Jump, Jump!
19 Jan 2012You had the privilege {or something like that} of seeing a very pregnant ME jump in yesterday’s post, but there is no one in this family that likes to jump more than this guy… Look at that height! Not bad for a five-year-old! By the way, a mini-trampoline is one of the very best things [...]
Exploring New Territory
16 Jan 2012Just over a week ago, Big J and I ventured to a new children’s museum in the area with good friends! The museum had a special dinosaur exhibit that we spent the morning checking out, but the rest of the museum was fabulous as well! I love watching the boys discover new things as they [...]

21 Jun 2011Well, it’s not all finalized, but I’m posting our curriculum plan for now! I’ll update this post as we get everything in order – the fall is sneaking up on me! ***** Big J will be starting kindergarten at Elm Tree Academy {ELM are my initials – we thought that was fun}! {Just a glimpse [...]
The Graduate
20 May 2011Wednesday night, he took a big step… and graduated from preschool! There were adorable songs being sung and this mama was so grateful for a preschool that teaches a love for the Lord right alongside letters, numbers and manners. I definitely teared up as they sang “Thy Word.” Oh my heart. And then they got [...]
As soon as his fourth birthday party was over, Big J started planning for his fifth. He wanted a “Yoda Birthday Party.” He’s never even seen Yoda in a movie since we’ve only let him see Episode IV (the very first one made for those of you who aren’t sure), so I made the executive [...]
It’s not possible. This little peanut CANNOT be turning FIVE today. Or, as we called him at the hospital, our “little yellow peanut” thanks to some jaundice… {you can read his birth story briefly here} It could not have happened FIVE years ago already… that we welcomed this beautiful little boy into our arms and [...]
Big Decision
12 Apr 2011I wrote this guest post about our decision to send our children to public school eight months ago. The comments in that post really softened my heart to being open to God’s leading – to make the best decision for each child when it comes to school. But, we “knew” where He was leading. That’s [...]
Surprise Date! {Multitude Monday}
11 Apr 2011The hubby and I both love surprising the boys with fun day trips, events and the like. It was my turn this weekend, as I surprised Big J with a trip to a local high school to see Seussical, one of my favorite musicals! The high school is actually in the district where I used [...]

3 Mar 2011Heard around here: “Let’s wrestle!” “Smackadoodle!” “Mommy, he won’t get off me!” {Big J about Little J – the younger is figuring out how to defend himself – and that he can win!} “Can I have more cheese crackers, Puh-lease?!” “I love you Little J.” “Oh.” “Why is that house blue?” “Why is that truck [...]
