A Flower for Sunday
Holy, Holy, Holy! LORD God Almighty!All thy works shall praise they name in earth and sky and sea!
Sleepy Mr. Bear
Our little Abram Bear loves to sleep. He still isn’t sleeping through the night yet. (Okay, well technically he is, since “technically” babies are sleeping through the night if they go for 5 hours straight, but honestly…5 hours?)
What he does do, and given my experience this is nothing short of miraculous, is fall [...]
Rollin’, Rollin’, Rollin’
Guess who’s on the move?!?
(Hint: It’s not Ellie.)
(Although Ellie does like to have tummy time and practice her rolls along with Abram.)
Abram’s been rolling from his belly to his back! I’d think it was a fluke or luck, but he does it consistently enough–as in every [...]
A Real Conversation
After months of talking about this, Ellie finally caught on.
(A conversation in two parts.)Ellie: First you get a pregnant belly…then you get a baby!
Kristie: (excited by her connections) That’s right! (…aaannnnd back pedaling…) Well…First you get married, then you get a pregnant belly, and then you can get the baby.
Ellie: Married?
Kristie: Well…like Mommy and [...]
Not Me! Monday
When it was time to bring Abram home from the hospital, the nurses felt like I hadn’t brought enough warm clothes for him, so they added two long sleeved kimono-style undershirts and a towel (for a blanket). But, of course, on one of the two occasions I went back to the hospital [...]
A Flower for Sunday

The Terrible You-Know-Whats
Ellie.
My sweet, sweet…dear, sweet Ellie.
I mean, did you see the swing pictures?
But, oh boy, has she ever been acting…let’s see, how to put it into words….Challenging. Trying. Maddening. Makes-you-want-to-pull-your-hair-out-and-scream..(okay, maybe I did pull my hair out and scream)..Flat out TERRIBLE.
Let’s just say, things have been pretty rough for the past month or so. Bad enough [...]
A Real Conversation
This is a conversation (with variations) we have had a LOT of times. It all starts when Ellie brings either Jason or me one of her dolls or stuffies and says…
Ellie: Say “Hiiiii….”
Kristie: (holding the stuffy of choice so that it is the one “talking” to Ellie) Hi! What’s your name?
Ellie: Ellie.
Kristie: Hi Ellie, how [...]
Prayer Updates
A while ago I decided that I would start putting our prayer updates on the blog. Then, I forgot to put the last one we sent out up. (In my defense, I was less than a week post-partum.) You can go back and read our March Update here.
Just below this is our newest prayer [...]
