My two little mailmen delivered cards to me this morning. Silas chose a Superman card for me (because, as you know, I love all things Superman). He drew a picture of me and a ninja climbing into a city. I’m glad Silas has recognized my superpowers. Cooper’s card, on the other hand, had some cute little… Read More Mommy’s Day
It happened! We got our first stitches last night. Stephen and Cooper were at home while Silas and I attended Kids4Truth at church. Cooper ran head long into our padded ottoman and still managed to score a gash above his right eyebrow. It bled a lot, but once Stephen cleaned it up and gave Coop… Read More First Stitches
I bought the boys a new swimming pool and set it up in the back yard. They’ve been swimming and soaking their clothes when playing outside.I love having a patch of grass and a finished yard. Just today some friends came over and helped Stephen set up the sand box again. The boys played for… Read More Recently…
After returning home from Portland, Stephen left on a business trip to Atlanta, Georgia for a few days. He was gone for 4 days and 3 nights, and we managed to stay alive in his absence. Go us! Of course we missed Stephen and couldn’t wait for his return, but I was surprised that I… Read More Comings and Goings
My man and I took a babymoon last month. Babymoon=honeymoon trip without kids before Baby is born (just in case you’re not familiar with the term). We visited Portland for the first time! We stayed downtown in the Hotel deLuxe, which was not only charming, but convenient as it allowed us to walk most places… Read More Escape to Portland

Stephen and I just got back from a couple’s getaway in Portland, Oregon, while the boys were graciously taken care of by friends. Silas desperately wanted to buy me a birthday cake and kept asking questions… Read More My Birthday Babies
I recently came across St. Patrick’s prayer both through a music CD and a luncheon at a church we were visiting. It’s so beautiful that I wanted to post it here to celebrate St. Patrick’s day and to encourage my heart to make this my prayer. Here is an excerpt from the prayer: I arise… Read More A Prayer for St. Patrick’s Day
I’ve been thinking of a couple blog posts I could write but just haven’t felt motivated to do it. So, here I am just catching you up on the exciting news that is our daily life. I think the less structured the post is, the more chance I have of actually finishing it today. The other… Read More Just Some Happenings
Tombstone, AZ was our destination for a day trip as we stepped back in time for some cowboy history on Valentine’s Day. Tombstone was impressive since so much detailed history is known and preserved. We walked along the boardwalk with our two little sheriffs. At the OK Corral we learned about the famous shootout and the… Read More A Cowboy Valentine’s Trip
Ever since we were given our first onesie for Baby Girl, Cooper has been noticing hearts and pointing them out to me. At first, hearts were just for Baby Sister since the onesie has a heart on it. With Valentine decorations everywhere, hearts have been easy for him to spot. I found these adorable felt… Read More Valentine Hearts
