Man it's been forever. The last time I wrote I was still pregnant with Allyson, 6 weeks or so away from having her I guess. So FAST update ( Read more... )

Ok well this will be a short update....I haven't been on here in forever, and as far as I know no one reads this anyway so no biggie. Things are well. Jake is growing like a weed! He's almost 18 months now and talking up a storm, not all of it makes sense but he's trying. Brett's in first grade...I know right, first frickin grade. He's way too ( Read more... )

It's a little after 3:30am here, my kids are asleep, my husband is asleep. Despite my better efforts I am not sleeping like them. It's not that I have a ton on my mind, or am stressed or anything like that. I've just screwed up my sleeping pattern since I've been sick and now that I'm not a zombie I cannot seem to get to sleep before at least ( Read more... )

It's a HUGE event where runners and walkers from all over the world (the winners for the last 5 years have been from Kenya) participate in a 10K run/walk.

Each year I've set up the Advent wreath, and placed the candles in the appropriate places, ready to light the first one after church. That first Sunday is the Sunday of longing, of expectation, in which we begin to look forward to the birth ( Read more... )

I was sitting in the living room with Jacob, hearing Brett snoring in the other room. On the TV was the Christmas tree lighting in Rockafeller center and Carrie Underwood sang a song that I really liked. Everyone seems to get too caught up in the material things at Christmas and we forget what it's about I guess. I'm just as guilty of it too, ( Read more... )

People need to be more responsible, and we need to get a lawyer.

I survived the holiday unscathed....woo hoo. It was the first year in a long time that there were no fights, I think part of it had to do with my mother working untill 3 and not being there most of the day. I know that is horrid, and she is my mother, but it's honest. I ate too much, BIG suprise there huh. It's mandatory I think, you eat the ( Read more... )
