We’ve been missing Peanut Butter since he’s been in Egypt these last 2 weeks. Everyone has been very excited to see him again tomorrow. Yep, tomorrow’s the big day when Daddy comes home! Except that I just got an e-mail from PB saying that they have to stay another week. That’s right, I get to [...]

With Peanut Butter being gone for 2 weeks, and my brother-in-law taking finals, it was the perfect week for a sleep-over! My sister Andrea and her daughter Vanessa came to stay with us Monday and Tuesday. We had so much fun with them! For FHE on Monday night, we tried out my new fondue pot. [...]

All day long, I have been smelling vinegar. It’s been driving me crazy! I sensed it the strongest whenever Apple was close, but it wasn’t until the evening that I discovered the source: his socks. You see, I occasionaly rinse my laundry in vinegar and I figured that his socks got a little too much. [...]

I don’t think I’ve ever said Happy President’s Day. I typically stick around the house on holidays like this, simply because it’s such a task to lug all six of us anywhere. But I decided to be adventurous today. Maybe it was my independent attitude this week…..Peanut Butter left for his two-week business trip to [...]

Last night, I read a post from my friend, Deanna, that made me stop and think. I was floored because it sounded like ME. How could she echo so completely my own thoughts and faults? Deanna, I hope you don’t mind me copying and pasting some of your words, because I think they are worthy [...]

I had a little pre-Valentines Day scare. When I got dressed this morning, I didn’t see my wedding rings (engagement, wedding, AND anniversary rings, Plus the 7-diamond, 2 ruby ring from my mom and grandma!!) in their usual spot on the top of my dresser. I was headed out the door, so I put it [...]

Two pictures from Taco’s birthday party that have nothing to do with my post…. Today, on my way to refill Taco’s lyme disease prescription, I got a message from Reese’s school saying that she had thrown up in class. Wait a minute! She was sick with the stomach virus LAST week. I told the nurse [...]

I just heard from my friend, Stacy, that Peanut Butter was in the latest Church News. There was an article about the Church in Latvia, and he was mentioned as one of the four missionaries who opened the country to missionary work. Cool! Now I wish we had a subscription…If you get the Church News, [...]

After dropping Reese off at her bus stop (in my jammies, I must add), Apple and I returned home to eat lunch. I asked him what he wanted. He replied, confidently, “Libres!” Not knowing what “libres” were, I asked him again. Once more, smiling, he replied, “Libres! I want libres.” “I don’t know what libres [...]

I have re-written the beginning of this post a dozen times already. How do you sum up in words your feelings for someone who has been a friend like Wendy? We met Wendy about 10 years ago, and not long after that, she became our favorite babysitter. It was sad to see her move away [...]
