So Far

Jan 29th, 2010 by mary

So far today it’s been snowing for hours!  We are so lucky that we did not get as much of the ice as they thought we would get last night.  Just a little ice, then some freezing rain, and then early this morning it started snowing and it hasn’t slowed down since! 
Being from Alabama, it’s [...]

Lazy, Lazy

Jan 28th, 2010 by mary

*Thanks to everyone for your sweet comments from my last post.  It’s food for thought.  Great suggestions!
Well, we are in for the duration!  We’ve got a mountain of groceries, picked up meds for both babies, took Matthew to the doctor for his cough, and got some more dog food for Jack!  We are just waiting [...]

The Escape

Jan 28th, 2010 by mary

I’ll be brutally honest with you, internets, I’ve been having a hard finding a little time for “me” here lately.  Matthew is a really good, easy baby so I don’t know why I’m complaining!  By the time we finally get him down at night it’s at least 8:45 or so.
So, you tend to some laundry, [...]

Whatcha Been Doing?!

Jan 25th, 2010 by mary

What have we been up to?  Well, I finally cleared out our camera and I must say I have not done a great job of taking pictures this past week. 
JM has been sick for a week now but luckily my in-laws made a trip to see us and I could not be more grateful.  Between [...]

Thank you, Lord, for Tylenol

Jan 21st, 2010 by mary

Thank you, Lord, for Tylenol I thought to myself as I rocked John Michael for the fourth time that night.  His fever was still pretty high for him to have had Motrin and Tylenol.  It was this very basic, common drug that was helping him and saving his life by bringing his temperature down to [...]

The Long and Short Of It

Jan 20th, 2010 by mary

Just a short recap of what all has been going on the last few days! JM has been sick with a virus and we headed to the doctor because I thought he had an ear infection…it turned out he didn’t.  I have to admit it’s been very hard since it’s my first time having two [...]

Anatomy of A Smile

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.  ~Mother Teresa
The anatomy of a smile:

And of course, our Mr. Smiley who is full of smiles so much of the day!

This one cracks me up!

What a happy fellow!

The Screamer

Jan 14th, 2010 by mary

OK, I knew this post was coming for quite some time.  Internets, I need your help!  We have been working so hard with John Michael on this one sticky issue that we cannot get under control.  Well, I take that back, we also are dealing with him constantly putting his foot up on the table [...]

Sittin’ Up

Jan 13th, 2010 by mary

Look who I found sitting up in the Bumbo this morning!!

He still needs a little bit of help, but he can do it!  Time is moving way too fast!

I’m Lost

Jan 12th, 2010 by mary

Just a quick little post…how in the world did I manage to lose a calendar.  Yes, a calendar that has made its home in the same kitchen drawer since we’ve lived in this house.  Where would a calendar go?
Is it a really bad sign that I can’t even keep up with my own calendar these [...]
