In Which I Am Awed by the Gifts He Has Given





My daughter is amazing.  She has magical powers.  Ask her about it on any given day and I have no idea what crazy story she will give you.  But I know her powers lie in her imagination.  From the way she makes costumes out of nothing to the elaborate, nonsensical names she gives her daughter's and their sisters (who, interestingly enough are not also her daughters...hmm), she is unstoppable and quite frankly hilarious!

My son is...what's another word for amazing?  At nearly two months old I can already see little bits of personality coming out.  The way he desperately wants more milk than his tummy can hold, and loves to snuggle before, during, and after a meal! The way he can sit so quietly in the corner while the world moves around him, but as soon as we've all left the room, he makes sure he's heard! And my favorite, the way he throws his hands up in the air, startling himself while he's sleeping, as if to say "What's the big idea?!?!"

I just love 'em!

Dear Grayson,

As I write this, you are about 18" long and 3.2 lbs. About the size of a head of lettuce.  We have approximately 8 weeks and 5 days to go before your scheduled debut.  But here's the fun of it. Daddy and I are planning a C-section, which is traditionally scheduled about a week before the due date. That makes the countdown 7 weeks.  Now we are also dealing with some blood pressure issues, and the doctors are just hoping to get us as far along as we can. The family is starting to take bets on when you will be born. Here is what's going on... Mommy's blood pressure is high.  It's staying around 140/80.  Since the first of the year, the doctors have had me on modified bed rest, meaning that I could get up and do a little around the house, but need to take it easy.  No going to work or hard partying ;0) It really hasn't been so bad. The first week I was able to do some work from home, which kept me busy.  Then last week Atlanta had a tremendous winter storm and

A Day in Jaime's Homeschool (ages 10, 6, and 4)

Our days in this season of life follow a very relaxed structure. Each day has such very different demands. While I would prefer to go with the flow, whatever that may be, my kids prefer a more defined plan. They like to know what to expect at any given moment. So our daily rhythm falls somewhere between these two extremes.  My day starts between 6:30 and 7:00 AM with coffee and my Bible. I love connecting through Hello Mornings because of its grace based approach to starting my day in submission to the Lord. Through accountability, community, and Bible study I get that flexible structure I need - a big theme in my life right now! My "early riser" (the four year old) will often join me on the couch while I read. My husband makes breakfast while I enjoy a second cup of coffee and supervise morning chores. By 9 AM he is out the door to work (except when he's not...because that would be too easy.) At this point I give my kids a warning that we will start our school day at 9
