This and That

A Ride through Cades Cove, TN

Before venturing up to the top of Clingman’s Dome, Ray, the kids and I took a leisurely drive through Cades Cove. The drive to the cove was beautiful… with the road winding and curving through the mountains and alongside a river… though at times it was bit much for me. I’ve found out that I can not read maps while in a moving vehicle… I thought I could… but I can’t.

Getting back to normal

For some reason I can’t seem to get back into the groove of things. The past week has been a mix of normal and trying. It started off easy enough… I still had half a mountain of clothes to tackle and a house to get back in order. Isn’t it funny how you just have soooo much more work to do after a vacation… even when you’re still trying to keep up with that work while on vacation… yeah not really funny… not funny at all.

I wish… again

About a year and a half ago, it was just Ray, Noah and me. We had had some rough times with Noah shortly after he was born. He needed to be retested over and over again for his newborn screening, which he kept failing… eventually causing us to drive downtown to to Children’s Memorial Hospital for even more tests

The day it all began

I may have mentioned once or twice that I started blogging because I needed something to keep me away during Noah’s many late night feedings. A few of the women in my online pregnancy group had blogs and I was interested to find out what they were all about.

Noah vs Bedtime

My sweet little boy… he is getting better at it, but he is still such a pain in the rear when it comes to sleep.

We have had more than our share of bed time problems with this little two year old and yet bed time continues to be a thorn in my side with this little one.

Over the past few weeks, Ray has spent time demolishing what used to be our guest/Noah’s bathroom. I’m glad that he has been doing it, because I would not have wanted to have to pull out every single one of these bad boys…

Happy 2 years!

Today is my 2 year Blogoversary!! I almost forgot about it, but then the Dr’s office called confirmed Ray’s appointment tomorrow and I remembered that his appointment is on the 19th, so today is the 18th and OH MY GOODNESS I started blogging two years ago with a post detailing Noah’s birth and some pictures of the first 10 days of his life. Anyway…

My Son is Growing Up

I was putting away the dirty dishes last night, when it hit me… I am the mother of a two year old toddler, who at this very minute is sleeping in a twin bed all by himself! A wave of emotion ran over me at that moment and I had to swallow hard and fight back the tears, because as much as I would like to deny it, my son is growing up.
