Photo Friday

Okay, so I KNOW it's not Friday but back in January I saw one of my professional photographer friends post about Project 365. The idea is to take a photo a day (or in my case 2 or 10 a day) and chronicle your year. I'm definitely not a professional photographer and I don't have a fancy camera but I do love taking pictures especially of my kiddos. So I decided to participate! I thought I'd upload my photos each Friday and share them on here but yesterday was Friday and I didn't get around to it so here's my first Photo Friday, one day late!

Sunday, January 1, 2012 Playing together. How I love this sight!



Monday, January 2, 2012 "Brother won't share his cool toys with me!"




Tuesday, January 3, 2012 Piper and I stayed up late waiting for Jackie and Jathan to get home from the Sugar Bowl. (We're thankful for the donor of the super cheap tickets!) One of us didn't make it. 




Wednesday, January 4, 2012 Knitting for a new baby in a quiet house--one of my favorite things to do!




Thursday, January 5, 2012 I've had my eye on these curtains at World Market for over a year and haven't had the funds to buy them. I finally went and got them (and the coordinating place mats and napkins) with my Christmas money. Thanks, Mom and Dad!






Friday, January 6, 2012 It was a beautiful spring day (in January) so we opened up the doors and windows and let the breeze (and neighbors) in. Jathan played all day with Paul and Piper enjoyed the sunshine by the balcony.

5 Reasons I Should Stay Off Facebook

1. TMI So, I remember the weirdest things but one brief conversation I had over 10 years ago stands out to me. It was high school and like all high school girls I had friends, enemies, and frienemies. One of my then-frienemies (we've grown up since then!) was friends with one of my enemies. Standing by the lockers one day, frienemy walks up and says in reference to enemy something like, "She shares too much information. Sometimes it's almost like, 'Hey, guys. I just farted.'" Of course, at the time I ate this up and laughed at her expense but over the years it's been a little reminder that more often than not I need to shut up. Just shut up. I've often been tempted (and have too often given in to the temptation) to over share. I think the Internet feels far safer than it really is. I need to remember that. 2. Friends...or Stalkers? Speaking of "friends", I have 321 of them. I know that number is much higher for many of you, but ...

The Story of Us

Do you like love stories? Who doesn't! Well, as Jackie and I prepare to celebrate our 7th anniversary tomorrow I'm ruminating on ours. It had an unexpected beginning and several surprising twists some of which threw me off so badly that I'm only now beginning to see how beautifully the Master Author has written it. I know it has had to have been in His hands because I seriously couldn't make some of this stuff up. Though Jackie and I didn't meet until 2004, but I will begin our story in 1998. That year I was 15 and pregnant. I suppose everyone thinks a baby will change your life to some degree but few people understand just to what degree that is. Because of Keeleigh a lot of things were different in my life. I traded in some of my freedom as a teenager for bottles and diapers. I remember I used to leave school and tell my friends, "Well, I'm off to play house." "Don't you wish you were just playing?" a friend asked. Really? I didn...

24 Days of Thankfulness: Day 12

She is 12 years old going on 30. She is the epitome of the term "free-spirited." She sings opera in the shower and can ride a bike with no hands and her eyes closed. She can beat all the boys at football at PE. She has her own style and isn't afraid to show it off. She dances for His glory. She can stand on her hands. When she laughs everyone laughs with her. Sometimes I look at her and my heart aches for the years past when I didn't always know what a treasure I had. She is growing--I get to see her maturing a little each day, growing not only in stature but also spiritually and mentally. What a treat it is to sit across from her each day and see the wheels turning in her head! She is the prettiest mad scientist I've ever seen. She is artsy and crafty. She is big sister  extraordinaire! She bickers and complains but without a doubt she loves and that love is returned.  She holds them close and asks for hugs and kisses. Sh...
