As of 10:27 P.M. CST, Trey will officially be 8 years old! How did that happen? In honor of our new 8-year-old, I’d like to offer a “Top 8” list of the things I love most about Trey: 8 ) Such an easygoing personality – Trey could make friends with a lamppost. 7) King of… Continue reading Feeling Gr-8 ‘cuz Trey is 8!
Night at the Museum
It wasn’t exactly like this… or this… but we DID manage to sleep in a room with dinosaur bones!
I want YOU! (for a birthday party)
Bowled Over
Sad, but true. The BCS is now over. And though the LSU Tigers made short work of those Ohio State Buckeyes (for which I’m glad – GEAUX Tigers!!) – reality has set in: I’m a loser. It’s become somewhat of a tradition here in our house to have a friendly wager on the NCAA Final… Continue reading Bowled Over
Good news that really is!
The angels are rejoicing tonight, and so are we! For the first time in quite a few years, we have a newborn in our house. She’s upstairs sleeping peacefully right now, but a few hours ago this family was quite excited about the new addition to our family…our spiritual family! That’s right, Crisana has asked… Continue reading Good news that really is!
I hear Cricuts chirping
And that’s a good thing! For those of you who are non-scrappers (gasp!), I must explain that a Cricut (pronounced like the insect, cricket) is a really cool, must-have, how-did-I-ever-live-without-it scrapping tool.  It slices! It dices! It makes pure mincemeat out of cardstock! But wait! There’s more!! You can also use the special pens to… Continue reading I hear Cricuts chirping
“Cross”-examination: McKinney Fellowship Bible Church
Today we visited McKinney Fellowship Bible Church, or McFBC. (Not to be confused with First Baptist McKinney, which is also referred to as McFBC) From their website, I was thoroughly convinced that this would be just another “first date.” We’d go out, enjoy our time together, have a few laughs, but not really sense a… Continue reading “Cross”-examination: McKinney Fellowship Bible Church
Aisles of Smiles (and hugs, too)
I had a most unusual experience today in the grocery store. And since I’m not one to mince words – ever – you’re in for the whole story, whether you like it or not.
I bet he can walk AND chew gum at the same time, too
As a coordination-challenged person I am always in awe of those who can…well…be coordinated. Like this guy.  Amazing, really. Just some basic info before you watch: 1) The first half of the video is taped normally, with the camera running forward. He does all those little “stunts” to prove that the camera is really running… Continue reading I bet he can walk AND chew gum at the same time, too
Roller Derby Queen
If you were a child of the 80’s you probably remember with me the glory days of the roller rink:Â skin-tight Sasson (or Jordache) jeans tucked into Riddell skates with a lucky rabbit’s foot hanging off of it, skating to the music of REO Speedwagon, Abba, or Boston (or – God forbid, DISCO!)…waiting desperately for… Continue reading Roller Derby Queen
