I guess I’m a lot of things: a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a crafter, a cook, a reader, a writer, a homemaker, a pianist, and probably a lot more too. But at the end of the day, I’m just a Christian trying to find and obey God’s will.
:: Liana and Camilla are arriving tomorrow evening. Do you know how excited I am? Of course, there’s the usual yay-my-family-is-coming sort of excitement. But it’s a bit more, too. I love having a huge family, and I love being the oldest — except for the part about being grown up, out of the house, [...]
This happy, sweet, smooshy baby makes us smile.
And apparently, his daddy makes him smile, too:
He’s just too cute, you know?
See what I mean? I could just sit and watch him forever.
p.s. The sippy cup is one of William’s favorite toys. I think it makes him feel grown up to be sucking on a cup that [...]
This morning, Jameson drew his very first face. Granted, this face was the weirdest shape I’ve ever seen, and the cheeks were random lines outside that random shape, but still. I was extremely proud.
Which made me laugh. I get a kick out of how excited I get over little accomplishments. Somewhere in the back of [...]
Height: 93 Percentile
Weight: WAY off the chart!!!
Olly and Me, by Shirley Hughes
This is our newest library find, and a super-enjoyable one, at that! It’s a book of poems about a little girl, her little brother, and their family life. Jameson loves the subject matter, as it’s all familiar to him. And the paintings are fabulous. Often, a long poem on [...]
This morning we heard the news that last night, a 4-month-old baby was pronounced dead after having been left in a car all day.
It reminded me of a simple truth I often forget: my babies need me. And not just in a, “Aww! Let Mama kiss your boo-boo!” sort of way. They literally need [...]
Yup, my name is Danica. Like the race car driver, whose name I know, but whose career I know nothing about. A Nascar fan I am not. Things like reading, playing piano, gardening, cooking, sewing, writing, and keeping my bathroom bleached are more up my alley. Read more »My maiden name is Sinclair (not Patrick), and I come from good stock. (So says my husband, anyway!) I'm the oldest of 9 kids--and my parents are neither insane, uninformed, or Catholic. They're actually the best parents you could ask for. Seriously. (And, consequently, I think pretty highly of my siblings, too, whose blogs you can access from the links below.) I've joined a new clan, though, and my husband and I have been "leaving-and-cleaving" for 2 years and counting. We have a son who you'll read much (too much?) about. Oh. And there are pictures of him, too--hundreds of them--should you care to click on over to my flickr account. I'm a stay at home mom who is redefining that title--I literally stay at home as much as I possibly can. I love to be home! Home, by the way, is in Northern California, although my roots are in a lil' ol' town in Northern New York. Lastly, I take all blame for any ridiculous, outlandish, illogical posts. Anything worth commenting on or linking to is due to my husband's encouragement. In the spirit of the Little engine That Could, "He thinks I can, He thinks I can, He thinks I can,...", and sometimes, that's all a wife needs.
