That was then, this is now

Update: I forgot to include the recent picture of Sam flying the kite today. I added it at the end with another of Julia. My how he's grown!

I am suppose to be working tonight, but I couldn't help but take some time to look through my blog archives to find old pictures of kite flying. We've had this same kite for years so there were bound to be a few.
(I blogged about the day we got it here.) We flew it in 2007, 2008, 2009 and again today. By complete coincidence Julia wore the same boots as she did last year.

But that was then, this is now:




I encourage you to look back at your archives. I bet you'll find a post or two that are along the same theme, but years apart. I'd love to read them if you do so leave me a comment directing me where to look so I can visit.

    wow!! how do you keep the kite from year to year. We end up buying a few each season. But then again, I do by the $1 ones. We flew kites this passed weekend...oh, so much fun. My 4 year old finally got the hang of it.

    I just did a post of then and now called "Look at her go"...it's my most recent post. Enjoy.

    BTW, always love your pictures...truly capturing.

    So fun! We have a kite too that the girls have been flying. We need to get it out and fly it this spring! This is like a Wednesday's Walk post... you could link it up! :)

    Jenney and I talked about "meeting" you and how we found your blog and how you told us how close we lived to each other! She was so sweet. Maybe one day we can all do something!


    Have a GREAT DAY!!!

"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...
