Heard during a recent conversation between Uno and Dos (Jack and Charlotte) from the back of the family truckster… (Uno) “Mama likes to play Jesus music in the car. Daddy likes to play to rock & roll!”(Dos) “Rock on, Jack!” Won’t it be funny when they decide to share something similar during the children’s sermon? 😉 Amy…

Spring preview
What a winter! (Ok, friends up north…stop snickering. 😉 But, really. I don’t remember a year when I have ever in my life been quite so ready for spring to, well, spring already. Mr. Weatherman is now officially back on my good list, because after seeing the turn for the better the weather has taken,…
Fun stuff
It was a good day. The sun shone (although it was really cold for this time of year, but I’m not about to get picky!), the kiddos were in great spirits (all three of them at once…a true miracle!), and I managed some time at my sewing table to finish my latest project for Charlotte,…
Love, part deux
So yesterday’s (rather sappy) post got me thinking. What do I love most about my children, about Matt right now? What are the little things I never want to let slip my mind? Jack, age 4 I love that he is still so enthralled with music, that he will listen so intently, no matter the…
Love
I’ve had this post on my heart since well before Valentine’s Day, but with the way things have been flying at warp speed around here of late, I am just not putting my thoughts to paper (screen). It is so easy to get bogged down by the everyday activities that slowly make us feel like…
Looking back on 2009
I finished our family video for 2009 (about time, right?!). I never tire of putting these together each year, because I can already tell what a treasure trove of precious memories these will be as the time goes by. A couple of disclaimers: this thing is quite long, and I went through about a box…
A marvelous day
There is something so wonderful, so magical, about awaking to a world covered in white. We weren’t even expecting a snow storm when we went to bed last night, just more rain. It was quite a pleasant surprise!I hadn’t seen snow like this since we moved here from Lubbock five (!!) years ago. The flakes…
Making the most of rainy days
Will it ever stop raining here in Arkansas?! After the beginning of the year, I suppose I held out the naive hope that 2010 would bring an end to the constant dreary weather just as abruptly as it began at the beginning of 2009. It has been a solid year of consistent clouds! Not to…
Baby, it’s cold outside!
The winter storm that had every Arkansan aflutter all last week finally arrived Friday into Saturday. The kiddos were thrilled to see some white stuff, but unfortunately, a half inch of ice covered with perhaps a millimeter of snow doesn’t really make for very favorable snow angel conditions. 😉 No matter; we had tons of…
These are the days
I have such precious kids. Even when life is mind-blowingly hectic, I manage to have moments of total clarity and joy when I look at each child and realize that I am living now the days I will long for when they are all grown and on their own. What a blessing to watch them…
