Stories From Around Our House. Kids Tell the Truth Sometimes. August 4, 2015. August 4, 2015. Kids have a way of saying what is on their minds. It’s sometimes loving and kind…other times I may not want to hear it. Like when Mack would squish my upper arm and tell me he likes how my arm is so soft. Or when Molly tells me one tooth of mine looks a little darker than all the rest. Gee. Thanks, Molly. 8221; “Why would they vote “no? 8221; “Should we stop paying taxes if the money goes to killing babies?

Stories From Around Our House. August 3, 2015. August 3, 2015. I think we’re familiar with the UP movie and the easily distracted dog. A sighting of a squirrel and his focus is gone. I’ve prayed and chosen curriculum, and then I hear about another math someone is trying…”squirrel! We have budgeted and made goals for our money and then we see pictures from someone’s beach vacation and start to doubt that we have made the right decision…”squirrel! So where was I? Purpose, not our own.”. I {heart} my family!

Nugget of Truth | Dorminy Anecdotes

https://dorminyanecdotes.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/nugget-of-truth-2

Stories From Around Our House. August 6, 2015. So I know this isn’t breaking news to most parents, but I heard a little nugget of truth the other day. Actually, I read it somewhere on some blog, and I don’t remember where exactly, but this one sentence stuck out to me. Parenting is mostly listening. Listening. It sounds so simple. Effortless even. But it isn’t always as easy as I think it would be. Listening means not talking. Listening means eye contact. Listening assumes I am approachable. Blog at Word...

Stories From Around Our House. My kiddos met their new cousin! August 29, 2015. August 29, 2015. We all went over the other night to finally get our hands on little Deacon. He is so adorable! Molly had “called” holding Deacon first many months ago. Ruby, while perturbed with her, just rolled her eyes and let Molly have her way. I didn’t even elbow my way in to first place; I was quite patient until it was my turn. We are very happy for Merrilee and Jason. What an adventure they are on! August 28, 2015.

Times with the Todds. Our Life. Our Stories. Thursday, March 20, 2014. This has been an eventful winter. Along with Joe's broken leg we have had some pretty crazy weather around here. Our usual mild Georgia winter took a much harsher turn this year. We had some seriously cold, snowy, icy, wet, gloomy days! We had a beautiful snow the end of January. We got several inches overnight, so the kids got to wake up to a winter wonderland. How fun it was to see their excitement! View from our back deck. I think ...
