Spring is calling my name
This morning in our yard at dawn. {taken by Chief} Later today… Spring is calling my name. I am not going to let it slip through my {our} fingers. It’s one of the grandest times of the year, here in the South. This morning while eating my breakfast, I read this quote from Chief”s Progressive…
Our Easter Celebration
The coloring of the eggs – had to be one of my favorite activities this weekend. It was just Graham & I. I love those rare times alone with him. It’s such a treat. However, there were many more favorites this weekend. I sure wish my camera could capture the feeling of splendor we had…
pictures, mirrors, & limited letters
Wanted: 4 retail-like round mirrors for all corners of my house. Why? So I can keep better track of 30 little fingers. Because: they like these letters & thespacebar. areyoureadingmypain – here? a new keyboard has been ordered…but words will be few. because it takes twice as long to type. The shameful guilty duo. But…
learning patience
It seems like overnight we went from: “Mommy, can you help me?” to “No, I can do it myself!” Which is perfectly normal. In fact in my opinion, it is a little overdue. Like most kids {especially boys, so I’ve been told} that have younger siblings – he has “held on” to that toddler mindset…

Just wanted to say a quick hello! I’ve been working on some fun projects that I’ve been wanting to do FOR-Ever! So glad to finally start. But as with any project…it takes time. However, this little guy & I took a trip to Home Depot to get supplies. I promise, I did brush his hair before…
What night #4 & now #5 looks like ~ oh well.
As I am typing this post – this little girl is next to me. I mean, I just.took.this.picture. She didn’t even make it 1 hour in her bed alone. You see folks, she is not a crier. She is a SCREAMER. A roof raising screamer. I will swear hands down that she wakes up because…
unplugged…{sorta}
When Chief said, “Let’s veg out & rest for a few days” he didn’t have tell me twice. Especially for a request like this. We both have a sinus infection, his much worse then mine. Drilling & cutting into an almost 100 y.o. wall to repair it, just didn’t seem logical, with every dust particle…
