At bible study last Tuesday we were encouraged to search the scriptures and share with eachother what the bible had to say about "the cross." We were also encouraged, as we approach this Easter weekend to ponder what that means to us, what difference is there in our lives because of these truths.

I find it easy to brush over the Easter story ( Read more... )

Just in case anyone is still interested, I don't want to leave you hanging ( Read more... )

Yesterday (Day 4) didn't go as well as I'd hoped. Luke only slept 1hr. 45min. He was also pretty cranky but wouldn't go back to sleep. It amazes me though... when daddy gets home, his mood gets so much better! I guess he was a little bored with mommy. I sound pretty good with it now, but I was not so good with it yesterday ( Read more... )

I didn't get on yesterday to update on the napping situation. Ben was home from work (they closed the office for the first time ever since he's worked there) so I didn't get on the computer much. Luke stayed up until 12:30. He slept until 2:40. Not as great as yesterday, but not too bad ( Read more... )

Today went so much better than I expected. I kept Luke up until 12 o'clock this time. We made a quick run to Target for hubby's V-day gift, before the snow/sleet/whatever got too bad. Luke did get very sleepy in the car and may have nodded off a bit. But, once we got home he was great -- not even cranky! So at noon he was put in bed, and when I ( Read more... )

For the last three or four days Luke has been fighting his afternoon nap. He did this once before, and when we shortened his morning nap, things got better. Actually the afternoon nap became great! Well, he's started to do it again. This time shortening the nap is not working. When he does go to sleep, it's from 3-5ish, and it is starting to ( Read more... )

Luke's new curtains are up! Hooray!

They may need to be lined so that they will block out enough sunlight, but we hung them up this evening, so I'm not sure. We'll find out in the morning! Here's to hoping Luke sleeps a little later :)

What a winter for illness! I think I've been sick more often this winter than I have in the past few winters combined. Luke's in the same boat as I am, and his normally "I'm not sick - I just have a few symptoms" father has had his fair share as well. It seems like we'll get over one sickness and be well for a few days, and then one of us will get ( Read more... )

I'm up at 1 in the morning, but Luke is fast asleep. No, I'm not partying late on a Friday night. I have an ear infection. I haven't been to the doctor, since it just started this evening, but it's not too hard to tell what it is. (I've also had plenty of experience with them over the years) Does your ear hurt? Do you feel a lot of pressure? Does ( Read more... )

I don't have a lot of time -- in 5 minutes I have to get Luke up to go to his 1 year doctor's appt. But, I wanted to post that I'm starting a new bible study. It's a Beth Moore study called "Breaking Free: Making Liberty in Christ a Reality in Life." Now this is the first time I've ever done a Beth Moore study. I've heard that they are good, but ( Read more... )
