Have you ever had a really bad fall and then ended up with a deep thick scab? Then a few days later when you have not forgotten about the scab but it doesn't hurt any more, part of it get's ripped off and you are reminded all over again about the original injury?Have you ever broken a bone and after it heals you bump that limb and feel not pain but a reminder that you were once injured?One year

My family and I have come back from our two weeks at the cottage. What an amazing time we had! We had a a few days of the kids taking turns barfing the second week but not so it slowed anyone down... we aren't really sure why it happened...There was sun, fun, food, family, reading, napping, swimming, friends... sigh... so wonderful!Here is a link to see the pictures... enjoy!!!

We dropped the kids off at Camp on Sunday. We rushed back to Hamilton to pick up some people who are staying with us for the week. Pernell and I are staying in the boys room for the week... I am certianly not sleeping well... maybe due to a different bed, maybe due to the airconditioner blaring, maybe due to thinking of the kids, maybe due to the anticipation of holidays (FOUR SLEEPS!!!)...I

I am amazed that it has been a whole ten years since I became a mother. It blows me away that I have a child who is now double digits.Samantha,You are a beautiful, caring, intelligent, kind girl. You love your friends and family with a love that is as great as it is abundant. I love your laugh, hugs, conversation and out look on the world. I am brought to reality by your challenge to make the

That is what I was told by my now eight year old son today.I am happy too!What an absolute joy it is to raise this boy! Lucas is full of love, care and kindness. He loves people, sees the joy in life, loves to experience new things, and has an abundant love for his family.Lucas greeted me when I came back from walking the dog this morning at 6:30am, with a big hug and said, "No need to stay

I am at work today... no one should have to work on a Friday! I am missing time with my Jake... sigh... I brought in Beef stew in the slow cooker and Apple Crisp to share with my friends... it is yummy! My friends liked that treat as well!!So the first huh I have is why does anyone work on a Friday... the second huh I have is, why do people riding motorcycles have radios on... surely they

Yes it is cold... yes I still gardened this weekend...yes Jacob still asks me daily how many more sleeps until summer...I want flip flop weather, sweat on my brow, sun on my face and to be able to pack away at least some of my winter belongings... sigh...Until then here is a fun fact to read while dreaming of the possibility of maybe having a summer in '08...Flip-flops are also known as "slops" (

I got up that morning determined to get groceries... Pernell thought I was just a little more weird then normal but let me waddle off. As I stepped from my car in the grocery store lot I felt the first pain... I better hurry! By the time I got to the melons I was breathing heavy and flushed... no one seemed to notice. I did controlled breathing as I payed by debit, that didn't phase the cashier

The past few weeks has been super hard for me. An emotional roller coaster... with very few highs but a million steep slops down... downs that are not seen coming.About two weeks ago a friend from college had her second miscarriage. She was a t 16 weeks. My heart breaks for her especially as they do not have any children to go home to. My children over the past two years have certainly helped

Today would have been a day I could have looked down into my arms as I cradled our new born son. I could have gazed into the eyes of a child dependent on me. I could have seen the future and the blessings coming our way. I could have rocked our sweet prince and told him how much I loved him. Together Pernell and I would dream, hope and be blessed by the creation God had provided for us.Today

Good for them! I was almost brought to tears reading about how hard this organization is working at doing the best they can for the environment! It is especially hard for a store that sells paper products, computer and electronics, and so many things that are considered disposable.If only a few start... it will make a difference!

Here is a link that gives a lot of stories about how different cities and businesses did for Earth Hour. It really is wonderful that so many embraced this event. I really am blown away by the participation, especially knowing that this is only year two of it happening, and year one of it happening across the word!Earth Hour 2008 reportsI can't wait to find out what impact this had on our

Last year's Earth Hour, which happened only in Sydney, Australia, had the effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for an hour. This year's event is global, so savings will be even bigger.If 10,000 households turn off 10 lights tomorrow night for just one hour, we'll avert the CO2 created by an average apartment in a whole year.Landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge, Sears Tower, and the Sydney

My daughter is turning 10. So far in life she has always been open about everything in her life, and respected the boundaries we have put in her life... we want to keep it that way.So Sam brings to my attention different things that are "in", in various areas of life. Sam often informs me of the cool sites on the Internet that her friends are involved with. She wants to be part of all of them

You may remember this post...Well soon after that the ladybug went missing in the boys room. Jake was devastated.Today I found a live ladybug in my bedroom. Jake said, "Awwwwww mom you found her, Alyiah and my ladybug."It has now been about 15 minutes since we "found" her... she is missing again...oh well

At church last week, Susan took her kids down stairs. When she went down, her husband, Randy, went to sit down. He moved the chair she had been sitting right next to his. When Susan came up she moved the chair over as she walked between the two. Randy watched her sit down and then adjusted his chair over to right next to her again... watching Randy enjoying the moment of sitting with his

Well the kids had their last swimming lesson last night... then we stayed for the family swim after. We had invited a few people but they couldn't come for various reasons...Good thing as Jake ended up barfing in the pool... oops! Swallowed a bit too much water... it worked out as we were just planning on getting out... other families not so happy about the 10 min they had to sit out while the

If 10,000 people file just one 1040 form online instead of on paper, we'll save more than two trees' worth of paper.
