(If the title has you chuckling or smiling, I can’t take the credit. That would be my better half, Mr. Soto) This past weekend, I gathered with my nearest and dearest friends to create some homemade, special onesies for the littlest Soto coming next month (uh, hopefully next month!) It was such a neat celebration… Continue Reading
I get asked how I survive without a vehicle. Often I wonder why I even used to worry about what I thought at the time was one of Daddy’s silly, extreme ideas. Boy was I wrong. Between 2, often 3 staggered naps, meals, homeschooling lessons, a park within walking distance, strolls to the local fabric… Continue Reading
This morning, I went for a follow up ultrasound to check on the kidneys of our little guy. In our 20 week u/s, the tech didn’t see the left kidney and Doc confirmed it wasn’t in the usual spot (your abdomen) but that sometimes it can be found in the lower pelvic area which we… Continue Reading
Wikipedia gives a sensible explanation but here are my personal reflections: Seconds after snapping this photo, the thought came to me, a revelation actually, since I don’t think my puny little mind could have come up with this on my own, that even all of nature is preparing for that glorious day.

This week has been filled with special moments. Bright, warm moments as I greet these angel eyes each morning well after 7am (after a continued 12+ hour stretch at night from 6 weeks of age) You are so good to me, child.

RESIST..C’mon you have more self control than that! kidding. Anyway, what an exciting day! I shared with… Continue Reading
Today I lugged 60 pounds of sugar and spice and everything nice to the park in our neighborhood. I was a little extremely reluctant after our last experience at the park which involved an overly tired tot expressing her contempt over leaving so audibly that I am positive every house in the Brentwood track could… Continue Reading
These past 2 weeks have been a turning point in our family life.At least worth documenting to look back on when we’re in our 80’s… …and perhaps give our offspring and future generations something to ponder… After much praying & waiting and waiting & praying, we decided to seek counsel. Wise counsel. VERY wise counsel.… Continue Reading
I think a big reason why I am feeling better this week is that I get to see this wonderful man first thing in the morning. I get to share about my degree of nauseating discomfort, complain about a certain child who does not always want to stay in her bed at night and just… Continue Reading
The first commandment in the Bible. One of the few commandments that I am half way decent at obeying. Yes, this shirt is on the correct child Yes, as in Daddy and I have multiplied…again.Yes, as in I’m pregnant… UH-gain! My reaction:Excited. No, make that ecstatic. A tad surprised. A little nervous. A teensy shocked.… Continue Reading
