Category Archives: Mommy Moments Don’t you just LOVE long weekends with your hubby home an EXTRA day?! Oh, I sure do! And we had NO plans–which has made it EVEN BETTER! This weekend…we are just kickin’ it in the Young house. And you know when we kick it–I have my camera in hand. And I even managed to make […]  We are living life to the fullest…and then some here…so lemme catch up on the as of late… FIRST…our little man slept through the NIGHT for the FIRST time last night! So proud of him:) Makes me want to do a toe touch…but I could never do that…but look who can:) Every day he gets […] It’s so good that he is getting PT so early. You’ll be amazed and grateful in very short order!! andrea, i SERIOUSLY cannot get enough of his belly and butt, they are the biggest and cutest butt and belly on a baby i have seen! so adorable! yay for him bearing weight, praise the Lord! :0) Love those pics…. 🙂 OK the article made me want to cry…..My baby is in 5th grade- NOT FAIR…yesterday she was a cutie pie 14 month old…time goes tooo quickly. Treasure it all!!! we are praying for you all tomorrow – love you guys! Yay! So happy for you guys! What a huge improvement for little Isaac T!!! 🙂 I’ve had 2 kids go under for ear tubes. I’m assuming people have told you what to expect, but since I didn’t see mention of it on your blog…just be prepared for some tears afterwards. Coming off the anethesia is tough at this age. They can be upset (seriously, brace yourself) for as long as an hour. Stay strong and hold him through it and he’ll be acting himself again by midday. The tubes will be awesome and he’ll be much happier. I don’t regret doing it with either of my kids, and my 3rd will get hers this Fall as soon as the infections start again. (Thanks, as always, for your blog – been a reader for a few months now – adopting from ET next year!) Enjoyed your post and loved the article. I dread school only because the time it takes them away!! Wow, that’s a lot for a day! =) Very fun and crazy…just the way we like it. Praying for ITY tomorrow getting tubes….recovery was not so fun for me, and I know surgery was always hard on my mom. Prayign for you too friend! Let us know how it goes. Thanks for posting that post from your friend…I often do wonder if its going to change when my Lil Man gets older, if he won’t be as fun….but it has shocked me so far that with every day I love him even more and I am so proud of him and really enjoying the moment. Glad to hear from “experienced moms” that it continues to be that way! Tears streaming after that article! I feel like I was just in 1st grade- where did these kids who stole my heart come from? Praying for Isaac this morning and hopeful that he can call and hear Mag Pie after the procedure… PRAYING for you all this morning!! I’m hoping IT gets a much deserved break from the ear troubles! We did tubes in December and they have been a huge blessing for our little guy Sam!! When you are having a long, hard day…just think…there are plenty of us reading the blog wishing and hoping for those days…we know they are coming and we can’t wait!!!  Parker was BORN! And I became a mom for the very FIRST time!!! Now, I am not so cute in this picture–but everything has a cost…and this one was WORTH every bit! I’ll never forget this moment…(bear with me as I have a moment down memory lane!)I remember wondering how I would feel…or what my […] Happy birthday, sweet boy! You have turned into quite the little man, and I’ve seen firsthand how you take such good care of your little brothers and sister. God is doing a great work in you– and through you, for that matter! We know that from Isaac’s story! Happy Birthday Parker!!! One thing I always say is I am amazed at how fast my life started passing by when I became a momma! Sierra just turned 7! So crazy it seems like just last year she was a baby! That’s so sweet. Happy Birthday to your big guy! Happy Birthday Parker! happy bday, Parker!! Happy birthday little man!!! I hope it is a fantastical day with lots of cake, presents, and at least one or two swords!! Jenn Those look like some crazy fun birthdays! Happy birthday Parker!! first off, let me just say that before I even read your comment about you not looking so good in the shot of you holding parker as a baby, I truly thought to myself how nice you looked and how I could see your little girls face in yours and how happy you all looked! i love the pics of parker and happy birthday little guy! happy happy 6th birthday, Parker!!! what a beautiful little boy, happy birthday to parker! Wow! So many fun phases for the little man, and SO many life changes in your family since those 6 SHORT years ago!!! Look how much you’ve both grown since then 🙂 Reading this made me cry thinking about just how fast life goes by! Look how many additions you’ve made to your family since then!! What fun!! Happy Birthday to Parker, and Happy Wonderful, Beautiful family to you, Super Mom! Happy Birthday, Parker!! Hope you have a great day!! Happy Birthday Parker. Hope you had a great one! Our youngest, Erik (aka, Eddie Joe), was born on 8/16/04….so they are very close in age! Fun thinking back to 6 years ago!  