Isaac is Sick...with Double Pneumonia!
And yes...I can spell pneumonia! lol. We took Isaac to the immediate care clinic tonight because he has been sick for forever (Beginning of December). We thought that he had just a really bad cold. He started vomiting on Sunday, but seemed to keep most things down. And he was running a fever. Monday, he seemed to be doing a little better, so we thought. Today, he wakes up sick again...coughing uncontrollably, and just can't seem to keep his eyes open! Brian was at work, and I had no way to get...
The Deer Are Cold...
This picture was on Mike Prangley's Blog...aka our weather man. I just thought I would share it for those of you who are not avid weather blog readers hahahahahaha....
My shoes....
When I first read this poem called, "Ugly Shoes", it really made me feel like others in this world feel the same as I do. But then I got convicted...Others in this WORLD do feel the same as I. I am wrong. This poem is entitled ugly shoes, but I don't exactly think of them as ugly. I just think of them as shoes. They are creating me into a woman...

Not really anything to say...
Nothing insightful..no new news...Life seems to be standing still in the Shaw house. And that is fine by me. Kinda liking these very quiet days. Lots of work with Abbie and Isaac. I have been really working hard on getting Abs caught up on her school since she is a little behind on her grade level...not her age level, but if she wants to stay one grade ahead (which she desperately does) I am going to have to stay on top of the school. We are taking about 4 hours a day to school now. ...

Prayers For Wisdom...
In December, Brian was hired by a nationwide company that supplies maintenance and cleaning teams for industrial companies. He was hired as a supervisor. Looked to be a decent job. Right before Christmas, we learned that they were going to loose the account that Brian would be in charge of. They wanted him to relocate to Evansville instead. Too far away for us. So, Brian left it with them that if they were able to keep the other account in Indianapolis, to let him know.So, today, a month...
Happy Wedding Day...
I am making a digital scrapbook for Brian for Valentine's Day. Looking back on all those pictures really makes me miss how innocent and naive things were back then. Missing being young, and not knowing about the real world. Brian and I seem like such kids in these phot...
Looking Back
I came across this photo of Abbie today...I miss this little girl. ...

My girl is becoming girly...
Oh my Abbie is showing signs of truly being a little girl. She has always had little boys to be her friend, so her girliness has been stifled some. I have noticed since we started at our new church though, Abbie is really thriving in girl land. She is proud that she is in a girls class. She loves singing her songs. And, she has a little admirer. All the other boys in her life, she has known since birth/infancy...they were like brothers to her. Now, she is noticing that there are BOYS!...

The Wash...
So, my life has been pretty full lately. I have taken a lot of the bill stuff back, and trying desperately to be a good housewife. I have spent lots of hours trying to figure out how to get something for nothing lately. For those of you that coupon, you know that this is a job in and of itself sometimes! To add to the lovely chaos of our lives, we have been with out a washer for 4 weeks now. At first we thought that we would just go to the laundry mat...now that is not an option. Do...
And Isaac turns 3...
How could that be? 3...Really??? I mean...that is over 1000 days that my little guy has been in my life! Wowsers. Need to pay better attention to the time. Something that has always been a weakness of mine, time management.So, Isaac had a GREAT day. I overheard him telling his cousin, "This is my favorite day of my whole life!" Kudos go to...

GPS systems...
So we visited a new church today. The pastor was talking about how the Bible is our GPS system. Very common type of analogy for sure. BUT, he got all excited when he learned that you can now choose a celebrity voice for your GPS (global positioning system...just in case you did not know! ;)) He said that he thought it would be awesome if ...

Please Pray for Yana and Olya...
These two sweet girls are 7 year old twins. They need to be adopted!!! They recently came to stay with a family here in Indiana and the family declined to adopt them, sending them back to Ukraine. They really do not have very many options and are living in an orphanage right now. Please pray that God will open the doors for them to find their...

Tis' the song that this blog is singing tonight. I have been trapped in this house for 7 days now (minus my few trips to CVS) and I thought what better time to play with the blog.

Boy...I have a lot to Reflect on.
But for safety issues...not going to do it all here.I can say that the past 7 years have been a huge roller coaster ride. There were times that felt like the ride was going 0-60 in 6 seconds. There were times that it felt that we were riding the "Beasty" with lovely little bumps. Then, there were times that we were at the top of the hill, not...
