Ok so it was about 10:30 a.m. and amazingly I was working on the post for today after writing tomorrow’s post when everything came to a stop – Most of you know that I absolutely despise our house for about five million different reasons – if I had had a say in it this house never would have been purchased BUT it was purchased before I even knew Aaron with the help of others (and I am not talking about his family — they agree with me). Also, we tried to list the house for sale about four years ago and the realtor laughed at us – we would have had to have the house rebuilt or so he said…so we stay put and don’t list the house. Fast forward a … Read entire article »

So today was just one of those days – apparently I could not figure out how to tell time, I didn’t get all the errands ran and I forgot about various things even when I should have remembered… First – today is Papa Greg’s birthday! HAPPY BITHDAY PAPA GREG!! We all love you very much and cannot wait to spend the weekend with you next weekend, even if it didn’t seem so much like that tonight. (This is where my memory gets me in trouble – I actually made it to the Hallmark store today – yeah we will get to that in a minute, and then I forgot to give Papa his birthday and Father’s Day cards…I will get those to you Papa, I promise!) Also, the poor man suffered … Read entire article »

Ok ladies before I talk about how I failed over the last week I want to talk about something that I did tonight JUST FOR ME…yep you heard me right JUST FOR ME and I had the time of my life! I will be doing this every Wednesday night after bible study until it no longer happens! I watched a live streaming “TV” show on MomTV call The Spin Cycle by Extraordinary Mommy  – some of you may recognize her as she is the person who had her family picture stolen and put in a grocery store ad in the Czech Republic. It was in the news recently. Anyway I stumbled upon this show long before that happened and I loved the show and Danielle (Extraordinary Mommy). I even got … Read entire article »

October 13, 2008: Now: Last night Aaron and I were working on his post for Grown In My Heart and looking back to when we met Little Man and Little Princess, complete with pictures. We made this crazy long list of all the things that they do that make us laugh or cringe or even that are 100% them… We talked about the foster parents and how much they loved them and how we want to take them back to see the foster parents some day. How is it that eight months have went by so fast? How is it that they have changed so much? How is it that our love for them grows more everyday when we think that we love them with everything already? We love … Read entire article »

(At the end of the day this is what a portion of my living room looked like…sad huh???) It is back…our power is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMEN….I loved the break BUT need a way to keep food cold and lights for well after 8:30 p.m. when it is so dark in our house that there is little you can do! I kept the kids home all day today, just because we had been on the go all weekend. They loved it and played all day…I personally think they loved not having to go anywhere! I started working on Little Princess’ dress for my sister’s wedding which has been moved up to September 26th — so we will see! I love everything I bought to make the dress for less than $30 (had … Read entire article »