Seriously…at OUR house…is there EVER REALLY a “last day” for summer?! So…YES it is a Tuesday night. YES…that means it is a school night. BUT…recreaction and outdoor activity is important as it helps get some energy out…and of course it can always provide family bonding. Of course—BEFORE we got started Richard laid the ground rules. […] Great family photo!!! Missed reading while I was away, but I think I might just be caught up now. =) ok, so you need to start making me some bows..we’ll call them the Lucy lane bows..and I’ll advertise and you make them and we’ll sell them and raise money for famlies adopting…come on…great idea..huh?? 🙂 kj We had out the water guns and slip & slide tonight at our house. Too much fun! = ) There only little once! Can you do a post on how to make bows??? I’ve been wanting to but haven’t figured it out yet! YOurs are perfect! Kristie….if you do that I’ll send you a huge heap of bows you can sell off to give to an adopting family. I was making bows to match my dresses….but stopped that to jus tdo sewing. Now I have a HUGE stash of fun bows I need to do something with! loving your summer fun. and can i just say at the risk of sounding a bit creepy, your kids dimples are to die for! hope you ALL slept well :O) Love the last day of summer shots!  Oh…here I sit–in a quiet house (until noon time carpool that is;). Babies sleeping…the older two at school. And my heart–overfloweth. Psalm 45:1 says…my heart overflows with a good theme; I address my verses to the King. Last night, marked our last night of summer. Daddy took the kids to a movie…mommy went with the […] Laney is her knee socks and Mary Jane’s is probably the cutest.thing.ever. May have to implement uniforms in our homeschool this year:) So glad you love your school……I went to a wonderful Christian school, and was so blessed to be a part of it! I needed to hear those words of encouragement! Thank you so much! By the way I met a man named Temesgen today 🙂 oh your children are so cute! forgive me but what are irish twins? my guess are they were just within a year or so of eachother? either way they are both so beautiful and photograph so well! I loved their little outfits especially her little dress and socks…so precious! :0) so glad you guys found a great school! You have blessed me beyond measure tonight. You, my dear lady, have just been used in a mighty way. You have spoken to my spirit and I have quoted you in my blog because your/HIS words spoke straight to my spirit in such a divinely timed way. It never ceases to amaze me how God can use this modern technology we have to uplift his saints and to see His will be done! Thank you for speaking without reserve. Many blessing for you in return I pray in Jesus Name! WOW! You make me want to move to where you live, so that my “somday soon” kiddos can have a school like that to attend! :o) WOW! What it must do to your heart to know that the hours spent away from you are with such amazingly wonderful God-filled people! Praise God! I agree with Amber. You ARE being used in a mighty way! Keep up the writing, as you inspire each reader in our own individualized way! :o) I am enjoying getting to know you, your heart for God, and your family via this wonderful world of blogging! (I think I am now an addict! Ha!) Blessings to you and yours ~ what a blessing to have such a wonderful school for your irish twins! thank you for being such an encouragement to all of us! Cathcing up on the faily and sweet baby Isaac ! Gracious …you all are the best . Lovin’ always lovin’ hearing your heart procaim our mighty Savior’s love even in the mundane like organizing a play/toy closet. St.Pius is back in full force and I am waylayed in everything that I normally do…this was a treat to see the pictures and read…I can not wait to meet you one day. I would love to have you speak to my STFrancis Circle this year but, it seems next year would be better for your family. I know you are balancing by God’s grace all that you do ! I keep you in my prayers and thoughts daiy. Pax,M |
