chad’s been out of town again. this time…atlanta. some church conference. i got a text from him last night saying that they were getting ready to go to a concert (rumored rascal flatts…but it wasn’t) and then to hear jeff foxworthy. i got the text as i was getting the kids dinner made and getting […]

chad left this past monday for orlando and gets back tonight. in my opinion the kids have a tendency to “double” while chad is out of town. 1 feels like 2…2 feels like 4…and 3 feels like 6. monday was pretty uneventful. the boys had school and i did laundry. it seems like aiden and […]

most of you know that chase has a speech impairment. he has been in speech therapy since he was 2 years old. our goal for him was for full remediation to take place before kindergarten starts. i am so thankful that we started him in therapy so early. it has made a huge difference. however…along […]

i’m not a huge fan of play dough. it makes such a mess. so, it may not be the play dough that i mind…but the mess. however, kids seem to love play dough. we have it. we just don’t use it. i always find some reason why we don’t need to play with play dough. […]

a few things on my mind. some serious…which will not be talked about tonight, and some not so serious…which will be the topics of the evening. i’m not sure how i entertained myself before my 3 children. these days, i wake up every morning wondering how they will make me laugh today. and, it usually […]

this superhero “phase” is really hanging on. chase dresses up like superman or batman nearly every day. on saturday, he put on the bulky superman costume and then put a sweatsuit over that. you can see his cape hanging out the back in the picture. he then found a plastic pair of those coke bottle […]

The assignment was to write a paragraph about what your life will be like when you are 100 years old.

with all the disney and animated movies out…it’s enough to confuse a person. especially if you are aiden or chase. currently, the favorite movies to watch in our house are aladdin and beauty and the beast. we not only watch the movies…but listen to both movie soundtracks as well. as i type, aiden is dressed […]
