Joseph is asleep… IN BED! I hope this lasts more than just a few minutes… Oh, I’ve had so much to post about, and absolutely no free time to do so. In these precious few minutes before he starts screaming again, let me recap what’s been going on. First, I’ve missed you guys! I mentioned … [Read more…]
As I said, I’m going through A Mother’s Rule of Life (again) to try to get our day organized. What worked in years past no longer works now, so I’m having to rethink everything all over again. I have to take into account a new baby, my night-owl tendencies, and the increased workload for homeschooling … [Read more…]
Not a very original title, I must admit, but it’s so very, very true. God continually shows me what true love looks like through my children. If I ever wind up being half as mature spiritually as they are, I’ll be blessed indeed. Tonight was no exception. It started off with Thomas getting a toy … [Read more…]

I think I get a free pass on this… I’ve been holding a baby pretty much non-stop for days! (he will NOT sleep if I put him down. I’m not kidding.) 1. Joseph was baptized last week! We are so blessed to have good friends (M&B) be the Godparents of Joseph. With them in his … [Read more…]
Eek! What have I gotten myself into? Today was the first day that my husband went back to work, although the kids and I were alone Monday and Tuesday when my husband travelled for his father’s funeral. I barely managed to roll out of bed around NINE after a night of repeated awakenings and diaper … [Read more…]
[don’t read this if you’re eating or easily grossed-out] … let me just say for the record that there was NO Christ-like response from me when I picked up my vomiting daughter from the table, tried to carry her into the bathroom, slipped in the vomit on the kitchen floor, fell (while still holding her), … [Read more…]
