For those of you who have not seen me plaster this all over facebook – or those of you who have but don’t understand it – I am hoping that this explanation can help move you to take action and sign our petition! Basically here’s what is going down: The state of IL has… read more »
Twenty-Twelve. Project: Be.

I figured i’d make an attempt to start the year out with at least one on-time, non-backdated post. Considering that i’ve hardly moved off the couch all day, this shouldn’t be too hard of a task. I’ve been thinking on a few different concepts lately – namely that of choosing a “word” for the year,… read more »
November 1.

How did it get to be November already? I have been trying to avoid November. I mean, yes it is a GREAT reason to celebrate – it’s Kendall’s 3rd birthday! (and my daddy’s 58th on the same day) – but with the birthday comes the end of one era, and the start of another. I… read more »
Do Unto Others.
You might think this is gonna be a real preachy post about The Golden Rule. Or maybe you think I’m going to spout off about some random event that makes me want to half-quote Scriptures to make them fit my situation. But I can promise you it’s neither of those. “Do Unto Others” simply is… read more »
Ten Years.

Days when all four of my beautiful K’s can participate in activities together. Days when… read more »

Although, when it’s 98 degrees and eleventyhundred percent humidity outside – I’m pretty sure summer is still HERE! But it’s a new month, and with the newness of the month, comes the anticipated newness of the… read more »
Hoppy Easter.

It never gets old to use that! And i mean, really, how often do you say “hoppy” anything in like, September? No, it’s only around Easter. So there, i am using it. Super cheesiness and all! Anyhoo. (don’t ask about the above picture. it’s just kaylen. Enough said. and yes she was celebrating Easter by… read more »
Project: Life

I was sitting here feeling like i wanted to blog, needed to blog, needed to find some way to express all that is going on in my head and heart these days…and was stumped on a title. Some days I know what i want to talk about, and the title just flows from there.… read more »
The Real Answer.
The real answer to all of the questions is “I don’t know.” How are things going? I don’t know. How is Kendall doing? I don’t know. How long is she going to be on TPN? I don’t know. How am I holding up? I REALLY don’t know. I tend to not update a lot when… read more »
