I hate to give away my age, but last weekend I celebrated a birthday. A significant one. To double ease the pain, my dear husband flew our entire family out to Utah so we could celebrate by attending his brother’s wedding. Nothing like getting someone else to pay for the party! It seems to be [...]

I have the highchair. (Bought today.) I have the bowls. (Bought today.) I have the spoons. (Bought today.) I have the rice cereal. (Bought today.) I have a baby that is clearly ready for food. (As demonstrated last night during dinner.) What I don’t have is the desire. He might be ready, but I’m not. [...]

Our baby has been baptized! At first, I was disappointed that none of our family members could make it here for the baptism of our fifth child. Then, I realized, our family did make it! The Remicks were able to come a few days early, so we managed to spend some quality time together. (More [...]

At 5:55 a.m. 8 years ago today, this little guy was born, changing our lives completely and forever. Who would have thought that we’d love him so much that we’d end up with FOUR MORE?!? I can’t believe 8 years have gone by… it just doesn’t seem possible. I hope time will slow down a [...]

Confessions of a Lumberjack

Haha. Not really. But I thought it was a good title! Seriously, though, last weekend, Jack celebrated his First Reconciliation, or First Confession. We were very proud of him, as it’s pretty nerve-wracking to pour all of your 7-year-old sins out to a priest. We were not so proud of our other three, who had [...]

Maria graduated from kindergarten today. In the fall, during the first open house/teacher conference, Maria’s teacher told me, “I’d take a hundred Maria’s.” Within a few weeks of that, Maria had been “red-carded” several times and started a behavior chart to help keep her in line. Thankfully, it worked and she pretty much sailed through [...]

We have a lot going on as the school year winds down. Jack has graduated in Boy Scouts from being a Bobcat to being a Tiger Cub. We missed the ceremony due to a conflict, but he has received all his official pins and badges. (Meaning more sewing for me… unless Katey wants to come [...]
