"When it rains, it pours" right? We had our wheel fly off the Excursion on the freeway a couple weeks ago. Last week at horse-riding lessons Emily's horse tossed her head and stopped short in such a way that Emily was thrown over the top of the horse. All the girls watching her were terrified for they saw her do a half flip in the air and land on her neck. They were sure she'd be Continue Reading
Tender Mercies in Trouble
We took another summer road trip last week! This time we were headed to D.C.. We were excited to meet my cousin and my sister and her children there for a 'kid swap'. (Summer tradition where you trade children for a few days :-). Our cousin would be taking my 3 older girls and my sister's oldest daughter for a fun time in D.C. where she lives and is currently completing a secondary degree at Continue Reading

Today I had left the babies for an hour with my Continue Reading

Especially since the twin pregnancy and c-section and nursing (which always is painful for me but I've come to ignore it) and having little to no time to take care of my own body! (I have Continue Reading
