Daddy Daughter Day

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Today has ended up being a Daddy Daughter Day at our house. I’m in bed with a stomache bug of some sort. Yuck! They started off the day with some leftover pancakes from Daddy’s cooking session yesterday. (He always makes extras, so we can have them during the week.) After breakfast, they have watched The Living Bible: John. It’s basically a verse by verse portrayal of the book of John. They had in previous weeks watched The Living Bible: Acts. They both really enjoy these. Sometimes they follow along in the Bible and sometimes they just watch. John was a…

Highs and Lows

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

We had a bit of a roller-coaster day. It was a testing day as a parent, but we know that God has called us to be faithful to Him. We can’t take the easy way out as it will come back to haunt us. We know that it is critical that we are constantly on our guard. Not only do we need to be good examples, but we must also punish in love. We can not let tears keep us from doing the job that God has given to us. We can only pray that in the end we will…

Snow Day, Sick Day

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

How do you combine a nice snowfall, a child that wants to play in the snow (even with a layer of ice on it), and a sick Mommy? Well, when your little one comes in bright eyed and bushy-tailed, fully dressed first thing in the morning, you know that you’re in for an interesting day. Especially when all you want to do is pull the cover over your head and fall back asleep. Alas, that wasn’t going to happen. I crawled out of bed and made her breakfast. Immediately after breakfast, she bundled up and headed outside. I got dressed…

It’s Snowing

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

We actually have a pretty good snow coming down. Little Song Bird is eager to be able to go out and play. There’s not enough for a snowman or anything yet, but she’s still excited. Since she’s still recovering from being sick, I told her that she needs to wait until there’s more snow on the ground. I’m not going to forbid her to out and play in the snow since we get it so infrequently. Currently, she’s bouncing off the walls. I, on the other hand, am now sick in bed with what she had. Yuck! Hopefully, it will…

BRRR! It’s cold outside!

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m very grateful that we’re not getting the horrible weather that had hit other areas in the country, but it’s really cold out. Ok, so it’s really cold for Virginia! The wind just cuts right through you when you head outside. We ran a few errands this morning as we needed to pick up a few items from the grocery store, and I wanted to stop by the thrift store. They’re currently running a 75% off all yellow tags sale. There are a lot of things with yellow tags that I wanted to see if…
