Trying a New Look

Mini loves clothes and choosing her own outfits.  Today she wore a dress that my friend Faith made for her own daughter several years ago.  Faith was in a sewing craze and I remember thinking back then how much I wanted a little girl because her daughter looked so cute.   Now Mini is already [...]

How Not to Celebrate Your Birthday

Wow.  An entire week passed since my last post.  This week my mom was admitted in the hospital for reflux symptoms that she’s been dealing with for quite some time.  I went by to see her a lot, and I took the kids twice.  Now, let me tell you.  Both of my kids are like [...]

Prayer Request

Today we received sad news that a family in our youth group lost their dad after a long year battling cancer.  Please pray for this sweet, lovely family.  They relocated to our area for treatment last year and got plugged in right away.  It didn’t take long before us girl leaders fell absolutely in love [...]

W, X, Y, and Z

I’m wrapping up this alphabet meme that I started THREE MONTHS AGO.  On a scale of zero to ten, my boredom with this meme is somewhere between ten and ten thousand.  But here we are on the letter W, which is so close to the end! Whew. W is for Wednesday.  I love Wednesdays this [...]

Oops

Hi there.  In case you saw an old post that I wrote back in 1997 pop up in your blog reader, it was just a mistake that I published that again.  I went back to re-read some old posts last night and noticed that I needed to edit Max’s name in a few lines.  I [...]
