A soul that walks on water leaves no footprints, but will make waves."
Owen woke up with a fever this morning. It’s not too high so I’m going to let it burn for a while and hopefully kill whatever is causing it. He is sleeping right now and I’m so glad. He has whined and cried and wanted nothing but to be held all mornin…
At our wonderful sewing party last Thursday night (which I meant to write about but never did) I was given a brief tour of Madison’s bedroom which now is complete with bunk beds. She showed me how quickly she can climb to the top bunk and while she was…
Last night on our way home from a very busy day I told Kris that with a week like we have in front of us I need to be absolutely firm about making lists and sticking to them. It is the only way I know of to be efficient with my time. So far this mornin…
Not a lot of sleep in between. I slept fast and hard, but not hard enough to keep baby brother from waking me up at about 4:30. I don’t remember Owen ever doing this to me but this kid is violent. He’s punching, kicking, banging his head, wiggling his…
Yesterday, one of the first things out of Owen’s mouth was “Go to Mall?” I’m not sure where this came from, but he said it just the same and when asked about it insisted that yes, he indeed likes the mall and wants to go. I was in the mood to get out,…

I finally finished painting on Saturday. It only took about a month and poor Owen was back and forth in different beds at different stages but he handled it pretty well.
I worked on it pretty much all afternoon on Saturday. In the morning I drove…
Yesterday we had a bit of a long day, eventful and nice it was. I was exhausted by the end of it and had to have a hot shower to get over it, but nice it was.
We began without Joey. I had let his parents know that I would need the afternoon off and…
Kris has given his perspective on our new bed in several posts (see part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 5.1) while I have mentioned it now and then in mine. I would like to give a bit of my perspective here. I don’t wish to rehash the entire story, only to say what…
Owen has learned the art of taking his clothes off. I’ve been encouraging him to put his shorts on by himself and he’s been getting his arms in and out of sleeves but I haven’t pushed real hard on the dressing thing for this very reason. I think he loo…
