I took this picture early this morning as these two sat quietly together and played … until I interrupted to take a picture.
My sweet, bouncing baby boy is walking! Here he is trying it out yesterday at the park.
Then Kate started dancing.
And Megan started sliding … and collecting static for her hair!
I hope you get [...]

We haven’t played in the park much recently. Sometimes it just seems like too much work to get the kids ready and out the door.
But it’s always worth it once we get there! (I’m linking this to Tuesdays Unwrapped at Chatting at the Sky because I’m learning to take time to enjoy the little things.) [...]

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 [...]

Well, it’s fall and it’s October. Today it was also 80 degrees! Anyway, I added this bit of fall to my mantel (now that I have mantel, I ought to do something with it, right?) the other day and wanted to share it with you. Because I know you’ve been waiting to see it. (OK, [...]
Here are some pictures from our vacation to Colorado.
We were so blessed to stay in my brother’s condo. It was so nice to have a kitchen and laundry facilities right there. And also to see Uncle Louis! We also saw Uncle Austin and Aunt Erika.
Enough talk, more pictures. Enjoy our fun in the moutains!
Looking at [...]

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. [...]

I was sitting outside just a minute ago and two middle school boys were riding their bikes across the street. This is what I heard -
“I’m going to my other … my girlfriend’s house.”
“Who is it?” (disbelieving)
“I’m not saying because everyone will laugh.”
“Yeah right.”
“No really, they will.”

… I can sew! And some credit also goes to my mom and grandma.
Anyway, I’ve been sewing more lately, partly because a neighbor who is moving gave me several bags of fabric that jump-started my imagination! Also, the blogs SouleMama and Little Birdie Secrets have many projects (some similar to these) and ideas I’d [...]

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 [...]
