Bump, Thump, Tap

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Yes, folks, there really is something in there and it’s letting me know several times a day! For the last week ago I was pretty sure I was feeling movement, but it was still the “is that the baby or not?” type. Now it’s not mistakable. That’s definitely the first little bumps, […]

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

Every day as part of school we sing along with one of the primary songs. For the last 9 months we’ve been working on learning the Articles of Faith. We just finished learning the 11th one.

A Mostly Homemade Christmas (part 8)

Monday, December 24th, 2007

Our children get three main gifts (plus stockings) each Christmas. They get a cross stitched ornament, a personalized book, and something else. This year for Fritz’s personalized book I took an idea from my SIL’s sister. Last year she made my niece an ABC book that included pictures of their extended family […]
