A Pumpkin Peace Offering…

November 1st, 2013

Trick-or-Treating was cancelled in our town last night due to the weather. It was the controversy of all controversy. “When I was a kid we trick-or-treated in the hurricanes and monsoons. Nothing stopped us from ringing doorbells.” “I’m leaving my porch light on from 6-8 on Thursday only. Get the candy then or else.” Nevertheless, …

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

August 12th, 2013

So the boys have been on a real kick of “Boys Rule, Girls Drool”. It’s been a bit of a conflict as a mom outnumbered by boys. I honestly don’t know where it comes from, but I’ve been trying to reinforce that girls are God’s incredible creation too, and a gift. Different sure, but not …

How a Four Year Old Worships God

August 24th, 2011

God continues to teach me a TON through my sons. Lately, they’ve been so eager to want to pray for others and learn more about Him. I couldn’t want anything more as a mother than for my boys to love Jesus. Brad captured this sweet “worship service” that Henry performed without knowing anyone was listening. …

A Four Year Old Knockout

June 28th, 2011

Uncle Ryan let the boys borrow the Wii while I’ve been on recovery, which has provided some great entertainment for not only our boys, but also for our helpers. =) It amazes me how quickly four year olds can pick up on the games and how intensely competitive they’ve become… They are convinced when playing …

Henry Hula

February 28th, 2011

Henry has earned a lifetime of nicknames in his short little life. Henry the Hiccuper, H.Sam, 2-12, Smalls, Hen, Henners, Mr. Bo Jangles, and Henry Houdini are just a sampling. There’s something about him that just makes him so fun to joke around with…he gets sarcasm so well and can play right along with a …

The Year of The 4: Henry Samuel

January 31st, 2011

It’s BIRTHDAY WEEK!!!!!! Whoot! Whoot! It’s the Year of The 4. 4 Boys turning FOUR! We have a few special things in store this week (along with an ice storm headed our way), including a video celebrating each of our 4 boys individually. Since they have to share their birthday, we figured this would give …

Trying NOT to Make the Headlines

January 28th, 2011

Have you ever watched one of those political talk shows on TV where they invite several “adults” on the show and they all talk over the top of one another. You can’t understand any of them! I personally find it annoying. As our boys continue to grow and gain more intellectual independence, they also have …

Quadversations – Henry

August 3rd, 2010

I can’t pick a favorite “Quadversation” because that would be like picking a favorite child, but this one is a must watch. I love the way Henry expresses himself – his voice, his eyes, his little sayings… Henry makes friends so quickly with his outgoing personality and his ability to strike up a conversation about …
