Monkey has been asking to go to the circus for a while now, in part because of the constant advertisement on TV, and in part because I told her months ago we could go when it came. (When did she start to have a memory like mine?) Daddy found a coupon code online for 50% […]
I went to see Dr. Bowtie today and my bed rest has been changed from full bed rest, to modified. Which means I can now have Monkey back in the house part time and I can do some activities. After a long restless night filled with mixed emotion, I couldn’t have gotten better news.
While I […]
I have to say, the time spent on bed rest has really reminded me of how blessed we have previously been, and it has provided some new blessings along the way.
One of my favorite people is my sister-in-law Sarah. She just recently moved out on her own, and started school. She has been adjusting to […]
Today is the big day! We are leaving for the cabin in less than six hours.
I have so much to do before I leave, but my bags are packed (and so are everyone else’s) so I figure I’m doing alright. My camera is charged and my list for the store is complete. […]
It has taken a while for us to get back to our usual routine after that bout with sickness, but I feel like we are almost there. Let me also add, that I have never been the perfect housekeeper. I love to enjoy my house and I want my family to do the […]

Just when Monkey started eating and drinking regularly, Daddy started going down the same path. He has been very sick since last Saturday, and as of yesterday was put on a prescription that cost $25 per pill after insurance. The good news is, the pharmacist said this medication should pretty much kill everything in its […]
When you have a sick kid, if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that if mom feels something isn’t right… it’s not.
I called into the doctor again today, because it’s been six days since Monkey first developed her fever, and she keeps getting worse instead of better. She woke up today and her eyes were still […]
The lists have begun. I have things to finish in Monkeys room before I allow myself to make purchases for Caterpillar. BUT, that hasn’t stopped me from figuring out exactly what I want so when the time comes all I need is my car keys, my list and my wallet.
As I am pondering […]
Travis and I came home tired after serving in church yesterday, but we were excited to have my in-laws over for the afternoon and dinner. They had gone to the church service and we were talking about the message (which I didn’t see) and the subject of judgment came up.
This has been on my heart […]
