upstairs bathroom has looked since we moved in two months ago. Except for a while there were even more boxes and junk [...]
Heme aquí.
Posted in Abbie, God, family, kids on October 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Heme aquí, yo iré, Señor.
Heme aquí, yo iré, Señor.
Envíame a mi,
que dispuesta estoy.
Llevaré tu gloria a las naciones.
This is the song my girls have requested at bedtime for the past few nights.
Ever since they discovered I could sing in Spanish. Ever since Kate asked, “Mama, can I speak Spanish?” Ever since “Spanish” became more than just [...]
A portrait in chalk

Meg drew this out front:
She said it was me.
Can’t you tell? She said she drew Mama, the bump at the top is my head – see the two eyes she drew? – the line at the bottom is my “bottom” and the scribbles in the middle are my clothes!
Gotta love how kids see the world. [...]
Do you recognize this dress?
Posted in Abbie, family on September 27, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Sorry about the poor picture quality. But, please do tell us anything you might know about this dress – who, what, when, where! Share in the comments and in a couple days I’ll update with the little I know about it! Fun, fun!
Of course.

Of course when the girls go to bed easy and early, the boy stays up for three hours.
Of course when he sleeps all night, the girls are up way earlier than usual.
Of course the mama thinks she needs more sleep.
Of course she can still choose the kind of day she wants.
Of course she still has [...]
Three years, three months.
Posted in Abbie, Daniel, baby, breastfeeding, little things on June 6, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Three years, three months. That’s how long my body supported another life either through pregnancy or breastfeeding (first Megan and then Daniel).
But now it’s over. Daniel hasn’t nursed in several days. I’m sad because breastfeeding can be so sweet.
However, it was NOT an easy thing for me. (Click here to read my first post about [...]
Happy Mother’s Day
Posted in Abbie, family, kids, little things on June 2, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Yes, I know Mother’s Day was, um, two weeks ago. Or so.
Anyway, all I wanted was a picture with my sweet children. And I got one. Or two or seven, but here are my favorites!
I am so blessed with their smiles every day.
And someday I will see the blessing in the tears and tantrums, too.
I [...]
Seven year itch.
Posted in Abbie, God, Josh, little things on May 18, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Well, I don’t think it’s ever been itchy.
It’s chaffed some, but we’ve been working on it.
There has been more love than I ever imagined.
More laughter than I can remember.
Three sweet children who I can’t imagine life without.
Every year better than the last.
The little things like a smile, a kiss, or help making supper.
The big things [...]
Like flies to honey (or roadkill)

I drove to Lincoln today to take Daniel to the doctor, but that’s a long story for another day.
I attracted cops like some kind of criminal, though. I don’t know what it was. I wasn’t speeding. Or … what else can you get pulled over for, anyway? Oh, I had the proper tags on my [...]
