Pictures of me and Bob

Angie the weekend she got pregnant with Jimmy

And Bob the same weekend (He took Angie to a B&B in Galena, IL for their 5th wedding anniversary)

The picture of me was when I was about 5 lbs away from my Weight Watcher’s goal.  I got pregnant with Jimmy this weekend, and before I knew that I [...]

Some pictures of the kids . . .

Our dog Murphy

Anna

Billy

Jimmy

 These are probably about 2 months old.  I’ll have to get some more recent ones posted soon.

Some pictures of our house and car . . .

Here is our house

Our new (got after we found out we were pregnant with Jimmy) car

We had to get something that would fit 3 car seats, so we got the Ford Freestyle with the third row.  Billy and Anna sit in the third row and Jimmy is in the second row behind the passenger seat.
Bob [...]

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him, shall not perish but have everlasting life. – John 3:16
Anna had to memorize this verse to earn her gold belt in karate.  I don’t think she actually understands what it is saying, but someday I know she [...]

Bad, Bad, Bad Cicada!!!!

As I was bringing the kids to church this morning for summer camp, I had Jimbo in the hip hammock.  As we were walking to the door of the church, a cicada came and landed on my shirt.  I tried to shoo it away with my hand, but it then moved to Jimbo’s nose.  It [...]

The Bachelor: Andy and Tessa

Okay, this has nothing to do with my life, but I’m just so happy that Andy proposed to Tessa!!  She is such a great woman!!!  I am so glad that he chose the more stable woman who really showed true feelings for him.  Bevin seemed to be the kind of person who quickly and easily [...]

Cicadas, Locusts, and Wasps

Apparently I live in a place now where every 17 years we get swarmed with locust-type bugs called cicadas. This is the year for them, and they are scheduled to come out (of the ground, mind you) on May 21, 2007. Yup, that’s today. So far, I haven’t seen any, but the wmbi morning guys [...]

Mother’s Day

I hope everyone had a great mother’s day.  We had a wonderful time.  Anna got me an iPod Nano.  She picked out the color herself, and of course, it’s blue.  Anna seems to think that my favorite color is blue.  She’ll color pictures blue because she thinks it’s my favorite color too – it’s very [...]

“I hurt”

So many times throughout every day, Billy will come up to me and say, “I hurt” and point at some part of his body, usually his head.  I’m so used to it that now all I do is give him a sympathetic look and kiss wherever it is he is pointing.
 Yesterday, we were at a [...]

Trust in God – John 14:1

This verse seems so simple to me.  It is the verse that Anna just had to learn to earn a badge in Rainbows.  The whole badge was based on trusting in God.  The verses that we teach the rainbows seem so simple at times.  As we were teaching this verse, though, so much came to [...]
