This and That

I just finished all 8 loads of laundry from our trip.  Whoo hoo!  Funny thing is that I do more than that when we are home each week, but I guess without towels and sheets and the hubby’s endless changing of clothes, we were able to keep it down some.
It feels good to be home.  [...]

It’s a Small World After All!

Whew!  We just got back from a whirlwind vacation to Walt Disney World and I am still spinning from it.  We all had such a great time, despite the fact that the hubby and I were like ranchers with cattle prods, trying to get the rest of my family moving and motivated.  Anyone who has been there [...]

For Heather

Her faith may move mountains and it will surely move you to tears.  Please help.

Out of the mouths of babes

While shopping at Kohl’s today:
S ~ Mommy, look at all those bo*bie things (the bra section)!  I like them.  I want a bo*bie thing for my bo*bies.
G ~ When I grow up, my bo*bies are going to be bigger than mommy’s!
***Don’t forget that G is a boy, but he is probably correct.

Picture Perfect

It’s no secret that it is a little wild at our house.  Four kids is reason enough, but four kids with personalities like their father, well, it’s always a party.  At least in their minds.  Actually, there is a close resemblance to our house and a fraternity house the day after a kegger.  Stuff strewn all [...]

A New Beginning!

What a journey!  My brother arrived home a few minutes after 9:00 on Saturday night with my new niece Abby.  She is such a beautiful, dainty little girl, but she was so tired.  I suppose I would be tired too if I had cried for the 24 hour flight home.
My poor brother had to do [...]

A Little Excerpt

My brother has been keeping a blog of their adoption experience, which has been a wonderful way for us to follow their journey.  It is so exciting to see pictures of them in China with their daughter.  I wanted to share an entry from Easter Sunday that he wrote: 
As we are winding down our day here in [...]

Special Delivery

My brother has just boarded a plane from China and is bringing his brand new baby daughter HOME!  I am so excited to meet her – I just can’t stand it.  The flight is roughly 24 hours long, so by the time he lands, I’m sure they will be exhausted and ready for a looong [...]

Bigger than a Bread Truck

As promised, the photos from the day I delivered the twins at exactly 36 weeks.  They are pictures of pictures, so not the best quality.  Oh, and in all honesty, I don’t think they even do justice to how huge my belly was.  Enjoy.

It’s an honor just being nominated…

for a Blogger’s Choice Award by Girl Genius, Mistress of Mirth, the one and only One Weird Mother.  If you don’t vote for her, then vote for me.  I’ll take what I can get.  Just don’t leave me hanging out there with a big fat goose egg!
Thanks Karrie!  You are the grooviest!
