About Me

My photo
I enjoy spending time with my husband. He's my best friend. I love watching my kids. My girls Emma and Eva are learning, growing and changing every day. Our little boy Benjamin is a joy and has made Bobby happy to not be the only male in the house! I like to soak up every bit of their littleness, but I'm telling you they are getting so big! They are cute. My stepdaughter Eternity has lived here since 2008 and it's a blessing to have her here. A teenager in the house really adds an interesting dynamic. Seriously, she's a good kid. We live on a busier street and we are doing a lot of work in our backyard to make it prettier. I should say Bobby is doing most of the work. I'm usually holding a baby or caring for one of the kids or keeping them out of harms way as Bobby works with manly, heavy tools. Life is busy, but I don't want to miss the special moments that come along every day.

Eternity's Baaaaaaack!!


Yes, she has returned from a summer at her mom's house. We are pumped to have her back with us. In just a week's time she will officially be a highschooler!! Scary thought, but time just keeps marching on!! Tonight her and I drove passed Empire (her old school) and she said, "I can't believe that I'm not going there anymore." Ahhh, how sweet. She's coming to grips with getting older and moving on. Empire was a really good school for her. It was a scary thought at first since Empire had such a bad reputation. But it turned out to be a very good place for her. Good principal, great teachers and the secretary LOVED her, so that was a bonus :) We are not going into the teenage/high school years full of fear and dread. Instead we are excited to journey with her through these exciting years. The high school years don't have to be horrible and full of rebellion and attitude. Kids need direction and guidance and boundaries. She's a very good kid and we are blessed to have her living with us. It's already been 2 years since she moved here. Hard to believe. Anyways, we are happy to have her back.
