A Good Read

I've been reading a blog that makes me laugh, cry, and know that I am not alone in the motherhood calling. Check out one of the latest posts from Amy's Humble Musings. I don't know her personally, but I think she's a good role model for many moms.

Happy Birthday, Hannah

She's the most thought-full girl I know. All of my girls are smart, but Hannah seems to dig a little deeper than the others. One of her favorite things is a pretty dress. It looks like she got another one from her precious Grandma Rita today. I just received this photo in my email. Isn't she beautiful? She's growing up so fast.





A daughter
may outgrow your lap,
but she will never
outgrow your heart.

OOooo, babies are so cute!

I hope you don't mind that I am sharing this adorable picture of my newest nephew with his lips posing for a kiss. He's supposedly the best baby ever. I might beg to differ, but not while I am looking at this cute photo.

ebay Outrage! I need to vent!

It has come to my attention that ebay no longer allows the sale of Teacher's Edition Textbooks. The claim I've been hearing through the message boards is that non-teachers, namely students, are buying the answer keys for their own use.

So what? If it is a college student, that person is an adult and has a right to buy it from anywhere else on the web. If it is a pre-college student, why isn't the parent watching them more closely? Don't punish the rest of us because some kids are cheating. ebay isn't for kids. BUT...Kids are also buying rated R videos, mature books, weapons, diet pills, and pretty much anything they need to self-destruct. Why take away the off-chance that they could absorb some knowlege from copying the right answers for their homework.

It just doesn't make sense. Something else must be up...


aaaargh! I just had to vent.

Life goes on...

My nephew was born yesterday & boy is he ever cute!

Joy in the Chaos

It's been an adventure trying to get things organized here. We sttill have some things at the old house that we need to go and get. Even with all the monotonous unpacking and organizing, there is joy to be found. I am very tired, but finding strength to make a little progress every day. Sometimes the daily grind gets in the way of making big strides, but things are getting done. I know that this house will be a blessing to us & I have plans to use it to bless others. So, as I unpack a little at a time, I am singing praises of thanks for this beautiful home.

Ps 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

For the girls, there is a playroom full of toys. I have a plan for organizing it, but it will have to wait. In the meantime, Lindsey plays in there for hours and keeps finding fun. I sent this photo to a friend yesterday & she said it was like a Where's Waldo game. Can you find Lindsey?
