I had a flashback tonight of something that happened to me a few weeks ago…I’ve had enough time to heal emotionally from the event, so now I can share it with some humor. It all started on our way home from Auburn, AL a few weeks ago. Of course we were traveling with our 3 [...]

That’s right…Liza and Grace slept until 6 AM this morning! Leslie and I didn’t sleep much though…we kept waking up wondering what was going on and listening out for them! So we will never have to get up in the middle of the night again…ya right…I don’t think so. But we are hopeful that this [...]

“‘Cause my hoooooome’s in Alabama, no matter wheeeeere I lay my head“. I was feeling a little crazy a few weeks ago and downloaded this song as the ringtone on my cellphone (sung by Randy Owens of the great country group Alabama).

Don’t worry (Mom), I’m not going to become a Catholic Monk or anything but I was truly impacted by what I observed…mainly the persistence and lifetime dedication they live with.

Here’s a picture we took of the girls this morning(now 12 weeks old). They are growing so much…up to a whopping 9 (Grace-left) and 10 lbs (Liza-right). The best part of it all has been to watch their little personalities come out. Grace is a little more spunky than Liza. She’s is a real talker [...]
