One of my favorite names for God found in the Bible is Jehovah Jireh. It means God Provides, and I have never found Him to be otherwise than a magnificent provider.
When we found out we were expecting another child, I realized that by this point, some baby things are needing replacement. Mainly we were in need of [...]

It’s a Boy! But What Will We Call Him?
Posted in Pregnancy and Babies on August 17, 2006 | 7 Comments »
Today was my routine 20 week ultrasound, and we were all anxious to find out for sure whether my instincts were correct and we were expecting a boy. Well, our little blessing cooperated that far at least and eagerly displayed his defining anatomy for all to be assured of his gender. Other than that, however, [...]

Dh and I have been with the Army for a few years now, and we have had the chance to live in a couple of very desirable locations, namely Monterey, CA and Hawaii. We’ve met people from China, Germany, England, Korea, Japan, Louisianna, Rhode Island, and a whole slew of Texans. It has been a [...]

In an effort to encourage Missy and remind her of her great worth, I sat her on my lap and said, “Did you know that God created you with special gifts and talents?”
She laughed and said, “It wasn’t cartwheels!”
Talking into the Night

After the presents were opened, the cake mashed and (we hope) eaten, baths taken and bedtime stories read, we had a chance to visit with our friends. DH and his friend played a game while my friend, V, and I got a chance to visit.
And boy did we. Normally when we get together our attention [...]
Birthday Baby

Yesterday, the 10th, was Baby’s birthday. She has been such a joy to us since her arrival, and she has grown and changed so much.
The first year of babyhood is bittersweet. Every accomplishment brings joy and pride, but sadness that yet another step of independence has been taken. Baby has thrilled us with her [...]
Pregnancy Worry

With each pregnancy, I worry. With my first, naturally, I worried about two really obvious things –miscarriage and labor (aka avoiding pain and a c-section). When things went swimmingly with the first, I worried a lot less with the second, though I know I worried about how I could stretch myself to be a good mother to [...]
Murphy’s Law

Well, Bud’s doctor had asked me to let him know how the new medication was working, so after over a week of success with Bud not once going to sleep after 10 o’clock, I called the doctor yesterday to say how great things were going.
Naturally, last night Bud didn’t fall asleep until midnight. *sigh* Here’s [...]
Sweet Sleep
Posted in ADHD, Parenting on August 3, 2006 | 5 Comments »
The last five nights have been like an oasis in the desert we’ve been in for the past month. I didn’t realize how we had barely been holding on to our sanity, and how stressed and tired we were until we finally found some relief. And the relief is sweet, for all involved.
After 4 weeks [...]
