I had so much fun with her on the weekend! Thanks for letting the kids stay overnight. A family at church just named their new baby Nora(h). You're on the brink with this name, just like we were on the brink with Emily.

Emily, do you want to be on the brink? I didn't think so.

Norah is such a babe. You and Sarah make me feel a little guilty with your fastidious photo studio visits. I have never set foot in one with one of my children. Am I a bad mom?

Very Cute. Do the boys love having a little sister?

We will be there sometime around the 15th of September. Shauna said you have a dinner scheduled around then? Maybe we can work something out.

I found your blog through another blog (I think nie nie's?)a few weeks ago and realized you're married to the boy I had a huge crush on in high school! Weird. Glad to see he married someone cool. Tell Steve hey...I'm the shy, geeky girl who used to stare at him during seminary.

Carrie, I'm glad you commented. It's fun for me to run into people who were as taken with Steve Craig as I was during high school. I think there were quite a few of us who were intrigued by the guy. That was when his aura of mystery peaked, I think: longish blonde hair, guitarist in a rock band, gymnastics to make the girls swoon, poetry. . . What a lady killer!!

He's still a pretty cool guy, although, it's funny -- he doesn't do any of those things anymore!

Steve said to tell you hi.

You mean I wasn't the only one? This is hilarious finding all these people I went to high school linking to your blog. Email me at mykids.rock@yahoo.com and I'll send you an invite to my family blog. Love your blog, by the way, you're totally fun.

Your daughter looks unbelievably like your husband. That is amazing! What is the best part of having a little girl after several boys?

I'm glad you're coming to UT, not least of all so I can see my niece and nephews more often.

Em, Norah is beautiful. So glad youguys stopped over unannounced the other day. We are going to miss those kind of treats. I still contend that she is a dead ringer for Amye. I'd love to see a split screen of Norah and Amye at 9 months to see if i'm just imaginging things.

Abby, I don't take my kids in to see the professionals, either. I just take 100's of them on my digital camera. I had too many bad experiences at kiddie kandids with my twins to ever want to go back.

cute pics of Norah, she's getting so big. Okay to Carrie who commented, I think you're my sister-in-law's sister-in-law. Does that make sense? Are you related to Janell and Rob Law?

Another taboo topic: money

I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that. Mortgage: I figure out the percentage it will take to cover my mortgage. Usually 29-30%. I think this percentage needs to stay under 35% of take-home after tithing. Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps. This means that you focus on one thing at a time, leaving the rest so that your money is not so thinly spread and you can make visible progress. This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i...

Two things

Image
First and foremost, happy birthday to my wonderful mom! I honestly don't know anyone more generous, giving or good with people. I like to think of myself as being generous, giving and good with people, but I've got nothing on her . She schools me, bigtime. Some of the unique things that make my mom my mom: She loves my children absolutely, which is a joy and a comfort to me. When she is around, they prefer her to me. She would rather be with her grandchildren than out with the adults, but does not relax when they are around. It's constant counting heads, making snowcones, taking off too-warm clothing, changing diapers, getting drinks. It's exhausting, and she's good at it. And she loves it. (I'm pretty sure.) She hates flying, but flies all over the place, because travel and culture and enriching experiences and seeing family trump her fears every time. She also hates bridges. And swimming. And confrontation. And cooking. And bad grammar. And dopey people. And a...
