Ok, so I’m a bit behind. I think I have an excuse Aliyah was 32 inches in length (off the charts) 19 lb. 11 oz. (25th percentile) and her head circ. was 17 1/8 inches. In other words, she’s what Dr. Sears calls a banana - as she grows in length, she does not grow proportionately in [...] Related posts:

Is it a bad sign that I just glanced around my house, saw the autrocious mess and shrugged, giving a little ambivalent sigh? Maybe it’s the heat and no AC, maybe it’s my mischievious 1 year old who I chase around ALL DAY NONSTOP without relief because she screams bloody murder if left with anyone [...] Related posts:

Social blogging scares me, not to mention that myspace is so busy and infested with ads. I’m so glad my friend “gets it”. I’m trying out vox right now, it’s a social blogging tool but not as insane in design as myspace. I’ll probably close that account soon though, I’m pretty happy with blogger. If I [...] Related posts:

I have moved A LOT in my life. The longest I ever lived anywhere as a kid was when I was living in Laingsburg, MI. I lived there from 8th grade through high school graduation. From the time I was married to now, we have moved 4 times, and we’ve been married 7 years. I believe [...] Related posts:

…till moving day. We decided to just bless people with the stuff we want to get rid of. Those things should be disappearing over the next week or so. I have plenty of boxes and packing paper (thanks to a person at David’s company who just moved and hadn’t tossed her boxes yet) so I will probably [...] Related posts:

This is a cross-post from our Revolution blog and I thought David said it well. We’re moving. About 2 minutes south of where we live now. God used outside circumstances to turn the prophetic light-bulb on…so to speak. When we first moved into our house it was affordable. Due to circumstances beyond much of our control, it [...] Related posts:

Looks like we might have a new home. We looked at the promising apartment this evening and liked it. We figured we’ll probably save about $120 in electric/gas and we’ll be saving $225 a month in rent, $20 a month in trash and sewer and in December our car is paid off and we’ll be [...] Related posts:
