The End of Birthweek

By


At our house birthdays aren't just a day. What would the fun be in that? Really you can start claiming it's your birthday several days before and continue for as many after the actual event. I think Sadie really takes the cake as far as how many times a birthday can be celebrated. We opened presents with mom and Meagan, we took treats into her class on her birthday, we did treats at her soccer game that night, and yesterday we had her birthday party. She might not be done with her birthday but I am done and done. However, I will save all my stories of frustration (broken 9x13 full of cupcakes, and oh so much more) for another day. Sadie was Super Star in February and I wrote up a little Bio and I thought I would post it on here. That way we will get to remember our little Sade.

Sadie Stinchfield is an amazing girl. She is so funny, she keeps our family laughing all the time. Sadie has so much energy that when you ask her to hold still she can't, she has to wiggle something- even if it is just her toes.

Sadie helps take care of our family. She plays with her sisters, sings songs to her brother, and does lots of jobs for her mommy. She especially loves the singing and playing part. Sadie has a beautiful voice and knows lots of songs.

Sadie loves to jump on the trampoline, color, cook with mommy, read stories, ride her bike and her scooter, play her D.S., and watch movies. Sadie also loves to play games. Two of her favorite games are Penguin Plunge and Schwartz Pirate. She also likes to play games in the car, like 20 questions and Brain Quest, and a game where one person starts a story and everyone adds to it.

Sadie has lots and lots of aunts and uncles and cousins and she loves to go visit them. When we are here in Germany by ourselves Sadie and her sister Jane plan all week for "sleepovers." These are on the weekends- they dress up, do their hair and their make up, eat special treats, watch fun movies, and sleep on the couch with their pillows and blankets. They have a great time.

Sadie is a wonderful kid. We love her very much. Her daddy loves her and misses her and can't wait to be back home with his Sadie. We are so glad Sadie is part of our family.

2018 and Another Go!

By
For almost three years I have been thinking how very sad it is that I hadn't continued to keep a journal of our family activities.  No more deployment letters and emails to Mike, no more family blog to keep grandparents and aunts and uncles connected to our family.  Nothing but printed off monthly calendars saved in a file somewhere.  I guess our family blog died a slow death when we lived in Washington and we were seeing everyone all of the time.  It just was not important to keep everyone informed.  They were right there with us.  I did not stop, in all the chaos, to think how very important the blog might be to me, or to my children.  I have often thought of the cute pictures and quotes we had saved on our family blog.  I thought of the interviews I did with the kiddos, and how grateful I was that, somewhere, on a dusty webpage, those beautiful faces, those funny antics, still existed.  I have checked to make sure the blog still existed fr...

MICHAEL IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!!

By
My Michael is coming home . You can't just say it. You have to SING it. Tomorrow my tall, strong, gorgeous, husband will be here and it will be beautiful. He will nestle into the life of our family and we will have him with us, here, in our house, in our family . He'll help put on jammies and read stories, and tutor Jane in math. He'll take me on dates and wrestle at least one child during sacrament meeting. He'll snuggle me in bed at night and nuzzle my neck while I'm doing dishes. We'll go for walks and play games and watch movies and do fun family Saturday stuff. He'll help carry a kid down to the car and then he'll drive while I put on my makeup ! We love him, we know how much he loves us. We can't wait! Don't worry, I won't work him to death. I won't make him cook dinner every night for the next 10 months or hand over the kids and take off to the spa for the weekend (tempting, but... no). We just want him HERE. I kee...

November 7, 2020, My Beautiful and Wise Daughter, Jane. I can breathe again. I won't be going to bed with my stomach in knots and my whole body feeling tight. I won’t be listening to a President who gains momentum by tearing others down. I won’t be going to sleep worrying that my children won’t have clean water to drink or clean air to breathe. I won’t be going to sleep thinking about the horrific experiences of children being torn from their mother’s and father’s arms because they were seeking refuge. I won’t be living in fear of the rapidly-growing racist attitudes and prejudice—that someday harm would come upon my baby that I have now and my future children. That my sister and my cousin and others that I love won’t be stripped of their rights and feel like they are any less of a human being than the rest of us. If this election wasn’t going to change anything for you and if you didn’t see the harm that Trump was causing, that is great and I’m sincerely glad that you have that p...
