…with a new Goddaughter! Isn’t she beautiful?  And doesn’t Kristina look awesome?  How come I never looked that good before, during or after labor?!? Maria’s eyes light up this evening when I told her Savannah was born.  “Now Kristina finally has another girl in her family!” she proclaimed.

So… while my kick-ass husband took care of ALL FOUR of our sweet lil’uns this weekend, I flew East. While visiting here a few months ago, Katey and I had conspired to have a baby shower for our dear friend Kristina and surprise her with a visit from me.  Katey went home to work on [...]

It’s pretty quiet here.  The three older kids are watching the latest movie from the library and Sam is eating and playing at the table. Usually, this would be cause for a celebration – peaceful time for Mom.  But today I sit… depressed. Our wonderful, wonderful friends just left for their long trek back to [...]

Baptism

We traveled down to Tennessee over the weekend so we could be present for our new Goddaughter’s baptism.  It was a whirlwind trip, but well worth it.  I’m so thankful to Troy, Kyle and their family for letting us intrude during Kyle’s last few days before re-deployment. Zoë was baptized on Sunday and Kyle had [...]

On Monday, December 22, our Goddaughter was born!  She weighed in at 7 lb and 12 oz. and is 20 3/4 inches long.  Zoë Elizabeth is just the latest addition to this beautiful family. Jack, Maria, Luke and Sam are so excited, you’d think she was their own sister!  I guess this is as good [...]

Ripening

I don’t know if she gets it from her dad, her gran or her great-grandmother. She certainly doesn’t get it from me. It’s the art of “ripening.” Maria, who is the least shy little girl you’ll ever meet, brings out what shyness she has when putting on a new outfit. She wants to be notices, [...]

Tempting Fate

Desperate for something to do today, I took the kids to The Pottery Room with my Mom’s Club. Yes. You read that right. My kids… The Pottery Room. You know, one of those places with shitloads of breakable things different types of pottery pieces that you can paint? My kids didn’t break anything, so I’d [...]
