Life is full. In just about every sense of the word! For many weeks, obviously, I’ve had just enough energy and motivation at the end of the day to put both kids in bed, throw a load of laundry in the washer, straighten up the living room, lock the front door, and maybe change into [...]

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. [...]

Soon?
I’ve made it through another week of children’s choir rehearsals without going into active labor. That’s a good thing. There are 66 children in the choirs this year, which is awesome and incredible! It’s a 264% increase from last year and I’m thrilled. There are 37 little ones in the K-2 choir, and 29 students [...]

We’re not friends. We’re pirates.
Welcome to the home stretch. Baby Houts is almost here! And I’m almost ready. We have the blankets (dozens and dozens), a package or two of diapers to start us off, and a surprising number of clothes. The borrowed bassinet is in our room, the car seat is ready to be installed in my car, [...]

Go Ahead – Stick Your Butt Out
I had one of my final doctor’s appointments today. We’re down to counting on one hand…five more scheduled appointments until D-day! (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 [...]

Need Popcorn.
Benjamin spent today at home, sick with a sore throat and a barky cough. When he woke up this morning and walked in our room, the first thing he did was touch his throat and say, “Owie.” He was hoarse last night before bed, so I wasn’t surprised. He sounded much better tonight after drinking [...]

“Easter Bunny: Come In!!!
Happy Easter! It was a beautiful, partly sunny Easter day. I got up and did my normal Sunday-morning-routine …although I couldn’t help thinking of all the sunrise services I’ve either played for, attended to, or participated in… and felt like something was missing this Easter. Our church didn’t have a sunrise service this year; but [...]

It tastes pink.
As I watch President Obama on “The Tonight Show,” I thought I’d offer a few quick updates. Quite honestly, I’ve not been interested in blogging lately…and that’s about it. That’s why there have been no blog posts. But hopefully the updates will explain more… Benjamin turns 2 years old in just a month! Whoa! [...]

No TV for You.
I swear, one of these days I’ll get back in the rhythm of things. My blogs have been few and far between lately. Maybe it’s the weather, huh? Enough of this spring-tease-with-temps-over-40 and the next day winter-storm-with-6-inches-of-snow. I mean – really!! But our family is pretty excited to go on a snow and/or sledding [...]

So…I’ll bet you’ve been wondering…
…what we’ve been up to, huh? Sorry for the break from blogging. Thanks to all who’ve reminded me that they do read this, and that I’d better post again soon. This post will be short and sweet, because it’s almost midnight – but I promise to write more soon. All is well with [...]
