What is going on? For a while now it seems if I try to comment on my own or even others blogs I get a message that pops up telling me I am unable to do so? WHY? Anyone else having this problem?

My boy and his many funny faces!

"Say what?!"

"No way!"

"You lie!"

"Who'dve thunk it?!"

Sunday Scriptures...whenever I need to be inspired:

...to be a better woman, wife, mother...(especially after the kind of week I've had)

I turn to this:

I know I've blogged it before, but it's one of those things that deserves to be mentioned again from time to time.

11The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.

And works with her hands in delight.

But you excel them all."

But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

~ Proverbs 31:10-31

Only on a Sunday morning!!!

Only on a Sunday morning with every intention of making it to Church (for the third week in a row!!!!!!):

* does mamma sleep late on accident because she stayed up too late working on schoolwork and boo was up 3 times between the hours of 1 am and 6:30 am (yes, you read that correctly!)

*does mamma take too long getting ready herself and boo in an attempt to look somewhat civilized!

*does boo have a major BLOWOUT in his brand new WHITE onesie requiring the onesie to be trashed (there was no saving this one ladies)and boo to receive a full on bath, diaper change alone was not going to cut it this time!

*is mamma ready to go straight back to bed at 9am. Thank GOD for online church! That's all I have to say!!!!

Where do I start?

I think it's finally going to happen! Things should be settling into a bit more of an organized routine here shortly. Oh how I've longed to see that little light at the end of the tunnel after the many months of craziness we've survived! I'm hoping to start becoming a bit more of a regular around these parts again as things progress in the next few months here at the Dillard family residence! :)

Btw...can you believe I'll be starting the planning for a FIRST BIRTHDAY for a VERY SPECIAL young man! How is that even possible?! Seriously?

I love my sister

My little sister recently came to visit...while out and about we took this photo and I love it! I couldn't believe we were actually able to get all three of us looking in the right direction and smiling at that!!! I miss her! <3
