Name that Song

well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
and lightness has a call that's hard to hear
i wrap my fear around me like a blanket
i sailed my ship of safety till i sank it
i'm crawling on your shores

The first person to email me the correct answer wins a prize. Yes, I do actually send you a little somethin' somethin'. So those of you lurking and not letting yourselves be known, don't be shy. ('cause it aint the Greatful Dead, so I don't know if Candice will know it!)

Good luck. May the best blogger win.

all about my tiny girl

Curious and sweet, this little beauty keeps me on my toes. She puts on boots, coat and a backpack in the mornings all by herself as I am rushing around getting her big sister ready for school. When we head out the door to wait for the bus, there she is, ready to go. She waves goodbye as the bus carries the big kids to school, and then goes back inside with me.

She is a good eater and a great sleeper. She loves her bottle and her blankie (which has a special corner that is held as she sucks her thumb). She is very independent and has eyes that see everything. She gives huge hugs and tender kisses.
She missed her daddy while he was in the hospital and said his name constantly while he was gone. She’ll snuggle right in…unless she’s pushing you away so she can go do her own little something.


My girl. My baby. My joy.

One large pizza, half cheese, half pepperoni, and one appendix, please

Chinese New Year will never be celebrated the same for the Soucy family again. Now it commemorates a new lease on life—the fact that we’re all actually alive and kicking.

As I left, pizza box in hand and three kids in tow, I got the dreaded phone call: “They’re sending me to the emergency room…it has all the symptoms of appendicitis.”

Here I sit at the computer one week later, yet it feels much longer than that. Yes, Jake no longer has all his parts. His appendix has been removed. Several nights alone in bed with him at the hospital, hundreds of prayers, and about 20 zits later, life is resuming normalcy.

Thank you for your prayers and support, those of you who knew that we needed them. The kids and I needed them as much as Jake did. And once again miracles were performed in our behalf and faith and testimonies of Divinity have been strengthened.

So, how’ve ya’ll been?
