It’s funny . . . when Ray asked me a few weeks ago how I’d like to spend Mother’s Day, I said that I’d love to just be able to do what I want to do all day . . . no cleaning, no diaper changing, no cooking . . . but maybe some sewing….

Lessons My Dad Taught Me
My dad, William Robert “Smooth” Warren, passed away on May 3 from melanoma which had spread throughout his body over the last year. I was blessed to know that he knew Jesus Christ as his personal Savior, and went home to be with Him. I’ve been reflecting a bit since he died on the things…
Fun with Nana & Papa
My mom and my step-dad came to visit a couple of weekends ago, and we had a great time! They arrived Saturday afternoon, and we headed out to Mesquite to watch a rodeo on Saturday evening. That’s what you’re supposed to do when you come to Texas, right? Nana, Morgan and Me Sean and Papa…

A Beautiful Day for a Visit to the Zoo
Jamie wanted to touch the water. Allen flew through the air. Beautiful Scarlet, Morgan’s youngest charge, went for slide. Samantha paused for a rest. Morgan and Allen played “monkey”. We shared lots of smiles. We took a turtle picture just for Nana and maybe to show off everyone’s mama-made clothes a little. We even had…
Ice!
Jamie is Two!
Jamie had a lovely time at his second birthday party yesterday! Lots of friends came to celebrate with him: the Hills, the Browns, the Mortons, Auntie Janet, Fulton and, of course, Morgan, Sean, Samantha, Allen and Mom and Dad. He was a bit impatient for everyone to arrive. He just couldn’t understand why he had…
Handmade Christmas Projects – Coasters
I really like giving Christmas gifts that are handmade. I also enjoy giving practical gifts. There are two very sweet moms who have watched my three youngest children this year so that I could volunteer in the GFA office two days a week, and we wanted to do something special for them. This project was the perfect…
