…is an apt title not only for this post, but for these past few weeks as well. Case in point-#3 “graduated” from “Sharp Camp”-I’m not sure I knew this was happening though I’m certain I’d been told, so I’m glad I got there on time and not in sweaty running clothes. He was terribly proud, sang all his songs, threw read more
This guy. What to do. Recently, he’s really gotten into telling tall tales, with great emphasis, imagery, and flourish. His brothers, LP in particular, have finally come around to it all, and no longer accusingly say “YOU’RE LYING! YOU ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH!” every time he embellishes something. LP may be in a bit of a tattle phase read more
It was a lovely weekend here in South Carolina, one we started off on the right foot when the Eldest’s team, the Cardinals, beat the number one team in the league to advance to the next round of the the GLL playoffs. Although we won 16-9, it was a serious nail-biter, the kind of game that makes me wonder how read more
Yesterday, LP graduated from Kindergarten. Incidentally, his cousin, B, also turned six!His other cousin, G, pictured below, who is 13 and 5’6”, got his yearbook yesterday and could. not. stop. talking. about it. It was awesome. I loved it. I loved hearing about how many photos he was in, and what he was doing in them, and who he was read more
Yesterday, #3 decided it was time to “take a haircut”, as he and LP call it, because according to him, “all my hair is standing straight up.” This wasn’t necessarily the case, but he was looking a little shaggy.While there, #3 informed the stylist that after taking his haircut, he was going to have his fingernails and toes painted with read more
Dearest Reese, we couldn’t agree more! We loved you in Sweet Home Alabama and Legally Blonde, and though you’re not really a lawyer but you just play one in a movie, we’re going to take your word above as law. (Props to our friend Katie for showing us this little gem, by the way!) With Mother’s Day just behind us read more
This past week during our *Parenting Anonymous meeting, one of our group members said that her 8 year-old daughter asked her if being a mother was hard. Being the thoughtful, empathetic person that she is, she began her answer by saying that being a mother is the most rewarding job one can have, that you can’t fully understand what it read more
Yesterday morning, my co-Sunday School teacher, Ben, and I facilitated a discussion on college for our Sunday School class that was primarily led by three church members home from college. It was a great conversation-relaxed, honest, funny, thoughtful-and I wish I could say the same for every time Ben and I get our God on. But we were talking read more
Good morning, friends! Today, we’re giving away one of these adorable Flap Happy Sun Hats! All you have to do to enter is answer this question: What’s your favorite summer memory? For those of you who aren’t quite as verbose, ie the engineers that took my English classes at Clemson because they thought it was going to be easy, you read more
This Friday is International Day at the kids’ school, so they’ve been practicing songs and dances for their performance. It’s rare that we get to see any of these songs or dances beforehand, not because they’re trying to keep it under lock and key, but likely because they think they’re so awesome that they don’t really have to practice. Humility read more
There’s a prolonged scene from one of my favorite books, Outlander, where Jamie, one of the protagonists, has been flogged and beaten and broken by James Randall, his nemesis. Somehow, Jamie’s new wife Claire, who also happens to have time-traveled through the stones at Craigh na Dun from 1940s Scotland to 1740s Scotland, manages to traverse through snow, fight off read more
