I was telling my sister about all of Truman’s “Adventures” and she said, “Truman needs a hobby.” It really made me laugh. It’s so true! Right now his hobby is getting into mischief. And that he is good at… especially last week. I’ve been thinking of some things that Truman enjoys and is good at. […]
I don’t know why I feel so silly finally writing this post. Perhaps it’s because for the last 8 weeks I’ve been trying to figure out how I’ll survive life with 5 little ones under the age of 8… with 3 of those under the age of 3. It still seems unreal to me. But […]
I know I’m taking this scripture out of context… but this is how I feel lately. For the past 5 days I’ve been completely out of it with a nasty virus. It takes most of my energy to breathe in and out… and cough. Heavenly Father has sent so many angels to watch over us. […]
The kids requested homemade valentine’s again this year. Thanks to a freebie from Homegrown Hospitality, Hannah had a darling image to put on hers. Abe had some funny requests but in the end liked his basketball silhouette card. The kids seemed to enjoy their class parties and valentine’s. Grandma Price brightened the day with fun […]
“From the Crossroads of the West,” we’re back with more earthquake news. Sunday: 2.8 magnitude at 2:30 a.m. woke Jimmy, Me, Hannah, and Abe. Gave us a bit of a fright. Earthquakes are a bit noisy… even these little ones. It takes about an hour for my heart to calm down. Sunday: 2.8 magnitude at […]
We were just putting the tots to bed, when the whole house did shake, shake, shake. So fast, but alarming to all. It was only a 2.5… and I can’t imagine how anything stronger or longer would feel. I think my heart is still racing an hour later. It does look like it was centered […]
This has turned out to be the theme for the week. Mostly because this week was really, really hard. My friend Diana used “We can do hard things” as their family theme last year. And ever since then I’ve wondered if I really could do hard things. I think I’m an utter wimp sometimes. I […]
Little Tru’s eye is doing amazingly well. I guess what you hear about little ones bouncing back and healing swiftly is true. On Saturday (one week and one day after surgery) the stitches were dissolving and falling out. His bruising has lightened significantly. You can barely see the incision on his eyelid, but when you […]
Outside my window… it’s freezing cold, snowy, with gray skies. I am thinking… about summer and warmer days… walks and bike rides and family basketball games I am thankful for… Jimmy. I must be the most frustrating wife ever these days… and his heart is full of love and patience. From the learning rooms… parenting!! […]
