My Daredevil

Mitchell has been practicing his bike jumps lately.  He has hired Jacob to take pictures of his jumps from various angles.  I had to stop the "under the jump" shot from continuing.  They all seem to be having a great time at school and one of them went so far …

First Day of School

I don’t remember their first day of Kindergarten feeling this sad.  I was so busy/distracted with David when the boys started school that I didn’t have time or energy to feel this lonely.  When David started Kindergarten I knew the school and the teachers, plus I was busy going to …

Life Goes On

It was a week ago today that a friend called to tell me about Jonathan and Justin, it seems an eternity.  So much has happened.  Tears, hugs, prayers, and a pouring out of love the likes of which I have never experienced before. The Gwins went to Justin’s viewing and …

For Maurica and Jonathan

Funeral Blues Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,Silence the pianos and with muffled drumBring out the coffin, let the mourners come.Let aeroplanes circle moaning overheadScribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.Put crepe bows round the white necks of …

Super Mom

Skateboard Punks

So, Mitchell asks me this morning if I’ll take him to a skateboard park; to which I cleverly reply, "If you can find one in the area I will take you." Never say that to a boy on a mission. He looked on line and found a city park (free!) …

PowerPoint Fun

The boys received Halloween cards from their Grandpa and Grandma Moore this week, and instead of sending a regular thank you card, we decided to try our hand at a PowerPoint version. Too much fun was had. They could hardly decide which song to add, they wanted a different one …

I miss school

I went to a friend’s 2nd grade classroom this morning to help out for a festival day. I never thought I’d say it, but I miss school. I miss walking around the classroom and being in charge!! I had to bite my tongue from trying to take over Jill’s class. …

Texas Renaissance Festival

To all you of little faith, the robes, all three of them, were completed in one day. Well, kind of , I finished at 12:30 am. However please note that I finished them before the Astros managed to lose yet again!! We had loads of fun at the Ren. Festival …
