Sweet, sweet kids that they are (especially Kathryn, who just turned seven and therefore knew what she was missing), the birthday kids this week graciously accepted a VERY toned down birthday celebration, understanding that Mommy couldn’t do much this year, and the big “present” for us all was the birth of Grace. Still, I want … [Read more…]
Oh yeah, I’m in love… (it has been SO HARD to get a decent picture of her! For one, she barely stops moving and secondly, the camera we’ve got seems to “flatten” out her features, so my really rather thin baby comes out looking chunky in every picture! My dad’s camera took great pictures of … [Read more…]
hmmmmm. Blogger seems to be having great difficulty this evening. I was hoping to finally sit down (while nursing) and upload some pictures but, alas, twas not meant to be. I will say though that it’s been a busy week… THREE birthdays (Kathryn’s, Thomas’, and finally Marie’s today.), some homeschooling, a doctor’s visit for Grace, … [Read more…]
Prayer whispered yesterday evening: “St. Therese, please pray for me that these panic attacks will go away.“ Guess what just started blooming on my rose bush this morning… Bear in mind that this particular bush hasn’t had any roses on it in, oh, several months now… (excuse the bad picture. I had to take it … [Read more…]
…for all the comments (both here and in “real life”), prayers, and helpful suggestions.

Before… …and after.Grace was born on Thursday, October 11th, at 2:10 PM. She weighed in at 7 lbs 1 oz and was 20 inches long. Welcome to the world, sweetheart! I would like to thank each and every one of you who prayed for me. I can honestly say that this was the easiest c-section … [Read more…]
All the pregnant women in our Bible study! (Many thanks to Amber for the pictures). Well, It’s almost 8:30 AM here, and I’ll be leaving in about an hour to drive to the hospital. I am so thankful for all of you out there praying for me as I battle the inevitable nervousness! I’ll be … [Read more…]
…as I realize all that I have left to do. Why do so many things sneak up on us last minute? I thank all of you for your prayers. I will be relying heavily on knowing I’m being prayed for when they wheel me into the operating room on Thursday!
Whew! It’s been a whirlwind of activity around here as we are in the last few days before Grace arrives! Top item: New van has arrived! Let’s all shout a huge PRAISE GOD for that one! I am thankful to have it, but now I have to learn how to drive this monstrous machine I … [Read more…]
