all you need is a little faith
Fifth.

I was going to write a long post about Faith for her birthday today - she’s so different than one year ago, but still just as sweet as the day she was born. However, the two of us have spent every second together the past few days (and I’m *still* fighting the same ridiculous sinus infection) so [...]

The Christmas.
by holli24 Dec 2008 at 2:56 pm
Every Christmas since Faith was born, we’ve said something like “this will be the first Christmas she actually knows what is going on!!!” Or “this is the first Christmas she’ll understand who Santa is!!” I know I mentioned Disney in my last post - but it’s sort of like knowing when the perfect age is for [...]

Christmas Time.
by holli17 Dec 2008 at 11:07 am
When I was little, I remember doing all the traditional Christmas activities. What I don’t remember is whether these were done individually over a span of say… 12 years during my early childhood - or if we crammed each and every Christmas tradition into every single December. Either I’ve lost energy - I’ve gotten slower… [...]

The Santa Pause.
by holli10 Dec 2008 at 12:06 am
This has definitely been a double-edged sword of a holiday season, if that makes any sense whatsoever (and I’m sure it HAS to.. I can’t be the only person going through this). Faith is at the perfect age - she’s in the throes of Santa magic, she’s over the moon with holiday spirit… it’s a [...]

me and my shadow.

It seems like time has been slipping away… as much as I’ve protested blogging - I still want to record Faith’s life periodically. There is one leeetle thing physically standing in my way - and it’s not my feelings (I’m kinda tired of talking about feelings). It’s not a lack of activity - it’s an [...]

For Faith.
by holli24 Nov 2008 at 3:01 pm
Faith, if I never write another post on this blog - I think it’s important that I write this one… (and whether I intend to journal publicly or make this blog private in the next few weeks - I will keep documenting your life.. I promise). I’ve spent the last few days trying to figure [...]

just barely.
by holli15 Nov 2008 at 11:17 pm
I’m not sure if anyone has noticed, but I’ve been a little quiet online lately. I’ve probably been thinking and feeling too much, but somehow things just seem different to me. I wish I could fully express everything that is going on in our lives and in my head - but for once, I just [...]

What’s less controversial than talking about the weather? It’s definitely starting to turn colder - though just slightly.. Lately, it’s been beautiful in Oklahoma (minus the one dreary day of rain). We’ve had a few chilly days - but for the most part, it’s warm enough to go play in the park in just a [...]

wocked the vote.
by holli4 Nov 2008 at 7:05 pm
Win or lose - our voices will be heard!! Yay!!! My only issue is that anyone could have walked in and pretended to be us - all we had to do was give our names… they didn’t ask to see our voter registration cards, they didn’t ask for a driver’s license… they didn’t ask for [...]

the final 48.
by holli3 Nov 2008 at 12:05 am
I’ve been silent through most of this election - on my very own blog. Why? It’s so unlike me. For the most part, the silence policy has extended to Twitter… for the sake of pretty much one friendship. I’m going to ask that person to *not* read any further (or anyone who is radically liberal [...]

Tonight was proclaimed to be Faith’s “best night of her entire life!!!” I’m glad, since she had the “worst night of her entire life” just a few days ago… (I can’t remember what caused the “worst night” - I think it was a battle of wills, when I said she needed to thank DAAAAddy for [...]

I Wish My Life Could Feel Like A…
by holli27 Oct 2008 at 2:28 pm
Yesterday, we dashed out to see High School Musical 3. I’ve taken a few jabs for being an adult who actually enjoys watching the High School Musical series - but I’m unrepentant. Growing up, some of my fondest memories involve me and my cousin dancing on my Aunt’s black marble coffee table. We would re-enact [...]

guess what?
by holli24 Oct 2008 at 12:44 am
Lately, I know what will follow those two words.. Well, not verbatim - I can’t tell you exactly what will come out of Faith’s mouth after she rushes into a room and gasps “Mommy, GUESS WHAT!!!” But I can pretty much say with unwavering certainty she’s going to tell me some detail about the life of a [...]

I haven’t been doing a good job of balancing my various hobbies - it seems like all my free time lately has gone to ceramics.. and most photography time has gone to photographing my art when I get a few pieces finished. I’m really slow - since I’ve started adding more tiny things to my [...]

Goodbye to Goodnights?
by holli17 Oct 2008 at 5:00 pm
This is one of those posts where I wonder if Faith is going to curse me someday for sharing TMI - but honestly, I don’t think she’s out of the norm for any 4-year-old. My concern is that I’m just not sure I’m doing the right thing to help her going forward. This whole “night-time diaper” business… [...]

Threefold.
by holli14 Oct 2008 at 6:02 pm
It’s hard to imagine that on this very day nearly all of the couples in our family were married. Well, maybe not all of us - but DAAAAddy and me, Nana and Poppy - and Grams and Gramps. I will never regret choosing to share this day with our parents, although their milestones do make [...]

Night before last, I heard someone knocking on the door at around 4am. I sat straight up in the bed and just about had a heart attack. I crept downstairs and peeked out the front-door window - not quite sure what I would do if someone was looking back in. Well, actually - I probably [...]

by holli9 Oct 2008 at 11:38 pm
I feel very “in limbo” right now for some reason - and it’s been making me anxious. Life has been filled with so many happy moments, but with Tom working in DC - and us in Oklahoma… I don’t know - I guess I would just really like to know where we’ll be by the [...]

The difference.
by holli7 Oct 2008 at 3:28 pm
My baby book was lost years ago. The fragments I have of childhood include a handful of pictures and faded memories. I don’t remember anything before 2nd grade, so I’ve completely forgotten people I loved. When I had my own daughter, distance frightened me. How would my parents ever feel close to their Granddaughter? How would [...]
