Thursday Thirteen (sorry for my tardiness)

Thirteen things I've been doing instead of blogging lately. Has it only been three days since my last post? It seems much longer. I miss it, but as you can see, getting things accomplished feels good too.

1. I brushed the dog for only the second time in two months.
2. I cooked and froze 4 new foods for Julia (rutabaga, peaches, papaya, green beans)
3. Brian and I have become more faithful about doing a daily devotional time together
4. Sam and I have been reading more books - I didn't think that was even possible
5. We played at 3 new parks
6. I watched Julia creeping around the living room by pushing with her toes.
7. I backed up 1000 pictures onto CDs and filed them in my safe
8. I (with help from Brian and my mom) moved my grandpa's desk, a china cabinet, an entertainment center, and a large stereo out of my mom's basement and into my garage.
9. I talked to my college roommate, Sarah, and two high school friends on the phone.
10. I made multiple lists of all the things we'll need for our trip
11. I gathered some of the things from those lists
12. I watched most of a movie with my husband (National Lampoon's Vacation - that had stopped taping before it was over)
13. I didn't have to wonder where so many hours disappeared when I only meant to sit down and check my email and a blog or two.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
