Happy Birthday Cole.

here's hoping four is just as great as three!

(but maybe with a few less time outs)

love always,

Mom

wonder what he is dreaming of?

if the goggles don't give it away, the fact that I had to wrestle him to the ground to get him to take off his swimsuit surely does.

we are the champions

League Champs:
A-L Compressed Gases

it was quite the season. full of baseball firsts. first time on the mound, first time stealing bases, first time playing a tournament, and first time running a victory lap as league champs.

congratualtions to my baseball loving son,

from: your #1 fan!

8:00 AM

first morn' of summer break

one word: lazy.

find a penny...pick it up...

and if your Cody...

put it in your mouth, swallow it, and then smile at your Mom while she searches through your diapers for the next two days waiting for it to reappear.

Grandpa O says not to worry. Besides, he's worth a penny more now.

buttermilk pancakes and little sizzlers - a camping MUST

stand still

If ever I thought I had it in me to be a master at journaling the days of my life, this blog has surely proven me wrong. Thankfully, regular blog posting is not the standard by which thriving life is measured. If so, I have dropped off the face of the earth.

What have I been doing?

a short list:

(with a whole lot of living life between the lines)

crafting
cleaning

mothering

thinking

thinking some more

singing
budgeting

cheering

complaining

apologizing

e-mailing

wondering

talking

cooking

serving

disciplining

and

on

and

on

it

goes.

In a nut shell- the same things that all of you

(and by you I mean the two people who still read my blog)

are doing, only in a me kind of way.

No my life is not at a stand still.

though I can think of more than a few things I wish would stay still, always.
