We had a lovely 3-day weekend and I’m so glad that Tim took Friday off to relax and spend some time extra time with us. He made Ben his favorite Birthday breakfast (Belgian waffles with whipped cream) and we also went to an outdoor concert and picnic in town. He took this picture of me…
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…
Birthday Trifecta
We celebrated three birthdays in some form or fashion this past weekend. The bowling party was a little hectic (Little G was crowned King of “WHINEALOT” after it was over) but The B Man had a great time with some of his new friends and that’s what really counts. Oh and he had a Transformer…
Mommy & Me Monday
After a whirlwind weekend, which I will post more about later this week, there was a moment when the kids and I were outside, all together. The boys were playing as boys do and Baby K and I were hanging out by some flowers I’d just planted and I was taking a picture here and…
WW – Hand-Me-Downs
I recently cleaned out the boys’ closet, taking many things to the resale shop and to charity. I also bought some new clothes for them, especially The B Man, and a few things for Little G, although he’s mostly wearing The B Man’s hand-me-downs. When I switched out sizes for Little G the other day,…
I Got Conflicts Yo
It didn’t take long for me to find out in our early dating days, that Tim’s birthday was on the same date as my parents’ wedding anniversary. It’s never really caused a problem before since we don’t usually go anywhere to celebrate their union, we simply send a card if I remember. However, this year…
Who’s Your Baby?
When a baby is born out of our womb and comes into our lives there’s nothing else like it in the world. We’ve waited with so much anticipation for so many months to see their face and marvel at the miracle that is their tiny body. But even as we do, we don’t quite “know”…
A Day to Get Out
Some days I just feel the pull to spend time outdoors. Today was one of those days. I noticed the sun high in the sky and the blue color begged for my observation. So after church and lunch and living room toy clean up it was time to go sliding and walking and duck-feeding and…
PSF – He Loves to Pose
We went to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and Natural History yesterday and the boys had a great time. They have an outdoor “Dino Dig” and a great children’s play area as well as many fabulous exhibits. They also have an outdoor water play area but it was closed due to the fact that…
The 3 C’s – Candy, Cereal & Cousins
We made it to Austin in a little over 7 hours with 3 stops and very little crying. Five minutes before we “landed” in my parents driveway Little G was all like, ” I WANNA GET OUT OF HERE!!!” And so was I. But we made it safe and sound and I was ever so…
