Bwahahaha… this boy keeps us laughing. We are heading to Sunny St. George soon for Jimmy’s Grandma’s burial…. which is why he was talking of “Satan George.” Here’s Max at the doctor yesterday. The Good News… he doesn’t have strep throat. The sad news… he still isn’t feeling well and has had a fever for […]
1st theme of the day… inspired by my friend Julie. 2nd theme for the day… the thought on our white-board… for me, for Hannah… our positive affirmation. 3rd theme for the day… this is for Janey. Isn’t it so true some days? Took Abe to the doctor this a.m. Strep throat … and the flu. […]
Yesterday evening when I was getting Liza’s jammmies on, I realized that we had been abundantly blessed that day to endure. With sickies all over the place, this mama was somehow able to take care of everyone. It wasn’t because I was super capable or patient… It was strength from God. It helped that Jimmy […]
It started out as A FEW WITH THE FLU… and now it’s more like MOST of the FAM WITH THE FLU (save two… Hannah & Tru). First Abe – who has been the sickest of everyone. Cough, fever, chills, red & sore eye. He stayed home from school on Friday and is still home today […]

Today Max, with crinkle sleep lines still on his head, said with a cute morning voice, “Did you know tomorrow is warthog day?” Be still my heart. What he really meant was that on Feb 2 it’s groundhog day. Warthog vs groundhog. Made me laugh. The other day I was trying to convince Truman that […]
I bought grape-nuts the other day. Ya know … Hot Grape Nuts is perfect for wintertime. I found a thought-provoking question on the back of the cereal box. We all have our own El Guapo’s in life… I mean… Mountains in life. And for me I have had different mountains at different times. My mountain […]
In December we visited Grandma Beck. She is living in an assisted living home and is 95 years old. She communicates with her family by typing weekly letters on her typewriter. My dad showed the kids her typewriter and they were completely AMAZED! They’d never seen such a thing. A few days later, Abe asked […]
well… it’s animal week i guess since we’ve mentioned Claud the Chameleon, Johnny Blue the Beta Fish, and now we’re going to talk about dogs and cats. I have two children (Abe & Tru) who I know would greatly benefit from having a constant friend to hang out with when they need chill-out time. The […]
