We’re slowly, but surely, checking off some important summertime activities. This time…sidewalk chalk.

ALL OF THE SUDDEN, Samuel seems like a bigger baby.  After he got out of the hospital we realized that my milk supply was low.  So last week I started supplementing with formula and baby food.  And, boy, does he love it.  Bananas, Applesauce, Green beans, Squash…he loves it all.  And he’s trying to sit…

Caleb was convinced that we were going on vacation today with the way we loaded up the car.  But we only just went to Fort Worth.  It did kind of feel like a vacation, away from the typical work-load of Saturdays.  We’ve decided we enjoy "playing" and are going to do it more often!  Everytime…

Jacob finished strong after a rough start, and Caleb is our newest soccer star!  Now it’s World Cup mania at our house.

some things I enjoy (don’t always buy, just enjoy). I LOVE this bag. Simple, but so chic.  (It’s in the JUST enjoy from a far category.) Found these necklaces.  I’m a sucker for momma-jewelry.  The pearl makes ’em. Put Samuel in a pair of these tonight.  Boy, are they cute!  I might need another pair.…

I used to think that the longer you parent, the better you get at it. WRONG!  The longer I parent, the harder it is.  The longer I parent, the more I realize how much I don’t know.  The longer I parent, the more I question my parenting.  The longer I parent, the more I realize…

The boys started soccer camp today.  Both of them…so cute.  Caleb’s first time at a camp.  He walked away giving me a thumbs-up and a big grin.  Went to pick him up and he was still all grins.  15 minutes later a coach is bringing Jacob in…early.  All by himself.  He walks right over to…

It’s been a loooonnng week.  Each day seems to creep by.  We’re staying plenty busy…have been to the pool twice, met a friend from high school for lunch, having a play date today.  But I spend the day referee-ing which makes it exhausting. Derek’s at church camps for a couple of days, so I’m on…

ceases to amaze me.  What he lacks in talent (which is only occasional because he seems to be good at most everything), he makes up for in personality! Case in point: GOLF CAMP last week. He was the second to youngest of about 12 campers, ranging in age from 6-15. He’s good at golf, for…

Summer never starts until you visit the pool.  It was Samuel’s first time and even with the cold water, he LOVED it.  Notice they all have matching trunks.
