Our newest nephew Joshua William was born on June 19th! He and his momma came home on Father’s Day, and they joined the rest of us at the inlaws for BBQ and fun times 🙂 What a beautiful feeling, to hold this sweet babe in my arms! ❤ Jim and I are definitely suffering from… Read More fathers day 2015 & Jim’s birthday

I got my special brace for my left leg yesterday! It mimics the surgery I need, so it straightens out my knee and gives me great pain relief. I haven’t done much since I got it, but I’m looking forward to taking some walks soon. Summer is an awesome time of year! First, we have… Read More summertime sadness
Here’s my first installment of the Dear Sibling posts, there’s no real order to them, I’m just writing it as it flows up and out: You only seem interested in me if I am pregnant or trying to conceive.

This year, Memorial Day happened to fall on my father in law’s birthday. We always grill and chill over at their place; good times are had by all. Jim didn’t go because he was ill and in bed, so I went by myself. It’s not something I have done a lot in the past, but… Read More memorial day part 2

December is over, and we somehow survived it. Christmas was lovely; we spent it with Jim’s family and received many gifts. Including a laptop-now I have no reason to ever leave my bed again. We ended up spending Grace’s birthday and New Years with my mom and some friends. We actually had a pretty good… Read More Grace turns 2
