Lydia
Letting Go
As parents surely we do this more times than we like. No one likes to talk about it really because it can be a yucky part of life. I’m certainly not the first to think about this subject, and I have written about it in the past. The last several days God [...]
Strength and Glory
I just have to post this. This morning the kids have been playing and having a movie marathon while I work on some web design stuff. Lydia comes over to me and says, “Mommy, just look at Meredith. She’s so cute. She’s just adorable, isn’t she?”
I look over at [...]
Hello!
I walked by the toy box this morning after breakfast and saw the lid popping open and shut…
Remembering
Lydia concentrates at the table so hard. She is trying with all of her might to connect the bottom “leg” of the letter “R” to the middle point. She keeps missing it. She kicks her chair and starts crying.
“Mommy, I just can’t make it!’” she exclaims in frustration.

Yes, she strikes again… the curious hand of my little sweet Lydia. I don’t know if I would call it [...]
Is this our real home?
The main reason I’m posting this is because I print my posts, and I want to be able to read it later.Yesterday was the first time Lydia and I had a pretty “substantial” discussion about heaven. I really don’t remember how we got on the subject, but anyway, I was on the floor beside [...]
Happy Birthday Lydia!
Lydia is now our sweet three year-old!
We had a party for her at home, and it was a great time. I don’t have any pictures yet because our camera broke (I know! What a terrible time for it to break!) But no worries, my mom let me borrow hers until we can buy the canon [...]
Finished!
I finished the last few stitches of Lydia’s quilt today during the kids’ naps. Although I decided late one evening to make it easy on myself and just make plain blocks instead of the complicated ohio-star/applique butterflies that I envisioned in my mind, I am very happy with it and can’t wait to put it [...]
