So we're back from our trip to Beaumont, where we've finally purchased a video camera! Yay! So instead of writing all about our trip, I'm going to show you after I edit the video together!


In other news, we're loading the truck on August 28th and it's just possible that I will go crazy between now and then! So, fair warning to everyone who happens to read this . . .

There's so much going on and I think everything has culminated on the 23rd! It's going to be a hectic, but fun day in my prediction. We're having a garage sale on the 22nd and 23rd. My Dad, Paw-Paw and Eric are all coming to move Eric in to his dorm and take the fishing trip that we gave them. We're packing up so Dad can take a truckload back to IL when he leaves. Then, we're having a goodbye party on the evening of the 23rd. It's our last Sunday at Highway on the 24th and I believe there are 2 showers on that day. Then, it's manic packing until the 28th when we get the truck. My parents and Miss Callie and I will all drive up on the 29th, and Philip will follow with Meeko on the 30th.

On the 31st, we have a birthday (life) celebration of a very special lady in my life, Grandma Ruth. After that, we plan to look for and move into an apartment by Tuesday, September 2nd, so we can return the moving truck without having to unload everything at my parents' house and then move everything again into an apartment. (Hopefully!)

So that's the plan for the next two weeks of our life. Full, emotional, hectic . . . but I think it's going to be good!

Sunday Morning

Yesterday, Callie came into my room while I was finishing up getting ready for church by putting on my jewelry. Callie: Mommy, you're very pretty. Me: Callie, that's very sweet. Thank you! Callie: You're welcome. Daddy's pretty too! Me: Oh Callie, you need to go tell him that . . . :)

Meanwhile, back at the Farm . . .

We're having some exciting happenings around the Booker Farm so I thought I'd write a little bit about what's going on with the kiddos. Callie Callie is so excited that we now have two dogs and three cats. Their names are (dogs) Belle and Ariel, (cats) Duchess, Dixie, and Thomas O'Malley -- Tom for short. She is very excited to be wrapping up another school year and looking forward to our travels this summer. She is taking on more responsibility around the house (which I love) and doing an excellent job for the most part in taking care of all the animals. I'm certainly enjoying watching her grow and blossom in so many ways, but this is especially significant to me. Philip and I are really striving to raise our children to be responsible, caring, and kind adults! I'm now teaching her on Wednesday Night Bible Class and I love observing her for the first time in a classroom setting as her teacher as well. She is a delight to have in class, if I may s...

Sometimes it's hard . . .

I feel like I've finally awoken from a long, chaotic dream. The past couple of weeks have gone so much more smoothly. The first 3 (or so) months with a new baby just throws my world upside down and inside out. While I'm in it, I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel --  that time when we all adapt to each other and find our new routine. I'm not saying I don't love it, because I do. I just don't love all of it! So I'll do a quick little catch up, write Nolan's birth story in another post and we'll be back on track. For a little bit at least. I think I've said before that I love writing. I mean love it. But for some reason, I've never been good at keeping a journal. I really want to. There are so many moments I want to make sure I write down and remember and I want to be good at keeping track of everything. But over and over again I prove it's just not something that I'm consistent with. It irritates me to the point th...
