One of Guenna’s latest hobbies, dropping her binkies in the toilet. Thanks to her brothers who are responsible little boys who close the door behind them to keep sissy out of the bathroom. Yesterday I had them re-check to make sure that they had shut the door, and Aidan ran back with a cheerful affirmative! […]

“In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” (From Luke 15:10-32)
We rejoice with the angles as our brother-in-law to be, Sanford, was baptized last night! What an exciting occasion, and we wish we could have been there to witness with […]

There is somewhat of a discussion going on in the comment section of my last post on Bible reading with toddlers. The discussion made me think of some other thoughts I have on the subject that seemed a little long to add to the comment section. You may have to read the comment section to […]

This is an area that I have yet to become very consistent in. I desire for my children to grow up in a home where the reading and understanding of God’s word is more important that pretty much everything, school, housework, or whatever other activities we allow them to be involved in, knowing and understanding […]

We had a wonderful day today. One of our friends’ baby Titus was baptized this morning, and another family that attends our church, the Comis family had a baby this past Friday. Two more boys added to our number! Myself and one other lady in our church are expecting and I was thinking today if […]

This is the “Chicken Lady” she has chickens and is our neighbor. Today Aidan suggested we take the lady who has chickens some cookies and so we did. We had such a great time over there, I […]

Chris is gone tonight at our church’s men’s retreat. He will be back sometime tomorrow afternoon. I’ve known about this retreat for a couple months but it is always so hard for me to let him go, we so look forward to our family time on the weekends, getting to have him all to ourselves. […]

It’s funny how when we have our first child we can’t wait for that little one to talk, and then some of them depending on their personalities, we can’t shut them up when they start! I feel a little like I’m in one of those seasons right now, not because of one child in particular […]

At least for a few days it is. Today the temp was in the low 50’s so we got to go for a walk, met the neighbor, who is affectionately known by Aidan as “The chicken lady,” out walking with her grandson. It was so nice to be out there, walking in the brisk cool […]

I needed to post something today but I also need to spend some time with my husband so I’ll make this short. Good day today, had fun going to our midwife appointment this morning in Everett, got my blood drawn for the glucose test, hopefully I wont have to retake it but I’ll find out […]

Tonight the boys were playing with baby dolls, Eamon had his and Aidan was playing with Guenna’s. They were carrying them around and talking to them in little voices as a parent will often talk to a baby. It was really cute. At one point Aidan was talking about an “idea” he had, I think […]

We take turns praying in the mornings as we sit down to breakfast. This morning it was Aidan’s turn. He went through the usual things, thanking the Lord for this wonderful breakfast, praying that we will have a good day, prayed for daddy to be safe at work and for us to not be too […]
