I love Valentine's Day! It is such a great holiday of love and affection. I don't like doing expensive extravagent things; just simple gestures of love. We made homemade truffles and my daughter brought them to school for her teachers. They are so yummy! Tonight, we are having a family dinner celebration making a chinese feast from scratch. Several ( Read more... )

Well, life has just been plugging away for me and my family during the start of 2009. My daughter had a bit of an asthma spell towards the end of Christmas and we had to bring her to the ER...it is pretty scary, but she is definately on the mend. The boys are growing and doing well. Walking and talking and exploring their worlds ( Read more... )

I just checked Emilie's blog and she passed away in her sleep last night. The tears are flowing. God bless Emilie. My God watch over her and her family.

Happy Birthday Jesus.

Not that anyone really noticed I was gone, but I am back online. My laptop broke again and I just didn't get around to getting things taken care of. My husband surprised me this last week with a new laptop. I finally got it loaded up with everything and am back to using it (when time permits).One of the first things I did was check a blog about a ( Read more... )

Wow, so long since I have updated. My laptop went out and needed to be sent in for fixing. We had to reformat the whole darn thing and reload and it just took forever to get done. Hard to fit computer stuff in between little ones, school, sports, family activities, blah, blah, blah. The boys are now 1; hard to believe. We had a wonderful ( Read more... )

I am so angry and upset about what I am seeing on the TV about these proteters at the RNC. I am upset about the treatment of the police and that these people feel it is their right to be so destructive and disobedient to our laws and society. This is NOT freedom speech; this is violence and against the law. How do we explain this behavior to our ( Read more... )

I have been watching some of the political shows this morning while feeding the boys. I am intrigued by McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as VP. It will be interesting to see how this changes the election process. I am a conservative, so I am pleased with her views. I commend her for not getting an abortion when she found that her child wasn't ( Read more... )

The summer has flown by; I can't believe school starts in just over a week! We have been so busy enjoying each day and watching the boys grow and change. My daughter has been such an amazing help; I swear she has matured years this summer! She is so responsible and "motherly". We spent 4 days in Duluth last week and enjoyed the beautiful weather ( Read more... )

I just had to post quick and say that we saw the movie Wall E today and it was fantastic.  I highly recommend it.  Pixar does an amazing job with their animation and storytelling.  It is wild that you can be so drawn in to a movie that has no dialogue.  There is a powerful message to the movie.  I am fascinated by the talent and work involved in ( Read more... )
