My Real Man
I love my man; he just wrote a fantastic blog post about the art of manliness and growing up. Check it out, you know you want to. ChadGH.com
Shopping
Shopping, the great adventure. I've been asked a few times how I go shopping. So I decided to get a picture. I only have the girls here, I usually have all four lovely helpers with me. This particuar shopping trip I got over $200 worth…
Happy Birthday Patrick
Patrick had a simple birthday party with some friends over to play. They were gathered on the floor playing legos with Chad among them. After Chad asked if anyone saw a 1x2 panel, I asked him if he wanted the same kind of party for…
My Remodel
I'm a log cabin. I'm a cute little log cabin. I function; I keep the rain out (except that one leak). I have a plumbing issue that needs some work. And the kitchen could use a little updating, new hardware, stuff like that. There isn't…

The Holidays
We've had a really good holiday season this year, and we've done it all without a camera. Boo! Once again, our camera is having issues. Poor Jessie won't have many pictures of her. Although I just finished scrap booking David's baby album and I'm sure…
Grandma
To the woman who loved me, fed me pie (5 different verities every Thanksgiving), dressed me and my children in homemade outfits for special occasions, remembered me and my family even if I wasn't diligent about calling often, and held my hand as I sat…
