Today he’s one. Tomorrow he’ll be driving me around town. Today he rides in his car seat narrating all he sees in baby babble and singing his own made up songs. Tomorrow he’ll be having his wisdom teeth pulled. Today he went to the dentist for the first time. Tomorrow he’ll eat more hamburgers than… Read More Tomorrow He’ll Be Sixteen
Once again, the Horkavys declared last Saturday “Statewide Stephen Day” in honor of Stephen’s birthday. Last year they took us on a mystery drive to Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona. This year Flagstaff was our destination. We’ve been wanting to explore Flag for a while now, so this was perfect. All seven of us piled… Read More Statewide Stephen Day
Like billions across the globe, we watched the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony Friday night–the entire 4 hour broadcast! I have to say that the best part was from the beginning up through Rowan Atkinson’s performance of Chariots of Fire. After that it became a test of endurance. (Was anyone else amazed that the drummers… Read More 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony
Although our library is quite small (it’s about the size of half our home) they’ve offered some kids’ programs this summer, including a reading program. We enrolled Silas as “pre-reader” which meant he got a sticker for every day that we read a book to him. Since we always read him a bed time story,… Read More Summer Reading Program
I’m excited to be halfway to my due date! Baby is kicking and squirming a lot. He’s strong enough that I can see and feel the kicks. Silas likes to kiss my belly when we talk about his baby brother. So happy this little Moody will be part of our family soon!
We decided to throw a patriotic party–not on the 4th of July. Everyone has plans for the 4th, right? So we planned it for as soon after the Fourth as we could. We invited some friends from church, and decked the kitchen (and ourselves) in red, white, and blue. Over the doorway hung a star… Read More A Patriotic Party
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels. ~Hebrews 13:2 Wednesday night, supper was on the table, I was tired from a long day with a sick baby, and Stephen called on his way home from work. “Hey, I have an opportunity for you,” he said. Our pastor… Read More To Entertain Strangers
Yesterday was the big day! Stephen and I discovered that we are expecting another boy! We are so excited and happy to finally know Baby TicTac’s gender. Although we would have loved to have a girl, we were both hoping for another boy so Silas would have a little brother. I told my dad yesterday… Read More Happy News
July 2nd came and went without me realizing Silas turned 20 months. It’s the first month I’ve forgotten to take mental note of his getting a month older. I suppose that’s a sign that Silas is definitely not a baby any more, but a toddler. And a big brother toddler at that. July 3rd we… Read More July Beginnings
Silas shows off his skills. Go, Bitty Boy!
