I have a lot to say about our visit to Texas and celebrating my parents’ anniversary. I almost cried several times. Their party and their friends and family and all of their planning made it such a special occasion. But I can’t say it all now because I’m VERY tired from the trip and the…
Blogging Lite
I’ll be givin’ the ole blog a bit of a break this week. The kids and I are doing the “Mommy drives all three kids by herself to Texas” gig again on our way to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary this Saturday. Aren’t they sweet? (that cake looks REALLY good right now…) This is…
One Year AND Nine Months
One year ago today we moved our life to Louisiana. Tim left a couple of days before and then I packed the boys in the car, left our good friends’ house, picked up my MIL and we drove away. Me, the boys, my MIL and the sweet baby in my belly. You know, the same…
WW – 50 Years! Wow.
These are my parents. (one of my very favorite photos of them that I took in 1991 on one of our many vacations together) In about three and half weeks we will join them for a big party to celebrate their marriage of 50 years. 50 Years! Wow. But there’s a little problem. (mom or…
Playing Catch Up
The other day I found myself ‘venting’ about the fact that this could be a crazy Summer with the kids. Yeah, remember that? And now, it’s already less than 2 months before The B Man goes back to school and we have another trip planned in a few weeks to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding…
What Baby K Would Say
A sweet, adorable little girl I know is 8 months old today. (crazy, I know.) She cannot talk yet but if she could, here are a few things I think she might say… (I also did this when Little G was about this age and it cracked me up.) From the mouth of my babe:…
He’s Three!
It’s pretty late as I’m posting these words about my sweet, darling ‘Gavie’. I just finished baking the ice cream cone cupcakes for his party… He’s THREE years old and my heart swells just thinking about the day he was born. The minute they showed him to me in the O.R. and I saw that…
WW – Cruising Into 3
On Saturday this little guy will be three years old. I have a bond with him that’s indescribable. It’s not better than the one I have with my other children, it’s just different. There are moments when I REALLY want to send him off to toddler boarding school. BUT. Most days he redeems himself with…
Takin’ the Kids to the Pool. Hee Hee.
You know that saying, “I dropped some kids off at the pool”? Yeah, you do, you know it. Well… Guess who dropped some kids off at the pool TWICE yesterday? That would be my Little G!!!!!* (your welcome for no pictures of the actual event. Trust me, I was tempted.) Oh and then later that…
S.I.X.
SIX years ago today I became a mother and my life was forever changed. Today my “Benja” is smart, sensitive, funny and quite the artist. He loves his brother and baby sister so very much and likes to “fuzz” Baby K’s hair and even Little G’s still sometimes too! He can be a tad bossy…
