With Lee’s T-Ball season officially coming to a close, our nights have finally freed up again. Which is something I thought I would be excited about. However, instead, I find myself a bit torn up about it. I really loved watching him play. I loved his excitement for the game and his dedication to the…

Groceries, groceries, groceries
Lee Thomas has not been to the grocery store since March. And my boy LOVES the grocery store. Or, “the blue store,” as he calls it. This morning, with D already gone for work and Evie still snoozing, I plopped down on the couch beside Lee with my laptop and started building a grocery pick-up…
3rd trimester and a toddler
Today I finally accepted how pregnant I am.. I had to put on four separate shirts before I got to one that covered my belly (and yes, it was a Maternity shirt). I walked into the ladies room at work and caught a glance of myself from the side. Wow. I took a picture to…
20 week update
I fully understand and appreciate that most of you come here for Lee stories, so let me start out by saying that Lee had THE BEST Christmas! D and I try so hard to strike a balance between spoiling him with toys we know that he will love and educational toys that we want him…
And then three became four
I’m pregnant! We prayed and we prayed and we prayed for Lee. We tried everything we could think of. If you’ve read my post about PCOS, you know exactly what we went through. And for some unknown reason, other than God himself putting a hand on my shoulder, we have conceived a child without the…
“Mommy..no, no, no..”
My husband was up and out of the house before the crack of dawn this morning to go duck hunting with his buddies. It was like 28 degrees outside. They’re insane. About 15 minutes after D snuck out the back door, I heard Lee’s little feet running through the living room. He rounded the corner…
This little light of mine
I used to think that I was destined for greatness (yes, this is embarrassing to admit). But in the beginning, didn’t we all? Be honest. You thought you were going to change the world. Whether you were going to become an astronaut, or a policeman, or a doctor, you had big dreams. Anyway, I have…
Farewell old friends
When Lee first started walking, and I mean REALLY walking, I bought him a pair of grey and navy New Balance tennis shoes (aka hims tennies). They were too big, but he loved them, so we decided to make them work. Yesterday, 6 months in, after countless wash cycles, the time had come… for new shoes. (Moment…
A day in the life
Yesterday, I got to spend the entire day with Lee. His 18-month checkup was scheduled for 10:30 am, so I took the whole day off. Here is how we spent it: 5:30 AM – D is shaking me awake. “Are you not letting me sleep in on my day off?” I remember saying. I heard…
