Moriah's Piano Recital

(Moriah looks beautiful)

(Daddy and Moriah)

This past Sunday, Moriah performed in her first Piano Recital. She played three different songs. She did wonderfully. Moriah is my piano master! She loves to play. I never have to fuss to get her to practice her books. She is always on the piano. Moriah is one of the top students in her class.

We had so much fun preparing for this recital: We went out and bought her a nice dress and shoes to match; I did her hair in curls, painted her fingernails and toes to match her dress; And yes she got to wear a little bit of makeup too. She looked beautiful and you could tell she felt very special. I, for some reason was a nervous wreck (in a small way). I just wanted everything to work out just right for her. I was also thinking that if I am feeling this way with a piano recital, how will I be with her wedding. Sheesh...I better calm down a bit. LOL.

Anyhow, this week has been busy! My schedule has been thrown out the window. Laundry has been stacked up to the roof, house is dirty, and what else can I complain about..hmmmm....Oh, yeah, it has been raining the past three days here in Florida and it is cold outside. All this rain makes you want to sleep in and forget about everything else. The kids have been cooped up inside and you know what that means. Everyone is getting on each others nerve. LOL

She is beautiful. What songs did she play? And I had to laugh when you worried a bit over her wedding. I have those thoughts too so I try to be very careful which events to make "big". It's so hard choosing. But don't want to spoil them too much:) We just finished with 2 recitals. Time to relax. But our piano teacher insist that we continue through the summer.

What Makes us Better Mothers? How do we View others?

What makes us better mothers? Do you homeschool or send your kids to school? Do you cloth diaper, use disposables or both? Do you breastfeed, bottle feed or both? Do you home birth, hospital birth or done both? Do you natural birth, use epidurals, or done both? Do you cook with whole foods or open up a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese? Do you home church or are a member of mega church? Do you wear a head covering, long skirts or have short hair and wear trendy clothes? Do you do attachment parenting or let your babies cry to sleep? Do you have 2 children or 20? Do you use birth control or not? Do you live on your own land/farm or do you live in a small apartment? Do you work or stay home with the kids? Do you immunize or never dare to inject your child? I am going to be very transparent and open with you all. I don't know if it's just hormones but what I have swimming in my heart and mind lately needs to come out. So this is the case for my posting this side of me. I know we can ...

Joyful Mother wasn't very Joyful....

A short little post to let you know I AM OK!! I know the last post was rather hopeless than hopeful. I am doing much better and I do feel like there has been a bit of a breakthrough in my attitude. I have been letting every little thing on this journey bother me so very much. It doesn't matter what it wass....it was bothering me. I was even snappy to my mother-in-law the other day and it wasn't very pretty or Christ Like at all!! :( I am so very thankful my mom-in-law loves me unconditionally and embraces me even when I am ugly. Seriously! I was letting everything bother me!! I had been making myself out to be a burden or a "visitor" rather than a daughter. I wasn't allowing myself to be accepted rather I was making myself out to be a burden. A burden that no one had put on me. I did this to myself by listening to the enemy's lies. After a good talk with my mom-in-law and with the Lord, ...

She is Here!! Welcome Ana Karisa!!

Just a quick update to let you know we had the baby!! Yay!!!! :D Here name: Ana Karisa (pronounced A-nah Ka-ree-sah ) Born: January 30 at 9:15 PM Weight: 7'2 oz 19 inches Beautiful little girl. Here are some pictures and when I start feeling normal and not so much like a milk cow, then I will post the details of what took place on Delivery day. ( Ana about 5 minutes old) (Here she after her check up--about 30 minutes old) (Coming home!! 1 1/2 days old) We came home yesterday late afternoon, and I am lacking much sleep. I really haven't slept since last Saturday. She is nursing a lot right now to bring down my milk. I've been nursing around the clock. Almost every hour. I am doing this because she has been hungry and I need my milk to come in as soon as possible. I am showing signs today of it coming in. She is not so fussy and more content. It is so easy to forget about those newborn days. It doesn't matter how many babies you have had in the pas...
