I am married to an analytic thinker. When I ask him what some of his favorite meals are, he starts a spreadsheet, lists common meals, and assigns a rating. I added my ratings and then we asked the 3 oldest to rate the meals. This is what we came up with. This actually provides us […]
A few weeks ago we watched this movie ‘Gifted Hands’ about the life of Ben Carson, a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon at John Hopkins. Such an interesting story. He grew up in poverty with a single mother who didn’t know how to read. The thing I loved about her is that she was always encouraging her […]
Hannah had an end of school Super Hero Paper due that she wrote with a partner. These were my favorite parts. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . […]
We went to Scheels to check it out. Hannah, Max, Tru, & Dad loved the Ferris Wheel. Abe, Liza, & I didn’t brave the heights. It was a fun adventure for the fam. We ended the night at in-n-out. Tru’s hat was awesome on him.
Miss Liza woke up late on Saturday night with wheezing and a croupy cough. She had quite a fever. By Monday, I was concerned so I took her to the doctor (I know the Spirit prompted me). The doctor didn’t hear any wheezing but he did hear a crackle in her left lung. Her oxygen […]
When Jimmy’s companion can’t go with him, he takes one of the boys home teaching. Max was so cute to get all ready and help get the pictures for the lesson. So cute. When they got home, Max had wet socks from jumping on the tramp… huh? Jumping on the tramp on Sunday while home […]
The Condie’s invited us to join them at Hogle Zoo last week. It turned out to be perfect weather. The kids had a great time and I was so pleased with how well things went. Tru especially loved it all. He carried the map and made sure we visited every animal with a picture on […]
For Mother’s Day Hannah gave me a coupon for a free spa night. We did face masks. Hannah’s peeled off. Mine was the traditional green. Hannah insisted on cucumbers. They actually felt really good on my eyes. Hannah giggled and giggled. She is a sweet gal. We still need to do hand massages and paint […]
Oh, the laundry. How it overwhelms us every week. We conquer it… and it always comes back. The upside … Tru loves to hide in the piles (don’t worry – at least it’s clean and less stinky!). Bonus points if you can find my foot.
We just love our unique little Zuzu. Her hair amazes us every day. She is growing into a 2-year-old with the spicy attitude. But she snuggles. She still gives loves and kisses. She is learning to talk a bit better. She makes sound effects. He loves to get her toenails painted. She loves socks & […]
