I was really tired today. Not sure if it was a sugar crash, a pregnancy thing, or a post-party weekend thing. Either way, I alternated between naps and work today, and that seemed to work out just fine. I did a whole bunch of laundry, sorted and put away baby clothes, and cleaned up random […]

This morning we dragged ourselves out of bed after a night of not great sleep and less than usual sleep because of fall back. But, we rallied, got the kids fed and dressed, and ourselves to church on time. We drove since I’m having a lot of trouble as my pregnancy advances with hip and

We are trying out a new tradition on Saturday. Since we get lots of breaks throughout the week, we’ve switched from cereal and cartoons on Saturday to a big family breakfast and games instead. We got up and made eggs, bacon and tater tots, and even a few strawberries. Lover and I played a few

Yesterday we got right out of bed and worked on getting the chicken in the oven and the desserts made for the Life Group meal. Then we headed to church (just in the nick of time!) and the kids went to their classes while we sat in service. Our youth pastor and I were accidentally

Saturday we scoured the internet for something fun to do and the conclusion – everything is canceled. 😛 So instead we headed down to Castle Rock to do a little shopping and spend some time outside at the outlet mall.

Friday is another of my writing days. I came down and did breakfast with the kids, and then took a shower while they did chores. Lover dropped KK off at school and ran to the store. Then I got started on writing (more edits of Intruder) and Lover supervised school while I wrote for a
