VERTICALLY CHALLENGED: we ran away...
http://mare-z.blogspot.com/2014/09/we-ran-away.html
Thursday, September 18, 2014. Lake placid, ny 2014. It was my 50th birthday, and our 13th anniversary weekend. we hadn't been away without the kiddos for about two years. i just couldn't let another year go by without snatching my dearest love away (even though he was secretly planning a bash for my birthday). We missed our boys, but chatted with them frequently. i think it was good for them to spend time away from us as well. absence makes the heart grow fonder? Our room with a view. Due to nice weather.

VERTICALLY CHALLENGED: the rest of the story...
http://mare-z.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-rest-of-story.html
Wednesday, May 27, 2015. The rest of the story. So for four years, i wore a back brace. something that looked very similar to this one. I had to wear a thin t-shirt underneath so it wouldn't rub on my skin. i didn't have any long enough, so i remember my mom cut off the sleeves and neck of my dad's t-shirts. my clothes barely fit over the brace. the only thing that showed when i was dressed was the neck piece. When i returned to school, i got many stares. a few kids would step aside and whisper. ...I kep...

Team Carmichael: Welcome Tissa Margaret Diane!
http://teamcarmichael.blogspot.com/2011/05/welcome-tissa-margaret-diane.html
Friday, May 6, 2011. Welcome Tissa Margaret Diane! We were blessed with the arrival of Tissa Margaret Diane on May 5th at 10:54 am. She weighs 8 lbs. 10 oz and is 22 inches long. She was born into the presence of just her Dad and Mom as the midwife did not make it in time as she was over 2 hours away. When Chad called one of our friends to let them know, she sent over her 18 year old daughter to take care of the girls and prepare meals. She was a life saver! I hope you enjoy the pictures! It is only by G...

Sunday, August 15, 2010. Dara's Birthday- Turning 10! I know I'm a little slow on putting up pictures of Dara's birthday parties, but here they are. I can't believe I now have a 10 year old. Am I old enough to have a 10 year old? She wanted a Prince Caspian birthday party. This is my try at making Aslan's How with Prince Caspian and one of his "men" ready for battle. It was very hot and humid that day so neither the cake nor the frosting was "cooperating". Dara in her birthday dress with her cake. It is ...

Friday, May 7, 2010. Eva's Birthday and Baptism and Mother's Day Gifts. My beautiful birthday girl! Eva wanted to do her own decorations for her party so she drew flowers and laid them out on the tables. She did an excellent job! We gave our mother's they Mother's Day presents early so they wouldn't buy one of their own! We gave them copies of our church's new cookbook. They both loved them. Eva received a customized lock box from Grandpa Jerry and Grandma Sherry! Getting ready to blow out her candle!

VERTICALLY CHALLENGED: have heart...
http://mare-z.blogspot.com/2015/01/have-heart.html
Monday, January 5, 2015. Today marked the first monday of the year. the day that the mcmonkeys returned to school, the handsome hubby returned to work, and the first day alone for me after spending the last two full weeks together. You know, that 'noise' that's around your home when you have littles at home with you. Which brings me to the one word that i've chosen to bring me through this new year. Heart = the wellspring of life. For me, the heart is where all life and love begins. My Life With Boys.

VERTICALLY CHALLENGED: when your child doesn't fit in...
http://mare-z.blogspot.com/2012/05/when-your-child-doesnt-fit-in.html
Thursday, May 3, 2012. When your child doesn't fit in. This is a subject near and dear to my heart. My nine year old son came home from school last week very downcast and solemn. When I prodded him to tell me what was wrong, he admitted that a group of boys at school didn't think he was " cool. I'm not cool,' he said. I asked him what makes boys cool. He said that he wasn't fast enough and the boys never picked him to be on their team during recess. Be cool in my book. Below is a blog post. Because we ar...
