Baby Talk and other Rememberies

August 20th, 2004 · Comments Off on Baby Talk and other Rememberies

I do plan on posting more about Joel’s car shopping experience at some point (he did buy the one I mentioned in my last post), and I also plan on posting about VBS at some point, but for now I have something else on my mind. I’ve heard it said that the first child gets […]

Working toward resolution…

August 4th, 2004 · Comments Off on Working toward resolution…

Joel’s almost found a replacement car at this point, but we’re trying to make sure it’s the one the Lord means for us to buy. He’s going back to the dealership today to make a final decision. If he gets it (or doesn’t), I’ll post more about it. At this point, I want to hold […]

If time is money, I’m awfully poor!

July 16th, 2004 · Comments Off on If time is money, I’m awfully poor!

Between family illness, various obligations, and a very recent car accident which totalled Joel’s car, I haven’t had much time to post anything. I’m only posting now to keep the site from being blank. 🙂 We’re hunting locally for a Honda Civic we like. That’s what Joel’s car was and he loved it. There are […]

One of those days

June 7th, 2004 · Comments Off on One of those days

There are some days when Alexis seems so grown up. Today is NOT one of those days. I woke up with Alexis standing next to me. She said she was going back in her room, so I said ok, and I got out of bed. I made my way to her room, at which point […]

Early Mobility

June 4th, 2004 · Comments Off on Early Mobility

Branwen took three steps to me yesterday. Eight and a half months old, and she’s starting to walk! It’s way too early. I still have things to baby proof! The girls and I are sick again. We all have colds. Alexis has the worst of it, though. She got the oral herpes virus – that’s […]

Trouble with a capital “B”

June 1st, 2004 · Comments Off on Trouble with a capital “B”

Alexis was such a sweet baby. She was really quite easy to deal with. I told people I would have loved to freeze her from the time she was about 5 months old till she turned about 11 months old and started walking. Then she started getting into more things and life got a little […]

Spring Beauties and a Mom’s Rite of Passage

May 8th, 2004 · Comments Off on Spring Beauties and a Mom’s Rite of Passage

First I have to show off my babies once more. 🙂 These were their separate Easter pictures, taken two days after Easter. The one of Alexis is pretty, and I love the one of Branwen. 🙂 In other news, I have reached true mother-of-multiplehood. Last week, Joel and I went to a Honda dealership, and […]

Cancer… and the ethics of chocolate

April 28th, 2004 · Comments Off on Cancer… and the ethics of chocolate

My grandfather definitely has lung cancer. The tumor is about 3cm, and they did a PET scan yesterday morning to see if there was any anywhere else in his body. We hope to hear the results tomorrow. In other news, Branwen has started eating applesauce in the morning, so she’s only nursing three times a […]

Manliness challenged

April 3rd, 2004 · Comments Off on Manliness challenged

The girls and I are all sick again, so we won’t be attending church tomorrow. The kicker is it’s once again my nursery day. I coordinate in our church nursery once a month, which basically means I’m the one standing at the desk receiving children, making sure everyone has security bracelets, pagers, etc., marking down […]
