Last night during family prayer, something clicked in Truman’s little mind. He hopped up, touched Hannah’s head and said “duck.” He started going around the family circle playing the game. Once we said “amen” he took off running for Hannah to chase him. I love how tots think.
at a friend’s wedding reception at the Old Stone Church by the Utah Capitol in Salt Lake City. I liked the light and silhouette effect. Photo courtesy Abe. Aunt Julie and D’liza at dinner tonight. Zu-Zu likes to suck her hand. Sweet dearie. The blessed baby slept through all of church. A blog friend whom […]
It has only taken me 4 1/2 months to get around to journaling our trip of the year. But here it is… in all it’s glory. The kids really enjoyed themselves on this trip. They liked staying with my friend Angela, Mike, and Jasper (who treated us like royalty!). Ang is pretty much AMAZING!!! She […]
… like 10 hours. 9 p.m. – 7 a.m. true story. will it last? – that is the question. Since she’s bottle-fed and older than 2 months, I figured it was okay to let her sleep her little heart away. And sleep she did. The only problem was that we worried about her and had […]
Perhaps not my best idea to do any type of hike at 6-weeks post-partum after a c-section, but I was in need of some nature. Hannah thought it was freezing. I thought the weather was perfect. Abe enjoyed himself except for having to carry the baby bag. We didn’t come very prepared and forgot the […]

jimmy was holding eliza. i was tickling her. and she laughed. it was a sweet sound. it made my day. notice that eliza is not laughing when the 2-year-old is trying to “hold”/grab her. but… oh, she’s so cute. sorry no caps lately. caps are much harder when typing one-handed.
It’s a cold and windy autumn day. And nothing says cozy home more than the smell of tasty baked goods. During quiet time, I made some delicious pumpkin bread… and boy howdy, does my home smell cozy. What does Boy Howdy mean anyways? I love it – the bread and coziness, that is! Go – […]
my kids are home sick again today. they are on the mend but not well enough to go to school. so – what to do? i guess we’ll make jell-o, eat soup and saltines, drink sprite & gatorade, and watch movies. i’m such a nice mom – i force my kids to watch old movies. […]
so… I am grouchy when I have to clean up barf? on the carpet in my warm house? with a steam-vac? And here this man devotes his entire life to caring for the poorest of the poor. I love hearing about good people like Narayanan Krishnan. Plus, he is so sincere and full of love. […]
