daily thought

To combat that "overwhelmed" feeling, use the old military maxim: Concentrate your forces and attack at the point where you may achieve a break-through. Don't sit around wringing your hands because so many problems and difficulties beset you. Pick out one, break it down into manageable parts, and go after each part in turn.

Pine Nut Picking

These photos are from 2005! Brandon went a pickin' last weekend and he's going again this weekend. Anika and I missed him so much last weekend that we are considering going along just to camp this weekend. Poor little girl, I haven't taken her camping all summer and she keeps asking if she can. So I may just have to suck it up and pack it up and head out. And accept the fact I will have to leave the tent four times a night to pee, and likely vomit in the morning. I'm still puking occasionally and can't figure that one out... never puked after 13 weeks with Anika. I am 18 weeks this week. My ultrasound is September 30th. Place your bets now... girl or boy? I'm hoping for a girl so Anika can have a sister.

Yep, 39 and a Bridesmaid! Is This Legal?

HAPPY 22 JAKE!

I remember being so excited to have a little baby in the house. And as you've heard one million times, we all treated you like our little prince. Not every child gets that much attention. We totally doted on you and we can't help but do it still. I consider you and Ian my brothers. I love you. Have a good day and be a good little boy.
