Friday

I do apologize for my blogging hiatus this week. There has been much to write about but my energy levels are at an all-time low. So, this post will be random.

News Alert: My birthday is on Monday. I usually, in the past, have sent out a news bulletin to all about my impending birthday starting on September 1. This marks the 50-day mark. Thirty days in September and twenty in October. How convenient for me and all who love me. I never intended this to be selfish; just helpful. This year the news bulletins were not produced. On September 1, I was consumed with planning my baby's first birthday and the start of WEE Love Academy the next day.

Patrick and I both have a sinus cold. We both took some medicine last night and are WORSE today! How did this happen? We both sound like sick frogs!! The good news is: this confirms that we do sleep in the same bed!! That's it. Sleep. Although, sleep does not come easy these days. I feel like if I cough just 37 more times, I am going to need a windpipe transplant. He doesn't have the cough. Maybe that's bad news. Is he sneaking to the couch during the night? I'll have to check on this.....

Luke is learning to read. His teachers are great. Mrs. H & Mrs. C. We read on e book every night. He is so excited to bring home a new book from the Media Center. He has learned lots already. Every afternoon he plays on Starfall. This website is a wonderful tool for teaching children to read.

The girls are starting to fuss a LITTLE. OK, maybe I exagerrated a little bit. They fuss A LOT. They have to sit on the pew facing each other, apologize, proclaim their love, and hug. My sisters and I NEVER fussed a bit! (OK, so maybe I exaggerated a little more. I am sure they will comment!)

Paul is very close to walking. He will let go of one object, twist, then grab another object for stability. He is getting braver every day!

My camera is on the blink right now, so there are no pictures until it is repaired. Happy Friday!!

Many of you have emailed me and asked questions about this blog over the past several months. So, I am going to "borrow" this information from one of my bloggy friends, AJ . (No, I don't know her, but I read her blog daily. 1) How do I join the blog? There is no way to officially "join" the blog. If you're a reader, you are a part! If you'd like to join in on the conversation by commenting, see the next question. 2) How do I leave a comment? Step 1) Look at the bottom of whatever post you'd like to comment on. It will say: Posted by Laura at 8:30 p.m. 0 comments Sometimes it will not say that. In that case, you'll see all the comments from that one post listed beneath it. Scroll to the bottom and look for it to say this: Post a comment Step 2) Now click on the word "comment(s)" and it will take you to the comments page. Step 3) Look for the text box on the right side of the page under the words "Leave your comment." Type ou...

On Valentine's Day 2007 Patrick and I decided that we would not get each other a gift. This was the first time we had made such a deal. I did pick up a card for him and filled it out. Valentine's Day was on a Wednesday and we really didn't see each other much until after church that night. He came home exhausted. We had our little family of five all together in the Family Room and I handed him his card. I had signed it the way I usually do with an extra note on the very bottom: P. S. Baby Boy due to arrive in September. (Now, I didn't know for sure he was a boy, but I had a feeling) Patrick FELL INTO THE FLOOR!! Fast forward 7 months. I was very busy getting ready to open WEE Love Academy, the weekday preschool ministry at church. I was thinking that I would get the Preschool started a few weeks then the baby would come. Well, Preschool started on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. It was a great day and I came home energetic! I thought nothing of it just busied m...

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never ...
