I am not sure what I was thinking exactly on this particular day, but I was feeling the extreme pressure of knowing that school was going to start in a week, Open House was 3 days away, and I had not done any school shopping for my children yet. Mainly because I had been hesitant [...]
Hello Everyone, Thanks for your patience through the summer. I know it was a long dry spell from the beginning of July to the end of August. I had my hands full with all 4 of my kids home and I was babysitting for another one as well. We just kicked back, played, read, went [...]
My sister Rachael came to town for a visit and whisked me and the 4 kiddos off to Myrtle Beach for the week. Unfortunately, Dave had to work, so it was just us girls and the kids hitting the beach. Usually we hit the beach in the AM and then after lunch, while the little [...]
This past week Alex was at VBS at Stonebridge Community Church. He had a great time and loved learning and singing and the memory work. One day, after he had gotten in the car and we were driving home he said, “Mom, I have two best friends. Do you know who they are?” After guessing [...]
About 4 weeks ago Dave and I went to a conference in Orlando without any kids. I allowed myself the luxury of taking a book that had been highly recommended by Allyson Hodges, our worship guy’s wife. She did warn me, as others did, that I needed to be prepared to be sucked into Twilight [...]

Out of the barage of images last week, this one is the most symbolic to me. This is the one that gives me hope. Not because Obama is a rock-star, or a messiah, or a perfect world leader, or the first African American president, but because of Who this country places her trust in. On [...]
Today, Alex had hernia surgery at Northeast Medical Center/Jeff Gordon Children’s Hospital. He did really well and is now home resting. Mom (me) was a little nervous about the anesthesia, but all went well and he is fine. He was so hungry and I told him he could have whatever he wanted after the surgery. [...]
Today I gave blood for the first time in many years. I really have a good excuse; I have been pregnant or nursing off and on for the past 10 years! A little nervous after reading the huge book of Red Cross and Mad Cow legalease, I sat in the chair and waited. It turns [...]
