I guess this day has been easier than I originally thought- that’s not exactly what I’m thinking, but I don’t know any other way to write my thoughts. Maybe it’s been hard, but I have felt God’s grace all around. I have cried. My children have cried. I sat, with them all, in the blades of grass growing all around…

celebrating the 4th
Sweet summer memories…. Precious Jackson’s first slice of watermelon. We both were sticky- watching him eating watermelon would have been enough to make my whole day. (41. babies trying out their world for the first time…everything so amazing, so new) Be still, my heart. Ribs, macaroni and cheese, baked beans……men in my kitchen. Pure happiness.(42. family….how I love all…
Matthew and I, at Gigi’s
OK. So there is this little cupcake place. I don’t stop there often because it’s expensive and let’s be honest, this is the last thing I need. It did make for a fun outing with Matthew this week. Thus far, I’ve tried the Texas Milk Chocolate, Wedding Cake, and my favorite Dulce de Leche. Yum. Wow. Yum. (If you read…
Our Geese
The geese are back and the goslings are SO big. They grow so quickly. It’s fun to watch the parents caring for their big babies. The papas watch over their flock with the most careful attention. It’s been a great illustration for my children as to how careful a human papa has to watch over his family…always being vigilant. I…
This Week
First, thank you Aunt Judy! Your card arrived, of course, on a day when I most needed it. Yesterday, I mailed my mama’s hair off. I didn’t think it would bother me, but it did. In fact, I don’t think I made it out the door of the post office before the tears began to fall down my cheeks. You…
Randomness From Family Game Night
Battleship with Ben. Five Little Monkeys with the littles. Dutch Blitz with the older children (they taught me to play!!). I love Friday night with my children….they are loud and happy. I wish I could capture each and every moment of these days.
Family Game Night- March 8, 2013
Ben talks Grandmommy into Risk (I warned her….) and the littles playing Don’t Wake Daddy- Meredith REALLY enjoyed her ice cream…
Courtney
She said she’s wanted to try toting them both: They were all grinning!!
Transformers
When you think you’ve seen it all, this zooms down the interstate: Before you ask why I was snapping pictures and driving, my mom took these pictures from the passenger seat on the way to her doctor visit. Simply amazing….we’re not Transformers fans but this was neat!
A Little Happy…
I want one of these….please.
This Makes Me Smile
These are my favorite moments in life. The times when nothing really out of the ordinary is happening, but rather, the every day-really sweet moments happen. The things that most people overlook. The unplanned. The routine. Life is *beautiful*.
Another Driver
Yikes…THREE of our children are drivers!! Unbelievable. I’m convinced they are still three years old. I still feel too young to have children this age– especially three. (Don’t blow this for me by telling me you can see all the little lines on my face and gray hair….) I can’t stop time, and here I am, and here he is….…
