In some ways it feels like forever ago that I graduated high school. In other ways it feels like yesterday. A couple of weeks ago, the class of ‘99 from Westminster Christian Academy got together for our big reunion. My high school friends and I tried to make the most of the weekend when we [...]

a belated birthday post
Posted in emily on October 15, 2009 | 3 Comments »
My birthday was September 25, but we spread out the celebrating over a couple of weeks. My grandmother passed away on the 26th, so we delayed the big celebration with my family for a couple of weeks. Even though my birthday was difficult because we knew what was about to happen with my grandma, Travis [...]
who knew baby food could be so much fun?!?

So…I’m trying my hand at making my own baby food for Molly. Yeah, I know I’m not special. A lot of people do this. But the thing is, I never once even attempted to try to make my own food with Owen. I think I was a little overwhelmed by the fact that the child [...]
remembering grandma nini

My precious grandma, Grandma Nini, went home to be with Jesus on Saturday evening. Some of my best memories include Grandma, and she will be very missed. Over the past couple of years, I felt so privileged to share my children with their Great-Grandma. She loved them so much, and I think she willed herself [...]

Those of you who read this blog regularly know that, for the past 2 months, I’ve had to avoid dairy completely in order to continue nursing Molly due to her milk protein allergy. While I am so glad that my avoidance of dairy is keeping away all the scary reactions she had, I am getting [...]

This is my grandma’ s house.
I love this house. I’ve visited this house multiple times a year since I was born. It has so many good memories. I visited it for the last time this past weekend.
My grandma moved to Dallas a year ago and is in an assisted living facility there. Her house in [...]

Just me, my little man, and a bottle of bubbles. Times where it’s just the two of us are few and far between these days. I treasure these moments.

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and Julie! We love you guys!

i’m on my own

Today is the first day where it is just the kids and me. It was sad to see Travis go back to work. We loved having so much time with him at home. But I’m finally feeling pretty much back to normal…recovery from a c-section is no walk in the park!
I was apprehensive about how [...]
he’s gonna miss his buddies

Most of you probably know that I’ve been taking care of Rowan and Savannah every day after school since Owen was 3 months old. With the baby coming, my last day of taking care of the kids is next Wednesday. It’s been a great experience. I’ve loved “keeping my feet wet” by helping with homework, [...]
