Catching Up

Still battling stuffy noses around here, along with a cough now. But so far it has been confined to the children with those of us taller than 4 ft doing our best to avoid their sneezes and snotty kisses! Ever notice the snottier their nose gets the more affectionate the child gets? LOL I am afraid Cornbread may be getting an ear infection. He and LadyBug are having a worse time of it than FlowerChild.

Amidst all that I managed to cook the pork loin I had mentioned in my menu plan. It was amazing! I mixed up a spicy rub to put on it and the FisherMan grilled it. Yum! Then he grilled the avocado and I stuffed it with a homemade apple-chipotle mix. Here is a picture. It turned out better than any restaurant meal! I swear, if one could eat like this every night, eating out would not even be a temptation! (excuse the beat up cookie sheet-our hunger sent us beyond caring about food presentation!)


The GuitarMan was disappointed he wasn't home last night for the meal. He stayed at school and hung out with friends. He called last night to say he and another guy had written a new song. They wanted to play it for us today. So he brought a carload home with him for the day. It was in the 70's here. They got outside and helped the FlowerChild ride her bike with no training wheels. Here she is with her big brother.



I loved their song!! They have several original songs that are very good. It was so sweet of them to want to play it for us.

We had a very special day with family and friends. I'll share more about it later. For now I need to get to bed. Have a wonderful day with the Savior tomorrow!

    Hi Marie! So glad you stopped by! I've been wondering how you were...noticed no blog updates over at your place and didn't think you had visited here for a few days.
    *Yes the meal was dee-lish!
    *I am hoping these babies turn the corner to feeling good again soon!
    *I am lovin me some warm temps!
    *I got several pictures that were so good. I just had to post one so I chose one that didn't show their faces TOO much!
    Blessings!

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking,

Need Prayers

Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!
