January 7, 2014, at 10:19 pm | I keep forgetting to announce that Becky lost her first tooth on Sunday, December 23rd! The poor thing was very feverish with an as-yet-undiagnosed ear infection, but as she was staggering downstairs that morning, she stopped and exclaimed, “Oh!” and proudly produced her bottom left center tooth (the same one that Susie lost a few weeks prior). Even though she was too sick that night to care, I gently tucked her tooth inside the pocket of a pillow that my mom had sewn for my sister and me when we were children. The next morning, she rallied enough to get excited over the sparkly coins that replaced the lost tooth, but it wasn’t until Christmas a few days later that she finally felt like herself again. Because I didn’t get any in-the-moment pictures of the big event, I had her smile for the camera this week so I could document the occasion (you can see Susie’s finger helpfully identifying the new gap). Congratulations on entering the big-kid land of gap-toothed grins, sweet Becky!
January 6, 2014, at 10:10 pm | The weather has been so cold that the kids really haven’t gotten a chance to go outside for more than a few seconds at a stretch recently. But today, it was nearly 50 degrees (which was nearly 50 degrees warmer than it was this weekend!), and the boys were eager to stomp around outside.
As soon as he was released from my clutches, Danny literally started doing laps around the front yard:
Then he walked back and forth in the slushiest snow he could find:
Jimmy needed a little more speed:
It’s supposed to get cold again now, so I guess the boys will be doing laps around the living room tomorrow!

ABOUT US I'm blessed to be saved by the grace of God, loved by my wonderful husband Jim, and embraced by my twin girls, Rebecca Faith and Susanna Joy and my sons Jimmy and Danny. I started this blog in May 2008 when I was hospitalized for pre-term labor at 24 weeks gestation. The Lord allowed me to keep the girls inside until they were 34 weeks along, and on July 27th, Rebecca made her debut, followed by Susanna, five minutes later, on July 28th. We ecstatically welcomed Jimmy into our lives on April 25th, 2011, and Danny on August 31, 2012. This blog has been a personal journal of faith and motherhood and the only way I can remember which child did what and when. Thanks for stopping by to share in my Faith and Joy!
