Moved and Nearly Settled

Well, we've moved over to Granny and Paw-Paw's house to housesit for them until they get back from SPI, TX in March. We've been having a pretty good time, other than the threateningly cold weather outside. We've enjoyed having family time, and ready access to a treadmill to burn off those holiday sweets! :)

We've kinda been going back and forth, getting clothes and other necessities as the need arises since we're only a few miles away. There are sometimes that I think of something I'd really like to have there, and I've forgotten it by our next trip out. Overall, we've been enjoying our days and evenings of solitude. There are sometimes I wish I had someone there to help with Callie, but we've been making it work.

I was able to go to my first practice for Beethoven's Ninth Symphony last Tuesday. It was hard for me to get out on my own at night and leave Callie with Daddy for awhile, but once I got there, I really enjoyed myself. I'm looking forward to our performance.

Well, I guess that's all the exciting news I have. We don't have internet connection at the house where we are, so my posts may have a little more time between them. Hopefully, I won't lose any readers due to the lack of posting!

Hope everyone has a great week!

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...
