I did.
And I saw way too much of myself in the past couple years.
But God will change that. If I let Him. And I’m sure gonna [...]

Sunshine

Sunshine.
Any sunshine, especially during this rainy week is a beautiful thing to celebrate.
The girls and I saw the sun rise (just minutes before it disappeared into the clouds for the day) on an early trip to the store Wednesday.
And I saw the morning sun shining on this fruit box in my kitchen.
I’m linking this to [...]
Siblings.

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 [...]
The view from four and half!
Posted in Kate, family, little things on October 16, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Kate is four and a half. I love the way her mind works. Here’s a glimpse:
This is what I saw after she helped by putting the chicken nuggets and tater tots on the cookie sheet! I laughed out loud and tried not to tip them over as I put the pan in the oven!
And then.
This [...]
A smile for doing dishes.

I got tired of looking at this next to my sink, but I (and the sweet hubby) like having it on the counter instead of in the cupboard:
So I tried this for a more attractive solution, but it wasn’t easy to pour and left soap all over the counter:
So I bought a small bottle of [...]
These are a few of my favorite things
Posted in craftiness, house, little things on October 8, 2009 | 2 Comments »
No new shelving for me right now. But these favorite fabrics, throws, bedspreads, sheets and lovely antique thread and buttons dress up the plastic grayness of these shelves.
Besides where else am I going to put these lovely textures and patterns!
I got almost all of the thread and buttons for a dollar at an estate auction [...]
A day in the park
Posted in family, kids, little things, outside, play on October 5, 2009 | 3 Comments »
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.) [...]
A portrait in chalk
Posted in Abbie, Megan, kids, little things, outside on September 28, 2009 | 7 Comments »
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. [...]
Ten months already!
Posted in Daniel, baby, family, little things on August 20, 2009 | 4 Comments »
My sweet baby boy is TEN months old (a few days ago)! It’s so funny to see him crawling, pulling up and walking along the furniture while Megan is telling Grandma on the phone, “We have a baby. He is Daniel Gareth. He has feets. He has green poop.” Thanks, Meg. Good to know. Grandma [...]
I love the kitchen
Posted in craftiness, house, little things on August 10, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Things I love about my new kitchen:
- spills and “accidents” are a breeze to clean up off the wood floor!
- silverware can’t fall into the garbage disposal.
- there’s room for the table – I love a table in the kitchen for the kids and I during the day.
- the drainboard attached to the sink is great [...]
