We took Monkey and her cousins to see Wall-E on opening day, and I don’t know who was more excited - Daddy or the kids.
The first 30 mins had no - I mean NO - dialog … yet even Monkey felt sorry for the robot when sad things happened to him. That is amazing animation […]
Today after VBS we all piled in the car and headed to Brunswick Zone, which is basically a bowling alley on crack. They have about 50 lanes of bowling, laser tag, pool tables and an arcade. I thought this would be a good idea because Monkey has never been bowling, and I had a coupon, […]
Yesterday was the start of Vacation Bible School and I have to say, they really should rename this organized chaos. I thought I was ready. I had prepped the crafts for my classes, read through the instructions a thousand times, and I had even woken up early to go through every thing in […]
We had a baby shower for one of the MOPS mommies that sat at our table last year. We have all stayed friends and when I do get out of the house without kiddos, it is usually with one of them.
We had to wake Monkey up from a much needed nap to go to […]
Yesterday, all I wanted to do was stay in my pajamas and hang out with Monkey. It was cloudy outside and I wanted to wallow in my own sadness about our marriage issue, but God had another plan. I received a call that I was needed to help prep the crafts for VBS and even […]

For Fathers Day, we had a full day. Daddy worked all morning with the neighbor to install our fence so Bluto could run around in our yard (and not everyone elses). He took a break to go to Monkeys swim lesson and then it was off to the Parker Country Festival. This […]
There isn’t a news report that goes by without mention of the midwest, and the storms they are suffering. The rain is so bad there, miles and miles of houses have been completely flooded out. While these families are suffering and mourning their losses, I can’t help but wonder how these families remain […]
Over the last few weeks I have realized that Trav’s constant need to come up with a ‘plan B’ is actually a good quality. I have always had the mindset that if you make a plan, stick to it and see it through to the end. When would a plan B become necessary?
However, with summertime […]
As I scrubbed the dirt and grime off of my bathroom sink, I began to realize that a day like this cleans more than just the countertops and floor, but it also cleans out my heart.
Today, I was given the chance to reflect on all that happened with those precious children in my family, and […]
