We had a few firsts this weekend, exciting stuff.
Bump flew his first kite. Oh, he’s been dying to give it a try - especially since the whole Curious George Flies a Kite thing. He and Gil were down at the James River together throwing rocks in the water. Someone was flying a [...]

4 Months
Posted in Motherhood, Parenting on January 22, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Well little Toot (rhymes with soot) - you are now 4 months old. It’s a milestone time in your development. You have started to show us that personality that is hidden in there. Suddenly you’ve gone from this little blob, to this radiant and smiling baby who sticks his tongue in his [...]
A Penny Saved
Posted in Family, Motherhood, Parenting on January 11, 2007 | 3 Comments »
My dear sweet little Bump, took the old “penny saved” proverb a little too seriously when he swallowed one yesterday afternoon. Yikes! It went down hard and scared the heck out of him, but after that, he was cool as a cucumber.
But I still had to take him for an xray because of [...]
One Month Old

Well BT, you've been with us on the outside for one month. How do you like it so far?
My little one, it was such a joy to finally see your smiling screaming face at the hospital on delivery day. What a miraculous gift that God had given us. I'll never forget when they wrapped you [...]
He Sleeps With Cars
Posted in Daily Diary, Parenting on October 2, 2006 | 2 Comments »
My little Bumpa Rumpa likes to go to bed with the things he loves most. Every day he sleeps with "the guys" - two horsey puppets and a Ty stuffed dog we have named "Puppers". But he also brings along other toys that he happens to be infatuated with. Tonight he fell asleep clutching two [...]
I Forgot How Hard This Is
Posted in Motherhood, Parenting, Sewing on September 30, 2006 | 4 Comments »
I forgot how hard these early days are - even when you have help.
Feeding is still our issue. BT is not nursing. He just doesn't want to stay on and when he does, he takes FOREVER to nurse, and it's still not enough. So, he's still getting a few feedings a day, but I am [...]
Bumpisms….

File this under kids say and do the darndest things.
Bump has just learned the ABC song. He has known all of his letters (and the sounds they make) for a while, but he finally put all the pieces of the alphabet song together this weekend. So now he's an alphabet maniac. He'll sing it 6-7 [...]
We Wonder Why There’s Crisis in America’s Youth
Posted in Parenting on August 17, 2006 | 2 Comments »
Last week Bump and I ventured to one of the local Thrift Stores, hoping to find a table we could use as a desk in our office/playroom and possibly a VCR (since I broke the other one and the replacement one I purchased was JUNK.) I hadn’t been there in a while (or yard [...]
“Mommy’s Right There”
Posted in Parenting on August 7, 2006 | 4 Comments »
It has become increasingly apparent that perhaps a battery powered baby mobile is not in my future. Bump is so infatuated with them that he can’t keep his hands off of the wind-up one we have. So much so, that I had to pull it off the crib and stash it in the [...]
I Think I’ve Found A Compromise
Posted in Parenting on March 10, 2006 | 3 Comments »
While perusing the “pretend food” section at Walmart today, I ran across a few things….this and this.
Gil hasn’t seen them, yet, but they promise to offer a less threatening envirnoment than the actual play size kitchen set. Bump has already used Play-Doh at the Bible Study daycare, but never here. It’s the perfect [...]
