Weekend Fun

By
    Here, as promised, is what Joel, Ransom and I have done lately.  It's short and sweet, but that counts, right?  Both Saturday and Sunday, we went to the Detroit Zoo.  Saturday was Ransom's first visit!  He snoozed through most of it, naturally.  We particularly enjoyed the new Penguinarium!  The penguins would come out of the water and interact with you (through the glass, of course) if you held something up in front of their faces.  Talk about cute!  We had a ton of fun.  I love bringing our little buddy along everywhere we go!  (By the way, our little guy just turned three months old on Sunday!)
    After Saturday's jaunt, we stopped at a game store and bought a board game called "Pandemic".  It's a fun, cooperative style game, players against the board.  We're hoping to play it with some friends soon!
     In the spirit of a tradition called "Family Night" we've been thinking about starting, and in essence have started, we will want plenty of games handy.  Joel, Ransom and I have been enjoying such time with friends from church, whose first child is only a few months older than Ransom.  It's so nice living close together!
       Enjoy the pics!
 
Here's to Fun Weekends,
Joel & Heather

Birth Story

By
  I don't know when it happened exactly, but recently Little Man has turned into this light sleeper that wakes up every time he falls asleep on someone and needs to be put down.  Now that he's finally down for a nap, I can find a few minutes to write.  I hope?! ....     Anyway, for those of you who are curious, here's how Ransom's birth story goes.  His due date was on April 13th, buuuuut this being my first pregnancy, we were expecting him to be plenty late.  So April 13th came and went, but real labor started that Saturday, the 16th.  Joel was convinced this was the real thing, but I wasn't.  Actually, hours of labor passed before I was convinced  our baby was really coming that night!     Joel was an incredible help, and we really had the best birth team ever.  Some of the things my midwife had me do surprised me.  She let me know early on that I COULD try to make myself as comfortable as possible through the...

We Miss You, Grandpa!

By
        Mixed emotions flood our home today, as it has been two years since the passing of Joel's grandpa into Glory.  Sad because we miss him.  Happy, because we know he is better and we will see him again one day.  It seemed appropriate to have Joel post a tribute in his memory.  Although I never got to meet him, I feel like I know him just a little bit; and I think I can safely say we would have gotten along great!    ***     It has been two years since Grandpa Rumminger left us for Heaven. I still miss him, and there are many things I wish we could talk about, even though I would probably go and do what I was planning anyway. Sometimes it is just good to talk to someone about what is on your mind, even though it does not really change the outcome.    I remember going on a hunting trip with Grandpa one weekend when I was in school. On the way to hunting camp we talked about something that was bothering me...

Truth for a Momma's Heart

By
    A baby.  Determined to fall asleep on Mommy, and Mommy only.  Teething, with rough nights and long days.  Precious, sleepy, and decidedly cranky.     A husband.  Desperately wanting, no, needing his wife's attention.  Wanting so much to go on a date, or play a game together.  Oftentimes hungry as he leaves the working world behind and walks over the threshold into his home.     A mom.  Exhausted, needing even a few quiet moments alone. But the baby screams.  The pile of dishes setting haphazardly on the counter screams.  The laundry, rivaling the size of Mount Everest, screams.  The garbage practically begs to be taken out and thrown into the dumpster.  Her husband, walking into the mess, graciously helps her tackle it; more often than she feels he should have to.  As she sits down to her Bible Study, learning about becoming a woman of excellence, she thinks, "Oh, the irony!".   ...
