We’re going to Sea World

Doodle

Actually we went to Sea World yesterday. I packed everything I could possibly think of in the world's largest pool bag, loaded the stroller and off we went. Caroline talked a mile a minute the entire way there. The only time she wasn't talking she was singing in that sing-song voice inherent to kids "we're going to Sea World, we're going to Sea World". I thought her head might explode from all the Read More

We love to have people over to visit and since P. is in youth ministry we've had visitors at all hours of the day and night. We always want people to feel warm and welcome in our home.This is the kitchen and it really Read More

Fashion has gone to the dogs

T.V. Love

Last night I watched Project Runway. This is the first season that I have watched and I only started watching because there is literally nothing else on other than 600 shows dedicated to undiscovered talent in America. My thought is that the majority are probably best left undiscovered. Anyway I am loving Project Runway.The first thing that caused me some distress last night was when Heidi came Read More

But we know who Mr. Noodle is…

Just for fun

The Christmas after we had Caroline, one of P.'s childhood friends dropped by to catch up, well maybe not catch up as much as let us know about him. He lives in New York but was in town visiting his parents and managed to fit us in between his big social events.He sat and told us all about life in New York, throwing out names of important people, expensive sheets, and restaurants. We listened, and Read More

Tapping her little heart out

Doodle

Yesterday I bought Caroline some new tap shoes since her dance class this fall will include not only ballet, but tap and acrobatics. Am I getting my money's worth or what? When I brought the shoes home I vowed to P. that I wasn't going to let her discover the true beauty of what tap shoes do until she starts her class this fall. This morning she wanted those black, shiny shoes on first thing so I Read More

God’s People

Seriously

As a Christian seeing all the turmoil in the Middle East right now isn't really much of a surprise. #1 It's been going on from the beginning of time and #2 God said in Genesis that this would always be the case. The interesting thing to me is thinking about something I read one time that talked about how amazing it is that Israel is basically a country the size of Rhode Island yet is always at Read More

Visitin’

Doodle

Tonight we were having our neighbors over for dinner, so instead of showering and putting on my pajamas like I usually do, I showered and actually got dressed. Caroline immediately picked up on it and said "Mama, where are you going?" I told her I wasn't going anywhere but that Mama and Daddy were having some friends over for dinner. Oh! She got so excited! "Oh Mama I want to stay up and would Read More

Best Friends

Doodle

A couple of hours ago we were leaving to go to Walmart. I made Caroline make one last trip to the potty to help us stay accident free. After she went I said "Good for you, you did it! I'm so proud." She hugged me so tight and said "Mama, we are best friends!"I realize that as her mother she won't always see me as her best friend and really being a good mother means that at times she will Read More
