We’ve quickly learned some of her tendencies, which has helped us to know how she may… Read More »
Meet the newest edition to our family. This beautiful Pembroke Welsh Corgi is Daisy. Some of you may recognize her if you read Tracy’s blog. I “met” her when I started doing the Mommytography project. She commented on my header, which you’ll notice has a Corgi on it. I responded in saying that we were… Read More »
What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before? Went to Oakland Cemetery for a PhotoWalk Did you keep your new years’ resolutions and will you make more for next year? I didn’t write any down this year. One of the main ones was to read 1 book a month, which I will… Read More »
I’ve had this post about half way done for awhile and am finally making myself finish. We did our traditional sleepover for Drew’s birthday. 8 boys came this year.

I went through all 11,000 pics I took last year! I narrowed it down to about 90 something and then had to choose from there. It was fun and a bit challenging. As an “artist” I think we get attached to certain pictures for one reason or another. I tried not to just post the… Read More »
I have a box of old T-shirts that the boys have grown out of that I just couldn’t bare to throw or give away. Since I’ve been trying to do more sewing, I decided it would be great to take these old T-shirts and make something ‘memorable’ and/or ‘usable’ out of them. The first attempt… Read More »

Last Sunday we attended the contemporary service at church, my favorite! We also visited a Sunday school class, Footsteps. We had started visiting classes last year, but never got to finish trying some others out.

I have a personal prayer request. I’m not one to ask for help normally, but when times are tough and you feel you have no where else to turn God is the answer. I need you to ask God to help Rob and me with our financial future. We continually hear about the devastation of… Read More »
It seems that nearly every blog I read today shows people having fun in the snow. Well, either that or they’re sick of it! The thought of snow here…well in 70 degree weather, I don’t see it happening anytime soon. And if it does it surely won’t stick because the ground is so warm. Last… Read More »
