A soul that walks on water leaves no footprints, but will make waves."
It’s been a wonderfully busy week. I’ve had stuff going on at all times. Monday…I can’t even remember Monday…what happened? Oh…I went to Publix with the boys and got a few things. Doesn’t sound like much but it took us a long time to just get o…
Already we are seeing the differences in our children. Yesterday we had our first appointment with Kathy (our midwife). We were able to hear the heartbeat of our little one and it was exciting to hear that very real sign that there is a reason I’m so t…
Today we are unexpectedly watching Joey again. Normally Samson, Joey’s dad, doesn’t work on Friday’s and I have one free day. I had planned to take Owen to my brother’s house and have lunch with him today. I am still planning to do this but now I have…
Owen is in Big Brother Training as I believe I’ve mentioned before. Joey’s presence in the house each day has been a test for both of us and most of the time we do pretty well. Owen often has to wait for my attention as I comfort a crying Joey and try…

I neglected to tell anyone about Friday, and I had a very nice Friday. I babysat Joey and he was a good boy, Owen was good and very funny in his attempts to be helpful. Every dirty diaper is “trash” and needs to be taken to any open receptacle that is…
My little 4×4 garden in the backyard is producing! I have planted about 6 different herbs and some lettuce out there and though only three things are showing up at this point I am not discouraged because I’m excited to get any results at all.

Owen has been saying “I don’t want you” to me, but I don’t take it personally. What he really means is I want you but saying “don’t want” has come to mean both “want” and “don’t want” just as “Dan’t you” is said when he is giving or receiving something.…
