To those of you who I couldn’t send one to in the mail. . . Merry Christmas from the Chase Family!

Making it day by day around here–thank goodness we have a break and have daddy home in just a few days.  I think we are all on the edge of insanity . . .  I pray that I can remember the reason that I have to be so joyful this season!  And that I can […]

Today was perfect.  Today was great.  Today was the first time in I don’t know how long that we didn’t have something on our calendar.  Today we spent some quality time together, which rarely happens in the hustle and bustle of our lives.   Remember this post from last year?  We’ve been trying to take […]

This is what keeps me housebound and miserable. . . a foot of snow in twelve hours.  Boo!  For all you snow lovers–you are beyond crazy!

When this family showed up and I took one look at the little girl’s outfit, I longed for my very own daughter!. . . cute little striped tights and fancy sweaters.  Little pink barrettes and jean skirts.  Someday. . . someday!  I hope 🙂
