Sick Child and Giving Birth to McNuggets
August 30, 2007Monday
August 28, 2007Our Sitter took the week off. We’re trying to come up with creative things to do since the kids are home all day.

The Many Faces of Grace
August 28, 2007Gracie and I went out for breakfast on Saturday. She chose Country Kitchen. We were seated in a booth across from each other…until Gracie asked if she could sit over there…and pointed next to me. It was sweet. She wore a dress, I did her hair, and I put make up on her. I pulled [...]
Thursday
August 28, 2007For about 15 minutes Thursday – around 5:30 – we had hail and straight winds. This is the neighbor behind us. The winds pulled the tree up by the roots and into their driveway/yard.
