A Riddle. Just For You.





 When is a medium shrimp not a medium shrimp?

 





Any guesses?

None? None at all?

Come on, somebody?

All right. I'll tell you.

 A medium shrimp is not a medium shrimp when it is being used as a visual aid to represent the approximate size (this week) of our as of yet unborn third baby.

Last week, it was a lime. I think I liked last week better.

We're thinking February 2012.

(But we have high hopes for January -- wouldn't that be crazy?)

 (AND to my dear friends who may have felt neglected lately, I sincerely apologize. I haven't been well.)

    So happy for you Ames. I hope your days of not feeling well will soon be behind you.

    I, for one, am surprised. So good job. But I think your baby is saying "I am not a shrimp, I am a King Prawn!" (eh, eh...did you get that reference?)

    The world needs more sweet smelling Roses. =) Nice job. Way to provide.

    Love you!

    Congrats! The thought crossed my mind in a previous post when you mentioned being tired ;) I am well versed in the pregnancy exhaustion at the present time. Feb seems to be a hot month this time around. I know three other people due in Feb. We decided to be ahead of crowd and have a baby in Dec again ;)

    Thanks for working on a playmate for Madelyn. I know it's hard work, but hang in there, it'll be worth it someday when they all finally meet.

    I retract my comment on the mommy brain post because I read it before this one! Congratulations! We can join the mom of 3 club together ! I'm more nervous about having more kids than hands to hold them. I'm happy for you guys!

    Yes, I most definitely had not read this post before talking to you tonight. I am so excited for you! I really had no idea, apparently I am not as observant as others. But looks like your April fools joke was not far off!! Yay for babies, so happy for you!

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stair...

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took ...
