Franklins in the Big Easy: April 2009
http://franklinsinthebigeasy.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2009. The Best Day Yet! I love how God changes my mindset sometimes! Today, I woke up very early after having a less than a peaceful evening. Jordan took a long time to go to sleep last night, and just when I thought we had that "put to bed" no pun intended - JP started waking up! He woke up crying several times throughout the night. So I woke up this morning with heavy eyes - totally not ready to "take on the day". Does this sort of thing really get to happen? Sunday, April 26, 2009.

Franklins in the Big Easy: Hang Time with Daddy
http://franklinsinthebigeasy.blogspot.com/2010/07/hang-time-with-daddy.html
Thursday, July 15, 2010. Hang Time with Daddy. I love that my husband is a Pastor! I love that he puts God first in his life. I love that we can share our faith together. There are some parts of his job that indeed are difficult and are not always comfortable. but one of my favorite things about his job is that we can go up to "Daddy's Office" and John can love on his kids - even if just for a moment. What do you think. Preacher or Music Minister - which one is in his future? A Mommy can dream right?

Franklins in the Big Easy: They really do love each other!
http://franklinsinthebigeasy.blogspot.com/2010/08/they-really-do-love-each-other.html
Monday, August 2, 2010. They really do love each other! I came downstairs Sunday morning to find my children together! Sharing a chair and watching a movie! I ran as fast as I could to find my camera - I didn't care about the lighting, or the staging - I didn't want to miss documenting the fact that they really do love each other! In fact, after I took the picture - they asked if they could stay there for a few minutes longer before getting ready for church! They shared a chair, space, and time together!

Monday, August 16, 2010. School Normal - 1st Day of 1st Grade. Yesterday as we were driving around as a family. getting those last minute school things. Jordan mentioned that she was ready for things to get back to normal. Then I think she realized that things had been pretty normal for the past 3 months - so she corrected her statement and clarified by saying, "Well at least our "school normal"." I liked this - SCHOOL NORMAL. Today is the 1st Day of 1st Grade! Monday, August 2, 2010. Don't miss these be...

Franklins in the Big Easy: Another Wonderful Year @ Grandmother & Papa Camp!
http://franklinsinthebigeasy.blogspot.com/2010/06/another-wonderful-year-grandmother-papa.html
Thursday, June 24, 2010. Another Wonderful Year @ Grandmother and Papa Camp! Last week the kids were at "Grandmother and Papa Camp" - and the theme this year was "God's Top Ten! All week long they learned Bible verses, camp songs and created crafts all centered around The Ten Commandments! It was nice to know that they were enjoying time with their cousins and learning great Biblical truths from their grandparents at the same time! All the while, John and I were off in Colorado relaxing in the mountains!

Franklins in the Big Easy: March 2010
http://franklinsinthebigeasy.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 11, 2010. We had a great time at our first Mardi Gras in New Orleans! We went to 2 parades - Endymion and Bacchus. They were fabulous! And I even finally understood why we had to have a ladder and that as crazy as it sounds - it's actually pretty cool to put your kids up in a box on top of a ladder along the sidewalk! The kids, while yawning - kept saying - "Get me something cool Mommy! And "Throw me somethin' Mista! I'm actually looking forward to next year! A really fun tree @ Bacchus!

Franklins in the Big Easy: May 2010
http://franklinsinthebigeasy.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 20, 2010. Where did the time go? Okay, Okay - everyone keeps telling me that these days of small children are just going to fly by! Sometimes I'm not so sure they are right. But this morning as I'm remembering the day Jordan was born - 6 years ago today - I feel exactly that! I remember every detail of that day as if it happened yesterday! And then I blink and she's 6 years old, asking me questions about songs on the radio and what makes a car work (oh my! Saturday, May 15, 2010. Either way...

Franklins in the Big Easy: June 2009
http://franklinsinthebigeasy.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 21, 2009. Our church youth group went to camp with StudentLife in Orange Beach, Al. John went to visit them on Monday night and he let us come with him! We had a blast! Jordan has been so excited to see the beach again ever since we left Houston. If she loved Galveston you know that she was thrilled with Orange Beach! They loved staying in the hotel and playing in the sand and yes - even loved the hotel pool. Thank you John for letting us have a little family getaway! Friday, June 12, 2009.

Franklins in the Big Easy: Lordy Lordy! Looks who's 40!!!!
http://franklinsinthebigeasy.blogspot.com/2010/07/lordy-lordy-looks-whos-40.html
Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Today is John's birthday! I can't believe he's 40! We both feel so young! Of course our 2 children - Jordan (6) and JP (3) definitely contribute to this feeling - but it still feels strange to say, "we're in our 40's! I turn 40 in just 3 small months). We have a really fun day planned if it would just stop raining! I will definitely post more about this momentous day when it's over - but I just wanted to start the day blogging about the love of my life! He holds me when I cry.
