I believe in Santa Claus, in some form or fashion, don’t you? Well, when I was a little girl Santa came to my house pretty early on Christmas Eve, mostly because we had to be at Midnight Mass by 11 to get a seat, and because we were headed to my Grandmother’s house early the…
Highchair Happiness
Gavin has graduated to the big high chair that Ben used to use. I don’t know how it is for other mothers, but it’s a little surreal to see your new baby sit in the chair that your first baby sat in over and over and over… Gavin is almost as old as Ben was…
This Morning…
… I am up early. Well, I am ususally up pretty early with the baby, and I was again today but now he is snuggled back in his bed as are the rest of the “boys” in my life, while I am in the kitchen baking for our church choir bake sale today. It has…
Wanted – Advent Wreath!
We always had an advent wreath in our house when I was growing up. We would light the appropriate candles during each Sunday of Advent, just as it is done during mass. For several years now I have wanted to create one for my family to carry on the tradition and for whatever reason I…
Christmas Music
I am an musician – yes it may be in the slighest sense of the word – but I do sing in public and sometimes even for pay (!) and have since I was a little girl. I used to “play” the piano (again using the term “play” VERY lightly!) and I can read and…
Cool CHRISTMAS Song/Video
My friend Jennifer Gibson sent me this video and I just love it. Not only does it say what a lot of us Christians want to express at this time of the year, but it’s also quite catchy too! Enjoy it! Click here

Well, Gavin’s issue turned out to be “just” hives. At least that is how the pediatrician said it to me. I took him there on Friday morning because he broke out pretty bad again and of course by the time we got there and saw the doctor they were pretty much gone. He said that…
I Don’t Like the Letters E & R together…
So tonight we ended up in the ER because Gavin had an allergic reaction to something (who knows what) and it really freaked me out. It started after he had a little nap late this afternoon with one little white welt and redness near his ear. By the time we got to the hospital the…
Blog-a-versary
Can you believe it? I have been doing this blog thing for a year now. Last year one of my first posts was a picture of our Christmas tree, and this year we got a new one. We are staying in Arlington for Christmas this year (this will be the first time in my LIFE…
Our Newest Godson
Not only are Tim and I blessed with 2 sons of our own, but we’re also honored and blessed to have 3 Godsons. Our first Godson is Andrew Gibson, our second is Ethan Clark and now our nephew Daniel Jacob Hosek. Because Daniel was born so premature he was baptized with water in the hospital…
