For just about two years now these two best buddies have been known as The Sams. When they met as brand-new three-year-olds, they quickly bonded over their shared name. And the fact they were the only two boys in their Pre-K 3 class. And they both enjoy making silly sounds. And laughing, in general.And, really,...Continue Reading
Today it’s not the kids’ wellness, but mine. (The kids seem to be well, in case that’s why you stopped by. Thanks for asking. You probably don’t want to read the rest of this post. It’s kind of a grumpy one. And gross.).Sooo…back to my wellness. Thanks to the Lord’s healing through prayer at Serenity...Continue Reading
So, Sam is home again today. For those keeping track, this makes eight days of sick kids. Their tummies and my heart have had just about more than we can all handle.Oh, nebulous virus, why did you have to come and stay at our house? Why did you have to infect our bowels? (Doubly why...Continue Reading
Nurse Tina checking in to report that my three patients (Catie, Sam, Elisabeth) all tried school today. When I went to the twins’ school for lunch duty, Sam’s fever was back so I took both him and (his nurse) Elisabeth home with me. This morning, when M and I decided to send the kids (after...Continue Reading
A week ago, I never would have guessed I’d have the week I’ve had.(Did you follow that? Are you still reading?)On Friday, my dad called to say that the doctor was concerned about his heart. They found blockage in one of his arteries.M’s mom was here to help with the kids, so I travelled to...Continue Reading
The Taming of the Shrew quote (or Cheers for those of you as old as me) is for Nate.As you can see by this picture, Sam’s Tball games are warm.Hot actually.Not Texas Summer hot yet (we’ll call that the “White Hot Intensity of a Thousand Suns” Hot) but sunny enough for stunning pictures like this...Continue Reading
I have no words today.I don’t know why not. I planned to write a witty (yet perceptive) report of the girls’ ballet recital. I wanted to include a recap of Sam’s Tball game that captured the essence of four-year-old Tball. (Chaos is the essence, in case you’re wondering.)But I just got back from Kansas where...Continue Reading
Thank you, Apple, for Photo Streaming. Because of this small miracle of technology, I can snap a picture with my iPhone, which immediately appears on both our Mac desktop (which provides photo storage for our thousands of images) AND my laptop (which provides portability for blogging while I’m lying in the playroom with Nate).And vise...Continue Reading
This picture not only represents the gift of having my parents here for several days to celebrate Easter, but also the gift Sam has.The Gift of Gab.Sam has the unique talent that he can chat with anyone. Certainly with his Gigi as we all walked to the park. Certainly with M and me (constantly with...Continue Reading
As I’ve mentioned, I’m deep in the life of Albert Einstein. Most of his biography describes, teaches, and celebrates his Theory of Relativity. In the early 1900s, when the world was exploding with explosive things like World Wars and freethinkers, everyone was talking about the Theory of Relativity. Mainly, did anyone besides Einstein fully understand...Continue Reading
