my Colleen has perfect ears!

March 24, 2008 449 Originally uploaded by laurengulde I am jealous of my newest daughter's ears. They are just lovely. I am jealous in a good way... happy for her that she doesn't have my ears! Her ears are tiny and smack on the side of her head. Like my sister said, "they look like they are just glued down!" She will probably never truly appreciate her beautiful ears, because she will never...

How to get more $$ for your tooth...

March 30, 2008 014 Originally uploaded by laurengulde So here's the story. Jonathan lost his first tooth the day after Colleen was born. He was very excited because in Kindergarten you get to put your name on this giant tooth when you loose one. Anyway, he wrapped the tooth up in a little envelope he made and put it under his pillow before he went to bed. As usual, Curt and I kept hearing...

It's nice being completely inspired by someone I've never even met!

So, at St. Mary's in College Station, there's a girl (lady?) named Sarah that works there and contributes to their blog. I think she is so very wise and I absolutely love everything she writes. She takes little parts of her daily life and then connects them to her faith in a very real, hopeful and inspiring way. I hope you'll take some time to read them.Sarah's blog posts on the Aggie Catholics Blog. (and, yes, I'm making up for all the things I've been thinking about blogging for the last 4 weeks,...

And I still wonder what God is trying to teach me by giving me three daughters. I bet he chuckles at the thought. I understand having a son - what girl doesn't want another boy to adore her? Another cute guy to pick on? But...

Emelie and Jonathan had a blast standing in it and went to school completely soaked, but thrilled none the less. The best thing is that the snow ended right as school began, so they weren't tortured all day watching snow flakes fall outside their classroom w...

nesting...

March 10, 2008 054 Originally uploaded by laurengulde So, I've been nesting in very impractical ways... rearranging furniture (not in the baby's room, since she doesn't even have one yet), cleaning out the refrigerator and sewing. I've been sewing bags.They ARE reversible and some even have pockets!! But they're very simple bags that don't even need a pattern. For some reason patterns scare...
