I’ve been feeling a little under the weather for the past few weeks. Nothing too bad, but definitely not normal. We thought it was probably time to confirm what we suspected: It looks like baby Lambert #11 will be joining our family in 2011! God is so good! Everyone here is excited. The younger children are already debating whether we…

Making Memories- Letters to Children
For some time, I’ve been writing letters to my children. These aren’t really on anything specific, just random thoughts, memories, things I want to share with each child. They each have baby books and I journal a lot- but these are more casual, I guess. Almost a conversation that I’m having with them at some future date. At the moment,…
1-2-3-4 Birthday Cake/ Mama’s Quicker Frosting
“Birthday season” is upon us. This is my absolute favorite birthday cake recipe! It’s pretty generic and can be adapted by adding nuts, or changing the flavoring just a bit. I love Paula Deen’s recipes anyway, but this is one of her best! 1-2-3-4 Birthday Cake 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 3…
Around the house…
Little boys playing in the woods… Tiny tots on the swing… A lazy kitty….

The saying goes “never leave a SUPERman behind”! ’cause you never know when a little sister will show up!!

Friday. I’m always a little unsure of Friday. It’s the week ending, the weekend beginning….I think our weekends aren’t like most. I hear folks going to the mall, watching movies, visiting with friends. Weekends here are almost like any other day (well, Saturday anyway!). We have chores to complete. The children and I may finish up some school work or…

Life is just hard sometimes. Last evening, we found these: Ben has been keeping them- a “momento” from his personal chicken. I knew he loved her- his big brothers said that he had been out earlier in the day to place a flower pot with some flowers he had picked where she had died. *sigh* He just seems so young…

It would seem summer is winding to an end. Though the days are still hot, hot, hot, the evenings are definitely feeling cooler. I think we’re only weeks away from opening the windows!! The house always smells so nice with fresh air. Before I forget, please be praying for my little nephew. I’m really not at liberty to discuss details,…
When the Chicken is Dirty….
What else do you do?? I walked into my guest bathroom to find this yesterday: *sigh* Boys. Boys. Boys. What more is there to say?? Jacob decided his rooster was dirty and needed a bath. Amazingly, the chicken didn’t peck him. He stayed very still…who knows maybe he enjoyed the whole thing. Jacob was proud afterward– the chicken now smells…
Friday Storm
Friday, a storm passed though that knocked our power off for a few hours. I felt myself beginning to grumble as we lit candles, and looked for a radio. Who wants to be inconvenienced with no air conditioning and no lights?! As the minutes passed, I think God whispered to my heart. I needed a little reminder that these are…
August Thoughts
Our 1st Cucumber- Butternut Squash just picked from the yard- Courtney studies for the last leg of highschool- Joshua doing the same- Can you believe we have TWO children graduating this year? Where did the time go? It only feels like a dream when I remember holding Joshua in my arms each morning. His little eyes would look so sleepy…
