On the go
Home
It’s always good to come home. We got home from a fun weekend with family and friends last night to the cool air, grilled burgers, fragrance of vanilla, and a tad bit of laundry. Spurgeon’s words bring cheer to my heart this morning, and I cling to the thought of my eternal Refuge [...]
Bring on the groceries!
My absolute favorite grocery store is Publix. All of us have our favorites I guess, and I’ve never really been one to get too attached to particulars. Publix, however, just has so many benefits and little nice things that make it likeable. The stores are rarely dirty or disorganized, and the employees [...]
Sleep
Sleep is a g-r-e-a-t thing! I always feel like a totally new person after I have a newborn who begins “sleeping through the night.” Despite the fact that Shepherd is a near-perfect baby in the middle of the night, I rise this morning feeling rejuvenated because he slept from eleven to five, giving [...]
Florida
We had a great visit to FL last week to see many friends from our former congregation, attend a wedding, and hear a fabulous concert from the youth choir. It was a great trip, and I just couldn’t get over how big all of the kids seem to me now! Wow. I didn’t [...]
Emilyweek ‘08!
Last year I flavored up my blog with a series of posts about my friend Emily’s visit with her kids to town to see us. It was such a great trip, and this past week we had another “Emilyweek” at our house! Actually it wasn’t at our house because we stayed at the [...]
Mandatory Confrontation
Dear House,
You know I love you. And you know it’s dangerous when anyone starts a conversation with that.
Oh, my dear house, I am sorry that I have neglected you this week, but it needs to be said: “I can’t take you anymore right now. I need some space.” [...]
Greetings from the beach
Hello from the beach! I’m stopping in for a quick visit from a fabulous little family vacation. My husband, kids, and I are enjoying a much needed break from everything and having a wonderful time staying at the house of some friends in our church. God is so good to us. [...]
Good Birthday
Thanks for the birthday greetings, everyone. It was a great day for me. First, I woke up, and on the 5th of February it felt like the 5th of May! Yahoo! It was a beautiful, warm, breezy day where I live, and that was wonderful because I have always wanted [...]
Updates
I’m so glad I posted the baby food post. I got some good ideas and tips from the comments! I haven’t been posting much in the last several days because I’ve been glued to my computer for work. I finished some relatively heavy coding and design projects, though, and got the modified [...]
Yay for Family Vacations!
I plan to finish the rest of my posts related to my thoughts on joy tomorrow. I took a break from blogging them because I took a break from everything! Eric, the kids, and I took a spontaneous “Fall Family Vacation” to the mountains of NC for a couple of days, and the [...]
