I [...]

The enemy of our souls is hard at work:  ‘Why Believe in a God? Just be Good’ Ads Set to Run Next Week On D.C. Buses
This one follows a similar campaign in London; details about that are in the same article. 
It makes me smile.  Want to know why? 
If the enemy, Satan, is so hard at [...]

Now we know, and I am so glad its over.  I am so glad God knew before it even started.
Very interesting news story on our local news site this morning about tire safety and the age of tires even when they are sold as “new” - check it out:  Cracking the Code on the Age [...]

Oh, Marri, I know how you love these!  Just for you, my friend…
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? A soap opera character maybe?  My mom just liked the name. 
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Thursday, when some (ahem) not-so-friendly-and-compassionate folks decided to comment loudly and publicly (read:  yelled) at a gas [...]

I’m having a blast in Charleston visiting my brother’s family and meeting my new nephew, hence the lack of blog posts.  Love ya’ll, but I do have priorities, you know.  :)  Here’s a random list for you…have a great day!

A cold front swept through the South.  I had forgotten how much I do not like [...]

Read 2 Chronicles 7:14 and pray for our nation.
I am in the process of painting the breakfast area, finally.  It is a slow process with the kids and the limited time I this week to do it.
But I cannot wait to have it finished!
I pulled out the breakfast area cafe’ curtains from our last house [...]

We have officially “broken” the pacifiers for S.  I cut the tips off and she threw them in the trash.  Only to try to retrieve them later. 
I promptly took the trash out. 
Naptime and nighttime I had to rock her to sleep, but she slept all night long!  So far so good!
G is doing great with [...]

Feeling particularly uninspired lately as we’ve been very busy last week and this week.  So…another randomness post. 

The weather is still incredibly gorgeous here.  We are just soaking it in.  Love it!
I’m looking forward to tomorrow night’s ladies’ event at our church.  Leslie Nease for Survivor: China is speaking.
I’m in charge of childcare for said [...]

I am watching the VP debates while I type this. 
The weather has been absolutely wonderful here this week.  Just beautiful.
My heart is so broken - our favorite play place where we take music class has closed. 
G keeps asking for Dr. Jennifer (at Tot Spot) and I am not sure what to tell him.
And [...]

My sweet friend Mindy thinks she’s funny.  :)  Check that link.
When we got out of church tonight, it was storming.  G has a blast running through the rain and puddles. 
He giggled all the way to the car.
G got a stuffed dinosaur from his Nana and Pa last night. 
So far, it has sampled cheese, turned off [...]
