We found a caterpillar… climbing up a leaf… creeping…reaching… but swiped by a “thief”. Grasp didn’t last, dropped on this lil’ guy. So we found another bug… poor doomed dragonfly. {The end}
Health Rules!
For the latest on my 100 Days to Health, click here. And if you’ve joined the madness adventure…how the heck are you doing? Speaking of health… I gave a talk to about 400 ladies over a period of 2 days {during my lean & fit *BC years} at Youth Haven Ranch for their “Ladies Day” […]
Girlfriends
Never before have the friends in my life been as dear to me as they are now. Friends have always been fun. Vital, if you wish. But today, as a young woman fumbling my way through this crazy season of motherhood, the connectedness I share with the precious girlfriends in my life is such a […]
My Husband Rocks!
{need I say more?}
Monkey See, Monkey Do
It’s true what “they” say…children are like sponges, they absorb whatever surrounds them. Or something profound like that. This can be a phenomenally useful tool…or a devastatingly sad truth. It never ceases to amaze me how much of the behavior I find unacceptable or annoying coming from my daughter, was learned inadvertently from me. The […]
Our Air Show Adventure
What do you do to celebrate the 1st birthday of a little boy who’s just beginning to soar? Why…the local air show, of course! My parents joined us as we headed out to the airport. Having never been to anything like this, we had no idea what to expect. Despite missing the pancake breakfast {we […]
Delicious Homemade Pasta Sauce
Little Cherry started like this… giving us the odd little ‘mater every day or so. Today our cup overfloweth… This was Cherry’s contribution today alone. Needless to say, I love Cherry. A lot. She did the same thing a few days ago…that whole “more than we know what to do with” thing. Add those to […]
Happy Birthday, Baby Bug!
One year ago today, you entered our lives…precious, beautiful, and a whopping 10 pounds, 6 ounces. Words cannot express the delight we experienced holding you that first day. I couldn’t imagine a better addition to our family. God hand-picked you for us, and us for you. What a brilliant thing, sweet boy. We celebrate the […]
The Race is On!
While helping daddy build shelves in the garage, Bug gets the itch to ride wild. And {practically} naked. The solo race commences. And ends. Uneventfully. For racing solo is horribly boring. Enter {half naked} big sister. And they’re off. She’s in the lead… with baby Bug speeding up in the rear. […]
This is Juicy
My daughter has been drinking… this substance of out-of-this-world nutritious deliciousness. And that is exactly what is in it: carrots, apples, a chunk of ginger. That’s it. I decided it was time to dig our beloved juicer out from the depths of the “moldy pile” we’d left it in when unpacking our stinking storage unit […]
