Kindergarten

29 October 2010

The bus doors opened and so did my tear ducts. I didn’t think I’d be “that” Mom that welled up with emotion. But, I did, and so it was…our days changed forever. Ryan and his buddy Mason. Claire and Leah, with their Little People bus, came out to wave bye-bye. Ryan’s first day of afternoon [...]

Hi. I have just a second. Enough time to scrawl out a quick hello. Hello future self. Remember, this moment? When the Kindergarten bus was due in 20 minutes, Papa Den took Molly to the grocery store to pick up frozen lasagna and at least one baby was crying out a mamamamahhh from up stairs. [...]

Dear Daughters, I’m sorry I don’t have baby books for you all. I have loved your milky grins, curly-q hair and sparkling eyes. I’ve endured sleepless nights, potty training and baby proofing.

Simplicity At Last

I’ve been searching for the perfect remedy for clutter, a balance in work & parenthood, and the answer for how God works in my life. Project after project, prayer after prayer, plan after plan..searching. But, simplicity found me. Or maybe, it was there all along and I just opened my eyes to see it standing [...]

Proverbs 31: 17b Her arms are strong for her tasks. As most of you know, I am over 2/3s the way through a 90 day exercise program. I wrote about why in a previous post. My blog, furniture projects and TV watching have all taken a bit of a backseat to my fitness routine. [...]

Took the Long Way Home Driving with the windows down In thoughtful daydream Summer sunset in my mirror Chasing long gone memories Took the long way home Wind whipping around my hair Cool speed of evening’s first call Pink and Gold and Blue Happy freedom in my heart Love, Jess
