Male Bonding Weekend!
Hubby and Chris are on their Passport to Purity Weekend. I’m excited for them (excited I don’t have to do it!) I know it will be a wonderful bonding and fun time for father and son. Before they left I had to write a letter to my son, my first born. Writing that letter I…
Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe…Again
Joey wanted to audition for the show. last year he got a small part, but declined it. He had to make an on the spot decision and Joey is NEVER good at making quick choices. Later he was a little disappointed he didn’t get in the show, but enjoyed watching it. Chris was Edmund last…
Teenage Boy
My oldest turned 13 a couple of months ago. What happened to my precocious, strong-willed, bossy, fun-loving little guy? He got taller and grew up, just a little.

My Baby Boy has Grown Up
Timmy (7) came to me about two weeks ago and said, “Mom, I’m not your baby any more.” Then he smiled and showed me he just lost his first tooth. (Sniffle) I told him a while ago I’d stop calling him my baby when he lost his first tooth. The next day he lost his…
A New Record!
Timmy (7) beat his pogo jumping record which was 877 or something close to that. Today he jumped 4,991! Give or take a couple of jumps. I lost count several times! I’m still amazed at his jumping skill and decided next time to strap a pedometer on him or my husband suggested just timing how…
