The Day I Met MckMama
ohmygoodness. Christmas is one week away!! Yesterday I completed all the Christmas worship orders on my ToDo list – Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Lessons and Carols…and they’re printed. On Tuesday, the kids and I finished up most of our Christmas shopping. Wednesday evening I made good progress with the children’s choirs and we *should* be [...]

Did you miss us?
Whoa… sorry for disappearing for a while. It’s been a full and lovely couple of weeks. I had hoped to blog more often – you know, since I’m sure you’re all waiting patiently for some more glimpses of the new wee one. But it just didn’t happen. I’ll try to get you all up-to-date. [...]

Pickles, Sleep, and Pictures
Both kids are napping and I’m finishing lunch – so I thought I’d give you all a quick update on life with toddler + baby. Ryan made a fantastically delicious meal last night…chicken parmesan, garlic cheese bread, and sauteed mushrooms. And he was thoughtful to leave the leftovers for us to eat today! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. The [...]

Go Ahead – Stick Your Butt Out

(and one of those five is actually after the due date, just in case.) Baby Houts is sounding “perfect and happy,” according to the doctor, with a strong heartbeat in the 140s. She’s twirling [...]

An Afternoon of Rest
Today, I left work after my late-morning meeting. I was feeling out of sorts, and I took it as a sign that I need to rest. So I am. I brought all my work home with me (as I do most days after working in the office), but I haven’t opened my bag. I changed [...]

The last month…in pictures
And what would a blog entry be without some funny stories? Tonight, Benjamin was munching on a couple baby carrots for supper. I told him that carrots help your eyes grow strong. So without hesitation, Benjamin sticks the carrot in his [...]

‘Member, Mom? ‘Member?
Long time, no bloggy. Sorry! I think about it almost every night…and just can’t find the energy. It’s mostly because I want to load some pictures & my camera cord is never in the same room (or on the same floor) as the laptop. So another blog without pictures…but I PROMISE that [...]
