We have many friends scattered all over our great country. This is the result of Bible college and Seminary. And the convergence of two large family's address books. So, we are leaving for Florida today to celebrate Christmas with my family. The problem is, that we haven't mailed our Christmas cards yet. To many of you this will seem like no big deal. But you all know what you think of the person whose card you receive the week after Christmas. So the cards have to be mailed today. 650 cards. Oh, yes, we are officially mentally insane.

Another problem is that we did not pick up the cards from the printer until around 8:30 p.m. just last night. Actually, the printer brought them to me. Tracked me down at a Christmas Party. We put our children to bed and the ink started flowing. Computer ink that is. And some Bic brand ink as well.

We hit the sack between 2 am this morning so we could have at least a little rest. And the stuffing, licking and ink started again. I was busy with something else so Daddy had to finish the cards. I was in another room about 30 feet away when I heard mumbling. I asked what he said. And he said, a little louder,

"There are too many M's in this book!"

Well, there you have it.
So, if you receive a handwritten card and your name begins with M, it was written with much love.

What was I doing, you ask?

Now I am going to hang my head in shame that I have published photos of my laundry room on the internet...

I could barely get 50 out in time! Wow!
Ours was beautiful and typed-so hopefully it didn't trouble Patrick too much!
My laundry room looks worse than yours and I only have 3 people to do laundry for right now!!
So glad to find you're a blogger now too! I have been a little slack lately. This pregnancy has been much harder on me, but I am hopefully going to start updating at least a couple times a week again.

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 .

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 ...
