The stars are shining bright on this summer evening in Alabama. It’s actually relatively cool, with a slight breeze. It seemed so perfect to build a little fire and gather the children. I had gathered chocolate bars, graham crackers and marshmallows a couple of weeks back. Kudos to Nabisco for making s’more size graham cracker packages! Nice! It’s been…

Lyle
Look who wandered up on to our porch last week… I wasn’t quite ready for a new pet. We lost Gracie just a couple of weeks back– she was a loved kitty. I guess the Lord saw fit to deliver this new little one right to our door. The children found him with a water dish and a napkin with…
So Tired…
Meredith at church….
CAP Encampment
Don’t mind me this week, I’ll just stay here in this corner and pout for just a while. I may be feeling just a *little* sorry for myself. Of course, I know it’s not about me….it’s about him. He is growing up. He’s a man. He’s doing man things now. Jacob is at CAP encampment all week. When we dropped…
Happy Sunday!
We dropped by after church to visit with my Grandmother yesterday. She was confused, speaking of my grandfather and his visits, but having a good day. We enjoyed helping her play BINGO in the lunchroom. I think her friends there enjoy our visits, too. Yesterday, one of the ladies there was insistent the children would eat one of her chicken…
Growing…
Courtney has been so good to snap photos for me this last week. She took the pictures of the geese, and these… Gardenias, roses, and veggies- all growing and blessing our family. I love to watch the earth produce such beautiful, wonderful things!
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…

Septic Tank
Ahhh….you all know I love you!! We can share everything, right? (Well, most things! *smile*) So many of our projects were placed on hold for the last several months. I just needed to focus my attention on my mama. That doesn’t mean those things weren’t important, or necessary. They just had to wait a bit. Well, this last week, the…
Matthew and Grandmother
I had such a great visit with my grandmother today. We chatted an afternoon away. I polished her nails, I met more of her friends, I listened as a few different people came up to talk with her. They all call her “Ms. Sunshine”. I love that! She was in a good mood, though quite confused today. She told Matthew…
Meredith Grace
My golden-headed girl with curls. Her hair takes on a life of it’s own…. I think it’s quite possible to predict the weather by her curls. 😀 Paul has always had curls. I wonder if his mother must have thought it was beautiful when he was little…I am absolutely in love with her hair!
