A 30-year-old

Well, officially tomorrow, but we have a 30-year-old living with us now! Daddy's big 3-0 birthday!

We had to surprise him, so we celebrated with the kids the day before and they help me put together some gifts for their Daddy. Tomorrow, I have arranged for Daddy and Mommy to take a special and extremely rare date night so it worked out for the best that we celebrated tonight anyway.



 Daddy came home to some of his favorite sodas, each bottle has a note saying why we "cheer" him!



Daddy's been a touch apprehensive about the number 30 so Gabe helped me pick up this gift to show him that 30 is going to be really cool too!


Mommy and Callie showed him that 30 is going to be pretty sweet with his favorite treat -- homemade brownies.


And they made him this awesome card, because he needs an extra hand or two to show his age on his fingers from now on! (Nolan's balled fists did not show as well as the other two cooperative kids, but Philip got the general point -- lol)

Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you!!

That's our excitement for today! God bless you and yours.

I thought Nolan's prints might have been his feet. :) Good job all of you!

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...
