Internet Service? Not Hardly!


Callie stacks her new cups! Ta da!


Callie's "table" talks with her new dolls at her new table.

As you can see, Callie had a couple big birthday celebrations!

We've been having trouble with our internet service again. The poor service tech has been out several times and has not been able to find the source of our problem. I'm a little frustrated with our provider however . . . they haven't exactly been pleasant about our bill. Of course, if they were providing the service we had agreed upon, I wouldn't have a problem paying them!

The Booker 3 are living alone in the farm house now! (Another reason the blogs have been few and far between.) It's an ongoing process and things are slowly (really slowly) coming together. Let's just put it this way, we're hoping to have things settled by the time Gabe gets here. Mom and Dad are down the road at their new house and have already have their first guests.

The Bookers from Beaumont visited this past week while Linda was on Spring Break from school. We had a fun time together and they enjoyed playing with Callie. Callie enjoyed having a lot of attention over the past few days, making the most of her time in the spotlight by dancing and singing and jabbering most of the time! Hopefully, she'll make an easy transition back into her normal routine and not expect Mommy's undivided attention all the time -- because Mommy has a whole lot to do!

We're planning a family vacation at the beginning of next month to Boston, MA to visit Uncle Myron, Aunt Cordelia, and Cedric. On the way, we're planning on stopping in Canada, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. We've got a lot of fun things on the schedule we're hoping to do! It will be our first vacation since Philip and I went on our honeymoon. :)

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...
