Since they’re headed up here for Turkey day (two visits in one month! I’m so excited I can hardly stand it! ) and I’ve mentioned it in two different posts (here and here), I thought I better do a write up about Mom and Dad’s (Grandma and Grandpa or, less and less frequently, Grandma Ann [...]

Sam is quite the music lover (and aspiring dancer?) Â And, because everyone needs a little joy this morning, I give you Sam enjoying Jack’s Big Music Show.

Y’all remember the post a while back about Sam’s Baby Squashes? Well, tonight I was videoing Sam dancing to Jack’s Big Music show (I promise, videos to follow soon) and of course my memory card filled up.

Sam has lately been trying to figure out how to jump. It’s really cute and he thinks it’s the funniest. Game. EVER. On Monday, his big brothers were trying to teach him how, and I actually got it on film. But, um. . . what do you think he says when he falls down? (I [...]

Today, Texas Health Resources Momblog posted a submission of mine about being present in the moment. This is something I’ve really been struggling with lately, and I think maybe this weekend was a sort of breakthrough, though entirely unintended. Part of the time we were just too busy for me to even think about somehow [...]

Have you ever heard the poem “Babies Don’t Keep?” Most people probably at least know the last two lines of “So quiet down cobwebs, Dust go to sleep. I’m rocking my baby, and babies don’t keep.” I’ve always loved those lines, and the whole poem (which I’ll put below) chokes me up every. single. time. [...]
