What a wonderful weekend!

We had the best weekend! It was somewhat busy, but was SOOOO much fun!!
Saturday evening, of course, was the Father/Daughter dance at our church. This year the dance was called Hop With Your Pop and it was so much fun!! I got to go to take candid shots, so I got to be a small [...]

It’s Sock Hop Saturday!!

WOO HOO! It’s Saturday!! We love Saturdays around here because those are typically family days. Today is no exception. This morning Mickey has already been out for a run at the river and now we’re all hanging out at home for awhile. Okay, we’re not “just” hanging out, we’re also tidying up around home. As [...]

Praise Reports…

I am going to do better about updating my blog.

I am GOING to do better about updating my blog.
Seriously…I am.
I hope.
In all honesty, I have every good intention of writing more here, but the days are so busy lately. Life is good, in fact [...]

Busy Busy Busy…

This week is shaping up to be a busy one for me. Every day there is at least one “thing to do” on my Google Calendar. Good thing the calendar will send text messages to my cell to keep me on top of things. Most of this week’s activities are going to be [...]

Is it naptime yet?!

{{{Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn}}
Well, Mariana didn’t have a great night last night. That, of course, means neither did I. Not sure what was exactly wrong, but she didn’t sleep well. She woke up fussing/crying quite a few times through the night. She was a touch more congested than she had been, so maybe that was it.  I seem [...]

Our Recent Happenings…

Before I post about what is going on in our family lately, I am once again going to point readers over to MckMama’s blog called My Charming Kids. Sweet baby Stellan (aka MckMuffin) is still in need of prayer. So is his family. Please lift up this precious baby boy and those that love him.
In [...]

Praise the Lord!

How many times do we say “Praise the Lord” and never really think THAT much about the phrase itself? I know I’m guilty of it from time to time. There’s a parking spot near the door at Target? Praise the Lord. We already got Macey signed up for summer dance camp? Praise the Lord. Mickey [...]

It’s VBS Time Again…

Our church’s second VBS session is going this week. This time Macey is attending and I am the Crew Leader for her class. It’s so much fun!!
I have some book reviews and posts to catch up on and I will do that soon. But, for now I’m going to go enjoy some quiet time. [...]

Donations on a Dime…

As I stated in yesterday’s post, Macey is going to afternoon VBS at our church this week. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the kids are encouraged to bring in various donated items for several charitable organizations in our area. On Tuesday they brought in hygiene products, Wednesday was non-perishable grocery goods and today is baby [...]

Prayers for Kenya Mission

Our church just had a mission team depart for Kwambekenya, Kenya yesterday. They will be there performing God’s outreach until April 26th. It is my honor and privilege to be a Prayer Partner here at home for those who are serving in Africa. I had hoped to go on a mission trip to Africa [...]
