First Trip

Well, I've gone and done it. I've planned a plane trip to Texas, and I'm doing it all without Philip! Yikes!

Actually, I don't think it's going to be that bad, except for all the crazy airport stuff . . . Hopefully, both kids will be so happy to be in new places and exploring along the way that they won't even notice all the security loopholes we'll be jumping through.

News from the home front: Callie loves the Little Einsteins series. I usually let her pick out something new to play with or watch or listen to on road trips and this time she chose a Little Einsteins dvd. Obsessed! Every time we get in the car, or talk about the car, or anything to do with the car, she says "Einsteins?!?"

Oh, you might ask "What road trip?" Well, we went to the Hill Family Reunion in Tennessee this past weekend. We had a good time with all of our cousins and aunts and uncles. Unfortunately, we don't get down there very often -- all of the kids had grown so much and looked completely different than the last time we saw everyone. We had fun sharing Gabriel with everyone and sharing stories.

Gabriel is doing well. We keep fighting diaper rash, but other than that, he's doing really well. Every once in a while we seem to have a fussy hour, or sometimes day . . . but he's a generally calm, quiet baby. However, he does seem to have a problem with me working out. I can't seem to keep him happy through the entire thing. Oh well, I have to take care of me too! :)

Well, I guess that's all the latest news. God bless you and yours this 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...
