This week seems to have gone by in something of a fog. Getting used to school even with only two weeks off has been an adjustment. It didn't help that we had several dentist appointments to work in around our school schedule. We had another birthday this week. Micah has hit the double-digit mark now! …
This has been a busy winter break but a good one. I wrote out a list of things to do, and I think I accomplished about 80% of it so I'm happy. It's been nice to stay up late and sleep in. To not have the pressure of school every day. I'm not sure if …
No sewing this week (insert sad face), but I was able to get in on a big sale at my local fabric store. That means I have enough fabric for several projects. Enough to keep me busy for several weeks! Our family had two firsts this week. First, our oldest son, who now has his …
Uggh. I woke up feeling sick with whatever it is that's going around our house - headache, fatigue and just general achiness. I pushed through my chore list as long as possible but finally had to go to bed. Now it's almost bedtime, and I'm starting to feel better so I'm going to try to …
Another busy week! But I still managed to sew even if it meant doing it early in the morning before I woke the children up. My son asked me for a gun case for his airsoft gun. I was a little nervous about this project because I had no idea how I was going to …
This has been a fantastic week for me sewing-wise. My husband had his first full week back at teaching security so I had extra time which was a good thing. Our church is putting together a box to send to a young pastor family in the Philippines. I jumped at the chance to have an …
Finally I have a laptop that works. So I'm back in business with my digital scrapbooking. Very happy. But we lost my camera chip - unhappy. I've also been busy this week in my youngest sons' bedroom. I've had new wallpaper for their bedroom for months, but I've been afraid of it. I didn't realize …
About a month ago my husband bought me a new laptop, and ever since I feel like I've been in a fight with technology. First of all, the laptop did not always play videos or audio. I couldn't figure out what was wrong so we took it back. Now with this next laptop I cannot …
Life has been a little slower this week. There was no chemo! The weeks we have chemo (two out of every three weeks), it takes three days out of my week. One day for blood work and to see the oncologist to talk about the blood work and Hugo's health in general, and one day …
It's been a long time since I posted on a Friday. The last month in particular has been a long one as we all did our part to help Daddy fight his cancer. Last week my husband had his right kidney removed. The days leading up to the surgery were difficult due to pain, nausea …
