thank you

Just wanted to drop a simple post to let everyone know how immensely grateful we are for your thoughts, prayers, comments, encouragement, and birthday wishes.  It’s such a comfort to hear from our family and friends when we are so many miles away. With Paxon’s hospital visits, Patrick with the flu, and Scout with double ear infections, [...]

birthday eve

Tonight was the very last time I’d tuck my little 4 year old Pax into bed.  The anticipation of his birthday has ensued all of is, this year more than ever. 
I remember exactly where I was 5 years ago at this moment as I’m typing, 11:30pm. Patrick and I were loading up, heading to the hospital, taking that car [...]

life is sweet

Pax and I did a little baking this weekend, while Patrick was hidden in the back room with the flu! These Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup cookies are one of our favorites. Hanging out with your hilarious little boy, eating a fresh from the oven all gooey and warm cookie, chasing it with a glass of cold milk, [...]

Just found a few pics from our phones from Friday….
Pax received a birthday box between hospital hopping! That yellow lizard, blow up thing was a HUGE hit!

While we were waiting at Texas Children’s, Patrick sent a message to his Mom saying we still didn’t know anything and we’d call later! THE funniest thing ever….Mema was [...]

turning point

I kept trying to think of a way to sum everything up easily or make things sound just so, but I’m exhausted, so I’ll just shoot the facts. Maybe tomorrow I’ll have more perspective to write.
We left the house at 9:00am this morning, September 11th 2009, to go to our pediatrician to check out Pax. He’s [...]

keepin’ it real

I thought I’d post some pics of our trip to the Children’s Museum from last week, or was it the week before? Anyhow, all I know is I can’t possibly pull them off as yesterday’s glorious museum excursion! Considering I tried to give away my children in yesterday’s post and Paxon has a giant bruise on his forehead [...]

FREE to good home
The Fixer Upper: One boy is a “scratch ‘n dent” kid. He’s had a bloody nose for 2 days and recently ran into a door and bruised his head.  With a little work, he could be good as new!

The Rookie: He’s a young’n but you could train ‘em up right. He eats [...]

we be grubbin’

I made Scout a new bib this week using some cotton fabric that I snagged from the local quilt shop and a chenille backing. I used a pattern I found online and modified it to fit around Scout’s chubby little neck!

:-:-:-:-:-:
I’m in love with this wood bowl and spoon from an Etsy shop called Palumba!

“Thanks for the new chew toy [...]

wet & wild

Take these Presley boys to the water park and they are wild. Wild, I tell ya! The giant slides at our usual water park were old news,  so we ventured to the other water park because they have….gasp, DIVING BOARDS!! I don’t know what it is with Patrick and diving boards, but he loves ‘em! [...]
