If you give a kid a palm leaf



Of course he's going to use it to tease his little sister!
















He made up for it with some big brother lovin'.


(It's worth clicking on this collage to zoom in on their expressions.)

Sam also led the whole congregation into the sanctuary once I had him convinced he could do it bribed with a donut.
Julia's job? Look cute.

After they'd had their weekly dose of sugar as their reward for jobs well done, we brought them home for naps in an attempt to catch up on the sleep we lost last night when they took turns waking us up for three hours.
"I love you Mom."
"I want to hold your hand."
"What was that noise?"
"I want to snuggle."

Julia's matra didn't waver from "NU-NEE!!!! NU-NEE!!!"

"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

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.

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
