Battery Storage

Tracy / February 12, 2014

I am constantly buying batteries. I don’t think we actually even use them much unless the power is out– somehow, every single time we need them, they are in short supply. We’ll find them later. It’s been very frustrating! This is an idea I first saw on Pinterest. I knew it would work great for our family…my issue has been…

He Has a Shiner

Tracy / February 12, 2014

It was Benjamin vs. Jackson.  (I’m NOT kidding.) I know every man reading this is probably snickering.  Me, not so much. When Ben came and told me Jackson (ONE YEAR OLD JACKSON), hit him in the eye yesterday, he said it was hurting but it didn’t seem that bad.  How hard could a 1 year old actually hit someone? Boys.

Joshua’s 20th Birthday

Tracy / February 12, 2014

My oldest son is 20. My heart swells a bit when I look at this young man. I remember feeling unworthy for such a sweet blessing the night I had him. It was late. Paul was asleep in the hospital room.

Tracy / February 12, 2014

Some time ago, we shared a birthday gift we made for the daughter (well, one of them!), of our sweet friends, the Johnson family.

Sickness slows us down, but can’t stop the progress. We still don’t have a date set for the actual appraisal, but my due date is quickly approaching so I’m trying to find a place to stop while I welcome our new little one. This week (well, actually at the end of last week), our contractor finished hanging our drywall. He…

Butterflies…

Tracy / February 12, 2014

First, to the Dixon family… I’m SO sorry for buying this for your little one’s birthday. I had NO idea the butterflies themselves would be an additional expense. That was disappointing. I had also ordered one for Benjamin for Christmas. He received his caterpillars in the mail a few weeks back. I had no idea they would arrive so quickly,…

We’re Here…

Tracy / February 12, 2014

I’m posting updates to this page, from the last few days, in the next few posts. We are still under-the-weather. I think Jess and I are the ones still coughing quite a bit. I will be SO glad not to cough. It’s amazing how you take your everyday health for granted. I am thankful for very good friends who have…
