During the Christmas break I was able to do a few home improvement projects that I want to share with you. First, I knew that I wanted to make the living room more comfortable and applicable to my kids, so I added a book shelf for their books and a table for their puzzles and coloring. The second was a headboard that I made. My sister Joanie and her husband came to visit just last week and I … [Read more...] about Home Improvement Projects

Brooklyn Jo is Home!
Brooklyn Jo Bowman is here. She was born March 7, 2016. I was terribly anxious to have her come, but she had different plans. Here is her birth story. On Sunday morning my water broke or at least I thought it had. (I thought my water had broken two weeks earlier and it hadn't.) Labor did not begin so I tried to sleep and not cry from frustration. Monday morning Cody stayed home with me and we … [Read more...] about Brooklyn Jo is Home!
