More Than A Song

Last night I was upstairs on the computer, talking on the phone and happily reading/commenting on blog posts when out of the blue the lights went out. I was talking to hubby on the phone and told him it was darker than dark, I couldn’t even see my hand in front of my face. You […]

I was out of town for about two and a half weeks, visiting my daughter and even though I got home last week, I just can’t seem to get caught up on things. Several blog friends awarded something on their blogs and I’m very late in acknowledging those. Both Lynne and Stacy (the other one […]

“Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore?” Today is my daughter Elizabeth’s birthday! She’s in Alabama right now and we won’t get to see her on her big day so I’m sad about that. Her boyfriend is going to see her though and I’m sure that is way more exciting than seeing the parents. 😆 […]

“…12, Ladybugs came to the ladybugs picnic…..” I used to love that little song on Sesame Street, it’s from years ago though when my kids were small. I won’t post the youtube video I found of it but here’s a link to it if you want to watch it. I showed it to Katelyn quite […]

pictures! I’ve got so many that it’s hard to narrow them down…..usually kids and babies make cute pictures. I’ll try not to post all 300 of them or however many I took. Some are duplicates so maybe you’ll only get 200 of them, HA. This one was in the hospital right after Sam was born, […]

We finally made it home late Saturday evening and I slept really good in MY bed! Sunday is just always busy around here so I’m needing to regroup today and get some things done. I’m heading to the store in a few minutes for much needed groceries and hope I can get home before it […]

I haven’t done a menu in a couple of weeks because I’ve been out of town and not able to post as much! I really feel a need to get back somewhat organized this week so this will give me something to shoot for while grocery shopping. Monday……Maple Hoisin Salmon, green beans Tuesday…..Baked chicken, stir […]

My time in Charlotte is soon coming to an end and I’m ready to be home! Hubby is flying in on Thursday morning early, will go get new tires for my suburban so I won’t have any more blowouts on my car. He’s anxious to see new baby Sam and after he gets his visit […]

Last Sunday before Kathryn had the baby I was able to go to morning church with them. They’ve had a little bit of a struggle finding a church that felt right for them since they’ve been in Charlotte. The first one they went to for quite a while but decided they needed something a little […]

As I’ve said before, my hat’s off to you girls with kids at home who blog as well! I don’t know how you do all you do…..cook, clean, tend to kids and find time to write. I’ve been doing laundry, meals and playing or taking care of Katelyn and find myself rather tired! I think […]

New baby Sam made his appearance Monday night a little after 10 eastern time! And what a coming out that was. Mom went into labor after her dr. appointment and went to the hospital around 6 in the evening, things went pretty fast for a while there. They thought he’d be born by 8 o’clock […]

Plans were made last week for me (and other family members) to come to Charlotte on Friday when K thought she would have her baby. I would drive to Tuscaloosa, AL to spend the night with my other daughter and then make the rest of the trip Friday. When Kat called Thursday afternoon to say […]

Here’s the update for the post I wrote below, about the baby. Kat was to have her membranes stripped Thursday afternoon and all doctors in her clinic agreed she’d go into labor within 24 hours. She’s about 3 cm dilated. At her appointment Thursday the dr. decided he couldn’t do it after all, they were […]

My daughter’s due date is this weekend. She went Tuesday afternoon for her appointment and asked her doc if she’d strip her membranes for her. The doc said sure! And was K ready to go into labor that night….Kathryn told her no! Jeremy’s grandmother was coming in Tuesday night, he was picking her up so […]

I’ve still been sticking to my walking every morning, by myself mostly which I still am not fond of! But it helps that I go to the small city park with a walking track because if I go in the mornings around 8ish there are so many other people out there doing the same thing. […]
