This has become a family favorite dinner. Chris has been working 85+ hours this week so has been missing out on dinner with us. When I told him this is what we had last night he was highly disappointed. It’s a good one – try it! Kielbasa Potato Stir-fry 4 med. new red potatoes, cut [...]

Definition: the ability to endure waiting, delay, or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset, or to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties. (compliments of wikipedia.org) On the way to church on Sunday Emma and I were discussing the current woes of the economy and how that affected our family. At the end of the conversation [...]

Last Sunday while we were in Orlando, we rented a car and drove a couple hours north to visit my grandparents. It was such a treat for all of us. They are so ‘young at heart’ at 80 years old that you can’t help but smile at their interaction with their great-grandchildren. I loved that [...]

We have just returned from our first official family vacation (in other words, this trip was not for the sole purpose of visiting family – although we snuck that in too). Can you guess where we went?! Walt Disney World! Those little books from my last post were put to good use and came home [...]

Gearing up for an upcoming trip, I was feeling crafty. I had marked this from a friend’s blog a long time ago (thanks, Chels!) and thought I’d take a stab at it so the kids could have something fun for the trip. I designed the front and back covers in Photoshop Elements and printed them [...]

Last week (our last week of break) I stepped out of my comfort zone and let the kids have a craft/project day. I’m not one to encourage my kids to make messes so this has always been a hard one for me to do. Yes, art is a subject that isn’t pushed very heavily in [...]

Hannah definitely didn’t wait long to catch up with Caleb as she lost her first tooth this morning. She was a little nervous when it fell out, looking in the mirror over and over again after rinsing her mouth out a number of times. But, after a couple minutes she was really excited.

I was surprised to find a package in the mail today from my mother-in-law. I thought it was another school book she had sent for the kids (because she is just awesome like that). BUT, then I opened it and found it was for me . . . . a book all about our ‘girl [...]

We had a relaxing weekend at home (well, most of us – Chris went on a solo road trip, but that’s another story), BUT it was full of changes. Just 15 minutes ago, Caleb lost his very first tooth! We were afraid he’d reach his 8th birthday with all his baby teeth so he was [...]
