Pressing On

Went to bed at midnight last night cramming (but enjoying) for my bible study this morning. Also, last night, tried to pick out my clothes to cut down on morning hassle when that annoying voice comes…wear something that makes me look like I have it together… What does that outfit even look like?
Woke up to [...]


Green and Orange

Aunt Hannah was sweet to put these rubber balls for the boys in with a package for my birthday. Thank you! I was going to just send the video clip to her privately, but Kaelem’s impromptu kiss made me smile and thought the wide world would like it too. Crazy thing is, the balls corresponded [...]


Peas Porridge Cold

Actually, it’s just cold peas pureed. You should know that I have a pea aversion. Ick… never have liked those things. I’ve tried several different methods and tried to hide them in numerous casseroles and still…ick. The most tolerable way I’ve found so far though for frozen peas (don’t even think about canned peas), is [...]


Winter Retreat- Junior High

This time last year I was stuck at home for two weekends of February with a sick toddler and pregnant while Jed left town for the annual students winter retreats. To make it easier on parents, the two trips (junior high and senior high) were scheduled for the same weekend this year. While I am [...]


Holding Out

We’ve hit a regressive streak with Kaelem and his toilet training. Grrr. Not sure how it’s happened. Maybe that he can change clothes all by himself now, particularly Buzz Lightyear underwear? He’d been doing so well. I asked him today after the third or fourth “accident” what it was going to take to get him [...]


A Doll with Eyes

Recently, I’m not sure when exactly, Kaelem has become interested in dolls. While doing another closet clean-out I discovered a doll that I had made when I was 12 or 13 years old. It was probably my first sewing project ever…and as you can see…never completed. I was emotionally attached enough to take a picture, [...]


Valentine Sweetie Pie

Quincy wore this little red suit to church yesterday on Valentine’s. He had fun at the piano for the first time.


Samson

Reading about Samson during Bible story time tonight. Kaelem is usually attentive because he knows he’ll have to go to sleep when storytime ends. Quincy is also attentive as usual.


Bake Me a Cake

Just some pictures of the recent creations in the kitchen…and of my new ‘do.

The chocolate layer of the stars cake was theĀ  best and is called One Bowl Chocolate Cake III on allrecipes.com.


Quincy 6 Months!

Quincy boy is six months old. Even strangers are telling me how fast time flies. Stats? Well, he’s looking more and more like me (Sarah), so people say. I keep wondering what his hair is going to do. We’re still messing with the cradle cap and diaper rash. The doctor said the rash still looks [...]
