From the Couch
Our baby turned one yesterday. He hit a major milestone just two days before his birthday with his first wobbly, adorable steps! It is a very fun time to be mom of this little, ornery, happy boy. His personality is shining bright, and he fits right in with this group of monkeys! We’ve had so […]
Not the Only Ship on the Ocean
Momma and Friday’s birthday boy on a better day than today! Photo courtesy of the lovely Jennifer Duskey I have been writing this post in my head all day, but words escape me now. I do know I’ve had one of those days where I’ve wanted to step outside of myself. I’ve wanted to get […]
Reasons
Photo by Jennifer Duskey Photography Oh, my reasons. You are so beautiful. You make me laugh. You make me tired. I’ve had a wonderful week with all of you. We’ve killed several boxes of tissues; we’ve snuggled five across; we’ve welcomed Daddy home from work in party fashion. Some of you have been sick. Not […]
Virtual Reality
All thanks go to Jennifer Duskey of Jennifer Duskey Photography for this sweet sneak peek of our frigid outdoor photo shoot on Saturday morn. I can’t wait to see more, and I promise to share! Life seems so real tonight. I am feeling a heaviness in my heart for others and contentment with my lot […]
"Mink" Farewell
Where have all the binkies gone? Please don’t tell Colby, but they’re hiding in a bowl on the kitchen counter. It’s amazing how many we have accumulated over the years. Because Luke is not a fan, this is goodbye–one of our first true finales of the baby days. I’m not sad at all that Colby […]
This One
This picture-this one right here-is my reward of the day. I had seven kids in my care. Seven delightful, adorable, worthwhile, amazing kids in my care. I did not worry about money. I did not worry my sweet little head about my career. I tried not to yell too much. I didn’t wish to be […]
Winter Cozy
I am pleased to report that, five days into January, I have read two books. Amazing! I am an avid reader, but I try to forget that about myself most of the time. Reading is an addictive hobby. I am sucked into whole other worlds, and it becomes hard to manage my own reality. As […]
Feed That Fire
I don’t know about all of you, but this New Year’s has me feeling a little anxious. I’m not sure how best to explain it. It started last night with the promise of my first day back to work in twelve days. I checked Facebook just long enough to get an eyeful of ambitious resolutions […]
