We always knew that we were blessed with our 5 healthy babies, but the reality of how blessed we really were is beginning to sink in. Our first 4 children were very easy, content, healthy babies, so our 5th child, Luke, has rocked our world a little bit. He has always been an intense baby; […]
For the second time in 3 weeks my back decided to go out on me. The first time was just getting out of bed. The second time was while trying to clean up after the dog. Nothing very strenuous, I just happened to move the wrong way. The second time only allowed me to sit

I’ve had it with my sleep problems! I don’t usually have trouble falling asleep, but that’s probably because I don’t even start trying until midnight or later. Sometimes I do have trouble falling asleep, and even if I can fall asleep easily, I usually do not stay asleep all night. Not that I remember any
It’s official – there is a flu wreaking havoc in our house. I don’t know if it’s H1N1, but all the signs are there. Our middle-schooler came down with it Friday night, and she’s been in bed ever since. She had to miss a birthday party and church this weekend, and she won’t be going

Well, I joined the local YMCA recently (they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse…), and I’m really wondering if it will be good for me. Extra exercise is appreciated, but have you ever really looked at some of the exercise equipment they have now. My guess is that if you put that stuff in
Yes, death is an interest of mine. Years ago, when I got married, there were many deaths among family and friends. There were so many deaths, my wife and I joked about our marriage ending the same way. Unfortunately, we were correct. Many deaths in a few short years, with hers as the final death

I am very tired so I will make this one quick. Besides, it was PE again, at the same school as Friday, so there isn’t much to say about it. Kickball again. The only real difference was I had 8th grade health instead of 6th, so I had the 6th graders for PE instead of
