First I have to show this new mommy and Garrett photo. He’s getting so big! My buddy will be 2 in May and he’s talking like crazy and doing so much. I am excited about my hair here, I went to Laus Deo last week (see banner ad).:) It’s a bit darker which is nice. … Read more

Snow Storms and Sewing
What a weekend! The “storm of 2008” hit us hard and we are BURIED in show here in NE Ohio! I personally love it since it happened during the weekend. Our family was tucked safely inside. Usually something pretty major (and not good) has to happen in order for the world to STOP where everyone … Read more
Checking In
Sure enough. As soon as I wrote about everyone else getting sick, I caught the bug! It was rough last week and once again I was grateful my family lives nearby. In addition to Jim making supper, giving the boys a bath, etc, my mom also stepped in to help. I hate just lying around … Read more
More Snow Fun!
It’s another snow day here in OH! Gabe has no school (again) and the storm might not be good to drive in, but it’s great for playing! It’s wet snow which is perfect for packing and making forts, or any creative concotions you can think of. Today they built their first real snowman named “Zoom”. … Read more
Everyone is Sick!
This flu season is horrendous, people are dropping like flies! Our midday girl (Gina) has been in the hospital for over a week with pneumonia. Our entire staff has been bombarded with a bug of some sort and now Jim is down for the count! He went to the emergency room last night because he … Read more
Sledding and Singing
The snow is here! Today, we were able to take the boys sledding for the first time this winter. It was so much fun and even Garrett loved it! Jim even tried snowboarding. He lived in Florida his entire life and only moved north after we were married. So it’s neat to see him experience … Read more
Good Investment
It’s been about 4 months since we bought our treadmill. We waited years to even make the purchase because we wanted to be 100% sure we would actually USE it. You hear that pretty often, the workout equipment is used more for hanging clothes and collecting dust than it’s intended purpose.:) Well, I am happy … Read more
Soccer Mom
I am beginning to feel a competitive side of myself kick in. Gabriel brought home an entry form for Little League this year, but it only applies for kids who will be 7 by May 1. I am not happy! He won’t be able to participate because he is only 6. I don’t like that … Read more
I Loathe Laundry
. The stains, the piles, the never-ending quest to match the socks again….laundry is taking over my house! With 3 boys, Jim, and me it’s unbelievable how many garments we can go through in the course of a day. I realize that if I ever really try to conquer every last piece I will just … Read more
Talking Politics
There aren’t many things that can rile a person like the topics of religion and politics. Rightly so I suppose, it can hit at the very core of our being and each says a lot about who we are. I personally don’t like to discuss politics much because I know how personal and divisive it … Read more
