Toyota Sienna
We our one of those families now. You know the ones, the ones who drive a mini van. We have been getting by ever so snugly in a cute little Honda Civic but now we are the proud owners of a 2005 Toyota Sienna minivan. And guess where we found it? That’s right, Craigslist, people.

For Dummies Because I need it more than anyone else. I don't even want to show you a picture of what my lawn currently looks like.

Breakfast Prayer
As I placed scrambled eggs and toast in front of my Princess for breakfast, I forgot to say a prayer for her food. She was watching Veggie Tales on Netflix and I was going to sit in the dining room.

Fun Laughter
It is so fun to see my Princess’ sense of humor grow. Silly things are now funny to her. Sometimes during cartoons she will laugh really hard at the funny parts. She is beginning to really understand humor. I love it! Unfortunately, though it is cute to mommy, she cannot pronounce her “l” sound yet. For example, the word “love” comes out “ove”. (A familiar game in our car now is, “Raise your hand if you ‘ove’ mommy?”) When we were driving home the other night she was saying a word I could not … [Read more...]
