Leaving No Footprints

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.

The d…

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.…

Owen has been wearing this little baseball cap lately. Not all the time. He just likes to put it on about once a day and giggle and then he’s done with it. I just think it’s funny how different it makes him look. Of course it’s a little big for his h…

What is happening to my happy little boy? He has done nothing but whine this morning and I’m ready to pull HIS hair out. I’m not touching mine as it seems to want to fall out on it’s own. I guess it’s pregnancy but I don’t remember the wads coming out…

Do you ever feel like you are exactly where you are supposed to be but everything else in life has progressed (or in some cases regressed) without you? I feel like that today. Not that I’m behind…just not in sync with what has been my life. I’m not…

I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve posted anything. I think I’ve just been distracted.

Sunday was Mother’s Day and I had such a nice day. Kris had a card waiting for me in the morning along with some treats and we went to church (which was g…

There’s no picture for this one, I guess I’m a slacker. I just wanted to post Owen’s latest verbal accomplishment. Yesterday, I offered him something, probably his sippy cup and he answered with this…”No, I don’t want it.”

I know people don’t like…

We had a busy day yesterday. We picked up Elizabeth and Pierce to go to the zoo and when we got there it was packed. I mean…had to park closer to Nolensville Road than the entrance, packed. There were several school buses there and just lots and lot…
