I don't know how to do these Jenni!!


What is a meme girls? Jenni wrote on her blog about her pregnancy and tagged me so I will attempt this meme thing and the theme is my children.


I AM: So thankful for my family, each one is an answer to prayer.

I WANT: To teach them to love the Lord

I WISH: My kids could get to know my family better

I HATE: Yelling at my kids.

I MISS: Fresh fruit and vegetables that are so plentiful in PA, and healthy for my family

I FEAR: Losing my children unexpectedly

I HEAR: My girls singing "It's raining, it's pouring"

I WONDER: What they will grow up to be?

I REGRET: Always looking ahead and not enjoying the moments and stages in life.

I AM NOT: A very organized mom.

I DANCE: When no one is around!!

I SING: My babies to sleep

I TRY: Not to complain

I CRY: When I'm tired and feeling hurt

I LAUGH: not often enough

I AM NOT ALWAYS: Very consistent in discipline

I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: Food for my family

I WRITE: In my journal sometimes, and too many lists that don't get done!

I CONFUSE: What my priorities should be, and my wants and desires

I NEED: To go to bed

I (am)FINISH(ed): Packing for the weekend

I START: my weekly Prenatal appointments in July!! Only 9 more weeks to go!

I TAG: Elise or Tish( see if I can get you to write on your blog!!)


We are going to visit Jeff's grandma Gingerich this weekend at the Farm one last time before they sell it. Here are some pictures of the last few times we were there. It will be different without Grandpa there this time. Alabama was Trevors age on this one picture.

Great post Wendy. You're kids are blessed to have you for a mommy. It's very obvious that you love your kids!

Have a good weekend. I will pray for you all. I'm sure it will be tough to say goddbye to the farm as well as to have Grandpa's death sink in. I still cry when we go to NY and Arthur's Gpa isn't there. It will be comforting to your Grandma to have someone grieve and cry with her.

great post, indeed! i enjoyed reading it a lot! i would love to hang out with you and your kids. someday, eh?

for future reference, a meme is kind of an interview of yourself for your blog. this one wouldn't have had to have had a theme, but it's all up to you!! it's for getting to know each other better. thanks for playing. :)

Yah, what IS a meme? I googled that word and got 365 million hits (I kid you not!) The first one was very enlightening..... (By the way, it rhymes with "dream").

Quote #1: "Memes are contagious ideas, all competing for a share of our mind in a kind of Darwinian selection. As memes evolve, they become better and better at distracting and diverting us from whatever we'd really like to be doing with our lives. They are a kind of Drug of the Mind.

Quote #2: "According to memetic theory, a meme — a unit of cultural information, cultural evolution or diffusion — propagates from one mind to another analogously to the way in which a gene propagates from one organism to another as a unit of genetic information and of biological evolution. Multiple memes may propagate as cooperative groups called memeplexes (meme complexes).

Biologist and evolutionary theorist Richard Dawkins coined the term meme in 1976.He gave as examples tunes, catch-phrases, beliefs, clothing fashions, ways of making pots, and the technology of building arches.

U.h.h.h, O.K. Well, let's keep evolving in the right direction, O.K? Actually, I enjoy the way you gals are choosing to use it!
