Good Friday
Today is Good Friday, the day that Jesus sacrificed himself for my sins. Theo and I went to church for Good Friday service. Teddi went to nursery but they didn’t have a class for Stryder, so he sat with us. We started off with worship, and Theo and my arms were lifted during the second…

2.8 a little late
I know I’m late to this… It’s been a difficult few weeks for a lot of reasons, and then you know – life. First, I had to have my gallbladder removed about 3.5 weeks ago. All went well, and I’m doing good. But it was a little bit of a mental and emotional battle leading…

Mother’s Day 2024
To say that Mother’s Day was special doesn’t fully express what the day truly meant to me. To give some perspective: Theo woke me up with a beautiful gift, one from each of the boys. I got a beautiful sunflower arrangement and a plaque about being an angel mama. The day started with joyful tears. We then got…

1.10
It’s been a while since I wrote anything. I have content that I am working on, but home projects have taken over a bit of my life (as I want to share some images with everyone). Anyway, thank you for sticking with me on our journey. Archer Floyd – I cannot believe we are at…

The Holidays
It’s been a tough few weeks, but the holidays are always hard when you miss someone you love and built part of your life around. Christmas without Archer was hard. There were a lot of little breakdowns throughout the holidays. My family goes to the Wild Lights at the Zoo every year since Archer was…

Oh, Christmas Tree
We didn’t have much time with Archer, but Christmas was one of his favorite life experiences. He absolutely loved all the lights, the tree, the wrapping paper, and just exploring this holiday season. In 2022, Theo and I only had a little Christmas spirit. We know the reason for the season (Jesus), which kept us…

Thanksgiving
There are longer lapses of time since my blogging… It’s not because I don’t have the emotions, thoughts, or words to say. I genuinely try to process my feelings, thoughts, and words. I’ve written a few blogs that never made it to the site, as I didn’t feel the words were “right.” The holiday season…

July 4, 2023
The July 4th holiday is a hard one for me. This was Archer’s first holiday, and I was excited to celebrate with him. Every year my brother throws a little cookout/get-together for the 4th. When Archer was first born, we weren’t sure if we would go. He was only about eight days old, and we…

Happy 2nd Birthday, Archer!
I know it’s cheezy to say that one of the best days of my life was when Archer entered the world on June 26, 2021. As I reflect today, all 292 days with him were the best days of my life. I think I can speak for Theo and say he would agree with me. …

Father’s Day 2023
Leading up to Father’s Day, Theo had not talked much about the day or expressed his feelings. So a few days before Father’s Day, we were on a walk, and I looked at him and asked him how he was feeling with the holiday coming up. He responded, “I’m just trying not to think about…
