A Flower for Sunday

Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name;Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.Psalm 29:2

Where’s Kristie?

You may have noticed I haven’t been around very much lately. It’s not because I don’t have anything to say, it’s just that I’ve needed a break. Last week was our last week of classes. Just when I thought I was started to get some energy back as I near the 2nd trimester, I got [...]

A Flower for Sunday

You will show me the path of life;In Your presence is fullness of joy;At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.Psalm 16:11

About “Whee!” and Pregnant Girl Makes an Appearance

This is what it’s like to be pregnant.
On Saturday I was feeling pretty lousy: the effects of staying up too late the night before watching the opening ceremony to the Olympics and (although I didn’t know it at the time) the beginnings of a nasty cold that would fully rear its ugly head on Sunday. [...]

Sillies on Wednesday

The Diva checks to make sure her headband is put on just right. Notice also how well her accessories coordinate with her outfit. You just can’t teach that.

And soon there’s going to be another of this kind of bump… !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But right now it’s not bumpy, only puffy.
(and that’s probably why I’ve [...]

I  can’t say I don’t [...]

The Sillies Just Don’t Stop

Even if you didn’t laugh at this picture, or this one, you can’t not think this one is at least a little funny.

Again, it’s the swim cap. There is also the addition of this pencil grip turned Chinese handcuffs turned teether. HaHA!! Gotta love it!
Ellie is in this fun dress-up stage and I’m [...]

A Real Conversation

The setting for this conversation is the very end of a CLC field trip Ellie and I went on. Remember my classmates The Brothers? They sat behind me on the bus.
Older Brother: So what are you going to do next?
Kristie: Just going home to eat dinner, Jason’s there cooking right now.
Younger Brother: What is he [...]
