A farm next to us had baby goats! The children *loved* seeing them! Except for Mr. Littlest. He loudly proclaimed we "need" a baby goat "but first we need a garden". When she invited us over to come play with them, he wanted nothing to do with them. But was more than happy to be…
Happy Valentines Day!
We were on the front porch, looking in the window at all our children playing in the little house my love is building for us. Before you think it was a peaceful play, let me say the generator was running, so from my perspective it was a peaceful play. The reality inside might have been…
Back to the Land
After spending days packing, moving, rearranging, we finally were ready to go back to the house Friday night. But it was 9pm by the time we made it... and the house was in utter disarray from the lack of constant living/constructing/using it as storage from Christmas.So we spent the night in the Excursion. Its times…
Happy 4th Birthday Mr. Littlest
When did my widdle boy get so big?! Yall have to look at the next two pictures in order. This is his "I'm not going to smile" face:And then he will hold this until he starts to smile again, which is usually a few seconds. Rinse and repeat. Little Stinker is too funny! Another funny…

BabyGirl’s Hospital Stay in Pictures

Our Children's Hospital completed a major overhaul, opening the new wing in July. The ER, by the way, moved to the side - I learned that after getting her out and walking up…
Memories spring forth
Whew, to say the least, the last few days, specifically the last 24 hours, have brought a flood of memories. And made me mostly rewrite a post.I knew this would be an sensitive week for me. BabyGirl is 12 weeks old. Most people, when they experience a traumatic event, have certain triggers that bring a…
Happy New Year!!

To many thoughts, post gets written to be edited later (you know -…
Christmas Blizzard 2012
Yup, thats what we were treated to Christmas evening!Now I realize to most of the country snow is no big deal. I realize that 8-12 inches is a minor winter storm. I also realize that Blizzard Warnings invoke as much response as Thunderstorm Warnings do.But this is the south hun. We. Dont. Get. Snow.Seriously. Our…
Impatient… or Excited
That's what I am. I cant help it. I am a person that has a project. And a plan. And then get it done... NOW. Admittedly, details get in my way. I don't like dealing with to many sidetracks. Otherwise I get discouraged. When I get discouraged I tend to move on to the next project. That's…
