The Holmes Happenings: A is for Art
http://thelifeofaholmes.blogspot.com/2011/04/is-for-art.html
Friday, April 22, 2011. A is for Art. Yesterday Trey and I began what I hope will add quite a bit of creativity and fun to our dating life. Not to make our dating life sound boring (I'm thankful we still go on dates! Enter the ABC's of dating. I can't take full credit for this idea. I read about it in an article in Home Life, a Lifeway magazine our church subscribes to. *Side note, this is an excellent magazine that Trey and I highly recommend. A: Dallas Museum of Art, 4/21/11. Because he had broken a na...

The Holmes Happenings: How We Got Here
http://thelifeofaholmes.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-we-got-here.html
Monday, May 12, 2014. How We Got Here. That was a time of intense grief but also intense closeness to the Lord. We leaned on Him in ways we could not have understood had we not experienced these losses. Several months later we moved to our current home, hopeful and waiting for our next positive pregnancy test. We decided we wanted to adopt a baby, and it is easier to adopt a baby by fostering first. There is also the higher chance of having to give the baby back, but that was a situation we were will...

The Holmes Happenings: D is for Dreams
http://thelifeofaholmes.blogspot.com/2011/07/d-is-for-dreams.html
Saturday, July 2, 2011. D is for Dreams. D: Dream Date, 7/1/11. We went on our first date without Kate! Trey's sweet mom watched Kate for us and sent us off for a couple of hours. The "D" date was mine to plan, and I've actually had this idea for a while. I read a book by Ted Cunningham and Gary Smalley called Great Parents, Lousy Lovers. Highly recommend it, by the way! GrandMary and Kate did not move from this position the entire time we were gone! Our pic before heading out on our date :). Enjoying my...

The Holmes Happenings: "Trick or Treating" with Raggedy Anne
http://thelifeofaholmes.blogspot.com/2012/11/trick-or-treating-with-raggedy-anne.html
Monday, November 26, 2012. Trick or Treating" with Raggedy Anne. The above picture is of Kate and me last Halloween. She was almost 5 months old there. I was a strawberry farmer, and she, of course, was the best strawberry I'd picked all year! Below is me with my darling girl this year, almost 17 months old. I cannot believe how much she has changed in one year. As I've said before, it breaks my heart and fills it with joy all at the same time. I want to just eat her up!

Friday, May 13, 2011. B is for Breakfast. B: Breakfast, Battleship, and the Box Office, 5/9/11. If you're wondering what this is all about, read here. This past Monday morning, Trey and I went on our second ABC date. It was my turn to plan. I chose to take Trey to b. Trey sitting there with childlike excitement, waiting to play Battleship! I look a little sleepy, but it's OK! And just in case you're wondering, I did win :). We saw the movie Thor, which is a comic book movie. I have never known much a...

The Holmes Happenings: Fostering Broken Treasures
http://thelifeofaholmes.blogspot.com/2014/05/fostering-broken-treasures.html
Wednesday, May 7, 2014. It was supposed to be the first routine visit with his conservatorship caseworker. Trey came home from work at 1:30 so he could also meet the man who would be walking this journey with us. Chad had been in our home for two weeks at this point, and we had settled into a comfortable routine as a family of four. We were so content and thankful. We had been told by more than one official that Chad would be in our home for at least 6 months, but more likely up to a year. Impossible, ou...

The Holmes Happenings: Mission Night
http://thelifeofaholmes.blogspot.com/2012/12/mission-night.html
Tuesday, December 18, 2012. I read a great book recently by Sally Clarkson called "The Mission of Motherhood." It is a very challenging and encouraging book for moms, especially stay at home moms. She also has many good ideas for creative ways to teach and model godly living into your home. One idea I really liked was having a mission night. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Holmes Happenings: G is for Galaxies
http://thelifeofaholmes.blogspot.com/2011/11/g-is-for-galaxies.html
Thursday, November 3, 2011. G is for Galaxies. If you're wondering what this is all about, visit here. To start at the beginning! G: G is for Galaxies, 10/29/11. The great thing about this date is that it was free.or, at least it was intended to be free. After leaving our house with Kate all snug in her bed, we both decided we had the munchies, so we drove through McDonald's. Hey, that's what dates are for, right? It was fun to take a little jaunt out and do something we've never done before together.
