Overheard at Home (sort of) 3/22/2015

In Sunday school, Sam's class was talking about Jesus healing the lame man who was brought to him by his friends.  They carried him to a crowded house where people were gathered around Jesus.  They couldn't get to him, so they hoisted this lame man on a mat up to the roof - then dug a hole in the roof and lowered the lame man down to Jesus.  (What a beautiful picture of friendship and persistence!)

Sunday School Teacher: Before we go any further...does anyone know what LAME means?
Sam looks around and raises his hand.  Finally, puts his hand up.
SS Teacher: Yes. Sam.
Sam: Um...not that interesting?

That's my boy.  He knows the real meaning of LAME.

Overheard at Home 3/2/2015

Sitting at the breakfast table at 7:00am.

Sam: Did you know bananas have names?
Jason: Really? Bananas have names?
Sam: Yeah.  They have tags on them that say their names.
Me: Oh...like Chiquita and DelMonte.
Sam: Yeah. I ate a banana one time named Frank.

Overheard at Home 2/27/2014

Mo and Sam playing on the back deck.  Mo is SCREAMING, and Sam is making a high-pitched squawking sound.

Me:  What in the WORLD are y'all doing?
Mo:  Don't worry, Mama.  We are just playing.  I'm the crazy lady, and I'm after his bird.

Of course.

2013 in 15 seconds or less


Thanks to Instagram...I'm in the world of social media.  Here's a rundown on our year by Instagram "likes."  Pretty much sums it up, though.

Happy Quarter Bday, Nate!

Molly and Sam wanted to know how old Nate is...we are going with "point two-five."  Three months has FLOWN by!

Nathan Daniel Harwell

Baby #3 has arrived.  Nathan Daniel "Nate" was born on Monday, August 12th at 7:53pm.
6 pounds, 10 ounces and 19 inches long.

He looks just like Molly and Sam and was the exact same birth weight as big sister.  We are all in love and completely grateful!

A Weekend Away

The kids spent a weekend at Gram's house...and it was a blast!  I'm glad that some of the fun was documented.  These are some lucky children...

Happy Birthday, Granny!

This beautiful lady is 94 years-old today!  (You read that right...it's not a typo, but it sure is hard to believe.)

We love you, Granny!  You're one year BETTER!

June 2013 - via iPhone

It's rained a ton this month, so we were ready to head to our favorite pool. Imagine the disappointment on my sunscreen-coated children when we saw this...

Let's call this "plan b" for a contaminated pool.

More rain...more indoor fun.  Puzzles and trying on our new summer clothes from Gram.  Woo hoo!



Sunshine...at the pool with friends...finally.  We like to say that Sam is "big in life."  I think the picture below captures that.



More rain...jam sessions, reuniting with Sam's BFF, and movies at home.  





We watched one of my all-time favorite movies - The Sandlot.  Here's Sam as Squints Palledorous.


Yes...sunshine.  Hitting the pool.  Molly is our fish.  She leaves the pool exhausted every time - so you see why I like taking them so much.


Been finding some self-portraits on my iPhone...

Daddy's band, The Warm Fuzzies, was on the WUGA 91.7fm show "It's Friday."  So we had a big post-pool dance party and got to watch them play on local access tv.  Awesome.



"popsicle tongue"

We celebrated Father's Day with this guy...who is the "best dad because he's good at wrestling; good at snuggling; plus he loves us and God."

More rain...more activities at home.  What craft could they be doing? Why...making iPhones on the porch, of course.

Got our summer "to do list" written out...

But it's still raining here...so movie time again!


But sunshine is on the way...we think.  Although, Molly did explain to me that it's called "predicting the weather because they just don't know for sure."
