A Real Day Off
“Do you like butter, Max??” I was lazy on Friday. I am not lazy by nature. I work three days a week and often spend my two days off doing laundry, sweeping my entire first floor, taking care of the kids, doing dishes and performing other house-wifey tasks. And I did do some of this […]
Missing Lake Tweet
A Lake Tweet shot with no lake in sight. Well, I’m exhausted from Jambo and running around this week. The kids are too. Daddy is almost done with four 12’s at work. We’re all missing Lake Tweet, but with the heat and the tiredness, it just might wait. The weather just isn’t letting up at […]
Free As We’ll Ever Be
Self-portrait :: Me and Colby, October 2009 While the Zac Brown Band wasn’t at Jamboree in the Hills this year, I’ve been thinking a lot about their most recent hit. We really are free as we’ll ever be. This is it, kids. Quit aching for more when you have it all! I find my freedom […]
Cheers to Jambo!
Another photo of my siblings and I having fun at Jambo! Well, I think my to-do list is just about done. I’m done. My body is done. My tired, pregnant body has convinced my weary mind to leave the rest to God, or my mother-in-law or whoever else wants to step in and do it. […]
Pondering in My Silence
A pretty nature shot from Lake Tweet to help liven up my melancholy post… So sorry, dears; I’ve been quiet lately. In high school, I coined the quote, “We’re not quiet, we’ve just given up.” And I guess that’s true for me right now to a point, but I’ve also been operating under the intelligent, […]
Dough+Ham+Salami+Pepperoni+Provolone+ItalianSeasoning+LOVE= Jamboree Stromboli!
My best girl, Roberta, and I, making memories we might have forgotten at Jamboree! That’s right, kids. It’s stromboli time! I’m slaving away in the kitchen, beating incooperative, mooshy, slight-raised, slightly-frozen bread dough into stromboli. I do this every year at about this time, because hey! Pack your bags, there’s a place we gotta go, […]
Faith, Grace and Selflessness
Sometimes God gives us amazing miracles when we least expect it. I know a little bit about this lately. On June 11, nearly a month ago now, I learned something about myself. I learned that I’m unexpectedly pregnant with my fourth child. Roberts 4.0 is due February 10, 2011. Colby Levi, who you might remember […]
Land That I Love
Well, kids, it’s time to celebrate America. It really is such a wonderful place. While I don’t particularly like to hear the slams against the president, I’m happy to live in a place where those slams are on the legal side of the law. Life isn’t perfect, but it’s a good life. I’m happy to […]
Ode to My Sweet Little Fever Boy
Maxwell is my fever kid. His big sis, Lil, cranks one out every now and then, but Max? This little man has us up and worrying and hemming and hawing at least every couple of months. Last night, around 2 a.m., we swear, his fever was nearly 105 degrees. One-oh-four-point-nine, to be exact. We medicated, […]
