Awake.
At 3am.
With the sudden reality check that Caterpillar will be here in three months. That’s just three more paychecks before the little one is here, and we’ve yet to do anything. We haven’t started his room, haven’t bought any clothes or a car seat. Haven’t done anything. I guess my thought […]
As I had mentioned before, I have been uneasy about the whole preschool thing… which is starting very soon. But, after a lot of prayer and thought, it is starting to occur to me that it could be more than just being sad about Monkey getting so big. Rather, deep down I could […]
My girlfriend and I have a pact. We are both pregnant (she’s due at the end of the month) and we have agreed that when she goes to the hospital I will keep her son, and while I am pushing a watermelon out of my haunches, she will take care of Monkey. Last night she […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]
We had another appointment today for Mouse. Monkey was a good girl all morning and even let us know while we were driving that she had to go potty. We have been accident free for a while now. I feel like I should get an “accident free for ___ days” sign from […]
I have been volunteering in the Childrens Ministry at The Rock and although it is hard to get going in the mornings, once I am there God gives me the burst of energy I need to scurry around the classroom. It has been a while since I worked with preschoolers (besides my own). […]
