Trip to SA

662 Time to blog about our trip back to San Antonio a couple of weekends ago. Our wonderful friends in our Sunday School class graciously hosted a baby shower for us and two other pregnant mommies. So we headed down south to see some old friends. I felt so blessed to have so many people […]

State Fair

641 (Ackk. Another picture I should have turned before I uploaded them.) I’ve already been asked twice about this photo so I better go ahead an explain it. Last week we took the kids to the state fair. They had a good time. N’s favorite activities were the ferris wheel and the lighted parade. (Mommy […]

September Happenings

I’m a bit behind, but here you go: 586 Hannah was about 2 weeks old here. Her Aunt Christy bought her this brightly colored outfit before we knew what her gender was going to be. I think it goes quite well with the bouncy seat. Sorry that I forgot to rotate the photo. I’ll try […]

Car Picture

I’ve been meaning to take and post a photo of what my kiddos call the ‘car picture’ for a while now. I just never remember to take the camera when we get in the car. Not to mention that is also needs to be a time that I’m not in the driver’s seat. Well, the […]

Home Again

We arrived back home safely from our SA trip. It was a great trip and I’ll try to write more about it soon. The drives there and back took us over 7 hours each, whereas it used to take just under 5 hours. Making all those stops for a newborn sure adds up. We had […]

Got Caught

377 George and I accompanied the kids to a friend’s birthday party on Saturday. I REALLY had not planned to go as my plan was to be home with a baby, but that was not to be. The inflatable play structures looked like so much fun I just had to try one out. Adults were […]

The trouble with using a midwife…

…is that they know EVERYTHING! It’s just not fair! With the first two kiddos, this was a typical conversation I had with my doctor at each visit: Doctor: “How’s your nutrition? Are you eating well?” Me: “Pretty good. At least I’m trying to.” Doctor: “Well, keep working on it. Nutrition is important to your growing […]

Outages

This past week we had had an hour long electrical outage, a DAY long internet outage, and a day and a HALF air conditioner outage. (OK, technically the AC still came on and blew air, the air just wasn’t cool.) During all 3 I found myself thinking “Good grief – what am I supposed to […]

Expensive Pants

Some days I enjoy cloth diapering – other days it’s not so great. I just purchased some cloth training pants for Mr. Nate. Entering my credit card number made for a not-so-great cloth-diapering day. I can’t believe I just paid that much for only *3* pairs of training pants. I’ll just have to remind myself […]

Confession

We have now located and plugged in the necessary equipment to post pics to our blog. I added several posts and dated them when they actually should have been written. The post on May 24 is the earliest one I added tonight.
