Happy New Year, everyone! We've had two full weeks of family, friendship, food, and fun. :) I hope your holidays have been wonderful, as well. I haven't uploaded all of our Christmas pictures, so I don't really have a recap, but it was good. :)
Well, the holidays are over...and I sooooo wish they weren't! :) Many, many, many things were sitting on the back burner until the turn of the new year. And now? I'm so terrified that I'm nearly paralyzed.
I'm fairly empty of personal revelations, witty thoughts, or amusing stories. Therefore, I'm going to direct you to a different source of information. If you follow this link, it will take you to Cornerstone Church's Media Player. This is where you can download or listen to the mp3's of their weekly teachings. Their pastor, Francis Chan, is the author of Crazy Love, a hugely popular Christian book. When I saw a sermon titled "The Most Important L
Our house has some issues. :) Thankfully, it has far less issues than when we bought it. :)
Recently, my friend, Daryl Hunter, tweeted his three words for the year. I was intrigued, so I followed the link in his tweet. It led me to a blog post by Chris Brogan. His post got my wheels turning, even though it was a little above my head. The idea is to forego traditional "resolutions" in favor of choosing key words for the new year.

Have you ever been so disappointed or irritated in yourself that you just want to crawl into a hole? Or how about someone else? Have you ever been so disappointed or irritated at someone else that you wish *they* would crawl into a hole?
I've got several things to share with you tonight. Bear with me! :)
It's a good thing I was on my toes today! I got up and cleaned (almost) the entire house. Got the dishes all done and started in on the laundry. The kids and I were bathed, dressed, and ready to go...I even had make-up on my face! (If you know me in real life, you know this is R-A-R-E.)
Around 10:45, I thought, "I should probably call and make sure I know where I'm going. I'm not sure which floor of the hospital I'm supposed to be on."
We walked into the radiology department, and it started to sink in:
"Today I could learn that something is terribly wrong with him."
The radiology techs asked me if he'd had a chest x-ray before.
"Sure. I think he's had four or five." I told them that he does best in the little bicycle seat thingy with his arms up around his head, enclosed in a plastic case.
I have not written here awhile. I've done some work on the site, but it's all just been "back end" stuff to help it run smoother. As I was working on the site tonight I came across the post that I wrote about Ruby's birth story. While I enjoy that story immensely, it also made me realize that I haven't really written much about Burke. So here it goes...
Do you like us? Well? Do ya? Do ya?
