My Favorite Band

I've said before that we don't watch a lot of TV around here and so instead we do a lot of reading, writing (the Bigs are LOVING their writer's notebooks!) and of course PLAYING! We all know that kids do what they see- and lately they've seen a lot of their dad playing guitar and singing. He is one of the worship leaders at our church now and I think it's great for them to see their dad up there! First and foremost because he is in a position where he is sharing his faith- and second he is also doing something that he LOVES! Jeff has also been writing songs- lots of them- though all we usually hear is a lot of guitar... he recently started his own blog (yes- I will do my best to make all those close to me bloggers!) where he posted the lyrics to his songs along with video of him playing the music along. I have to say it was nice to hear what he's been singing all these days... months... years... And I may be biased- but I think he's pretty good! So now I get why my kids look like this many nights of the week... though it may also be because they've seen us play a little Rock Band too... a-hem... I don't know about you but I think those two have the rock star look down!

    Great-Nan and I just had a good laugh watching this, but I must admit that we had a little problem with the lyrics! And Zach needs to get with it - every band needs its bass!

    Lil' Joey is a rock star. Just the face in that picture shows it all. That is one you will have to save. When its his turn to play in front of st. matt's you'll have to throw that picture up on the projector behind him.
    What a cutie. I wish I was close enough to be a babysitter cause I would love to rock out with the house band. :-)

    Love how serious they look in the first photo.
    That video is so darn cute and it's so much better for them to do that then to watch TV.

So tired...

Image
It's getting to me... I don't know if it's the sleep deprivation or the crazy schedule of being a full time working mom and having four kids at home... but it's getting to me. I am so tired. Last night I was up at midnight with Sean, then at 2:30 with Joe who was sick and threw up, I got back to bed at 3 and slept for 15 minutes until Sean woke up again. I let him cry for 45 MINUTES until I could take it no more, staggered into his room and nursed him. And then I was up before six to start my day which looks something like this.. Wake up, shower, get ready for work prior to kids waking up... (praying that they don't wake up) then waking the bigs who can dress themselves, and getting Zach changed and dressed, then downstairs to make breakfast for three bigs while putting together pump parts to take to school (that were drying over-night), clean up from breakfast, meds for Zach which now include a breathing treatment (from last Tuesday's doc apt), shoes on a...

Saying Goodbye...

Well, we knew this day would come.  Prayed that it would be clear and it was. On Sunday night I laid with Cobi as I have (more so in recent weeks).  He asked to go outside at one point and he was out longer than usual.  I called for him to come inside and he didn't come. I had been cleaning the kitchen and I thought perhaps I had let him inside.  My brain isn't the best. I ran upstairs and to all his favorite places, but he was nowhere to be found.  I grabbed my shoes, wrapped my arms around me and went out to the cold calling for my baby, in a panic.  He came to me slowly from out in the darkness and when we got inside I sat with him, wrapped my arms around him and cried. As promised.  He had told me.  This was it. Somehow I went to school and made the call.  The last appointment of the day was at 5:20pm and since Joey wasn't getting home until 6:00, I took it as a consult and then also booked the first appointment for t...

It's the Honest Scrap!

Image
So some of you know that I have two blogs. This blog- which has reflected on my day to day adventures with my living children, things I love and the occasional "Pause" blog where I remember my angels. My other blog (That I refer to as my 'Pause' blog) has been an entire blog about my angels-a therapy to me in a sense- how they've changed me, restored me and helped me. I have met a huge community of mothers who have lost children and have been nominated by two of them for this Honest Scrap award (for my 'Pause' blog) The idea is similar to the last 'award' I wrote about, my new friends stated in their blogs that: The award is about bloggers who post from their heart, who write from the depths of their soul. In order to accept the award I must nominate seven fellow bloggers as recipients, and then list ten honest and interesting things about myself. So- although I was nominated on 'Pause'- I'm writing on 'Days' because I have sh...
