About sleep…
I am staying up much too late. I am exploring the blogosphere, something I rarely do, but something I so want to do (I should be prepping my tax stuff – yuck!!!) I ran acrossSleeping Mommy tonight. I have to copy and credit her witty tagline, \”If sleep deprivation is an effective form of torture [...]
7 Weeks 'til "D" Day!
Due date that is! It’s the final countdown and the innate drive to “nest” is in full swing! I am reminded nearly every moment that the time is drawing near. I am trying to focus on the pregnancy, and enjoy it. This may be the last time I experience the kicks and hiccups within my [...]
The Belly Button
I read a post by Mom in the Mirror. She called it, That Belly Button. I loved it and now evertime I see my children\’s belly buttons, I just get mushy about it! It is a special privilege and bond I\’ll always have with my children, however close to the edge they take me:) I [...]
Looking Back – Quarter 4 – 2004
Now is a good time to reflect on the past year. I wonder why we felt we were so busy? October started with another weekend with mom away… I couldn\’t miss the fall scrapbook retreat! Oh, my husband is a saint! October marked the beginning of meeting with a group of about 10 teens at [...]
Looking Back – Quarter 3 – 2004
Now is a good time to reflect on the past year. I wonder why we felt we were so busy? July brought more family visits. My Grandma Myra came for a week-long visit. Hubby\’s Grandma, Aunt and Uncle also came out from Tennessee. We spent the 4th with our friends Darren and Sara in Bellingham. [...]
Looking Back – Quarter 2 – 2004
Now is a good time to reflect on the past year. I wonder why we felt we were so busy? April provided some much needed down time. No visitors or big trips. Joel took swim lessons and Paul got a bunch of tickets to see the Mariners play – through October! In May… Livi turned [...]
Looking Back – Quarter 1 – 2004
Now is a good time to reflect on the past year. I wonder why we felt we were so busy… In January… we spent Christmas and New Year\’s Eve with my parents in Colorado. I split my \”momness\” between 2 MOPS groups through June (burned out a bit). Both kids clapped and sang in Music [...]
Always a story to tell…
3 days after Christmas Paul, the kids and I packed our things and headed to a camp near Mt. Baker. My husband was asked to speak at a youth camp. There were about 100 junior and senior high school kids from 4 different youth groups. We were looking forward to the mountain get-away, some snow [...]
Coudn't Stop Myself…
Well, I did it. I mailed a Christmas picture card. It was actually quite simple compared to years past. Paul and chose the pics. Paul organized them to fit in the Costco picture card format. We sent it (technology can be wonderful) and I picked up the cards the next afternoon. While watching a movie [...]
Annual Christmas Letter or Not…?
My New Year’s resolution for 2004 was to SLOW DOWN… As I review this past year I see I missed the mark – by choice and other times by circumstance… I am still debating whether to write a Christmas letter, or to simply direct all who are interested to my blog. Our year was just [...]
