That is the official birthday of our 3rd child. I will have a c-section at 11:30 and shortly after, we will have our new daughter. It is a Tuesday. That is in 3 weeks! They tell me I will be in the hospital for 48 hours to 72 hours. With my first two, I was…
Read moreBaby Gifts
I wanted to share with you all the gifts we have gotten from our family, first of all. I will post pictures of the shower gifts at another time, but thought I would start with these. Our families live in MN and really blessed us with gifts. My husband’s family even threw us a “shower…

Bronze Medal or iPod?
I found this old photo at church of a boy receiving a bronze medal for Royal Rangers. It got me thinking about where we are today in this post modern world, where perseverance, hard work, and sacrifice seems to have taken a back seat to instant downloads and virtual worlds. It takes years of work…

Read moreMmmm. Crunchy!
Lately, because of my plumbing problems, I have been drinking a whole lot of water. I like to put a slice of lemon in it and also a lot of ice. Do you think it is a problem that I try to pick out all the ice chips and crunch them up? I’m not talking…
Read moreBlessing or Burden?
Before I begin this post, let me just say that this topic came up this weekend while I was at a 4th of July celebration. This is not meant for anyone that reads me and I realize that is maybe all 2 of you, but nonetheless, if you think I may be talking about you,…
Read moreSick of high gas prices?
Its all about oil people. I found this movie “Who Killed the Electric Car” very eye opening. [googlevideo=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7202740060236675590] The dollar is tied to oil. The value of oil is what backs our currency. Anything that threatens this backing is systematically destroyed. Rising oil prices in the short term means a stronger demand for dollars. “The…
