I don’t know what made me think of this recently (talking with another mom about antibiotics, maybe?), but I’m wondering if any of you have ever experienced severe allergic reactions in your kids (or yourself) before. ‘Cause we certainly have around here. And because I like to document significant Diehl family history, I thought [...]

First of all, let me say that I love Luke just the way he is, and I’d only change one thing about him if I could: his birthdate. Seriously, what were we thinking??? I mean, this was very much a planned pregnancy, and I never once gave any thought about what conceiving a [...]

Seven. I almost can’t wrap my brain around that. (For a little trip back in time, here’s five and six.)
Happy birthday to the boy who made me a mom. Every minute of this day seven years ago is etched in my mind forever. I love you, Luke!
(birthday recap coming soon!)
P.S. You’ll be [...]

This is taken from a page in Hannah’s book…I enjoyed her list over the weekend, and I’m feeling like my head is full of randomness today as well, so here goes.

You know I love Compassion International.
To me, the most powerful testimonies for why this program works is to hear from adults who were sponsored as a child, and what it meant to them. I recently read Peninah’s story; it’s so moving. Being involved with Compassion rescued her from a certain horrible future, as [...]

Luke, to Bennett, who’d just dropped half a banana on the floor: “Well quick pick it up! Three second rule!”

I told Bennett that he was going to the fire station for a field trip with his preschool class. His response? “That is TOTALLY WICKED!” (He got that from “The Incredibles.”)

What a fun night! Halloween* has become one of the nights of the year I most look forward to with our kids…it’s just such a fun evening for all of us, and we get to enjoy it with neighbors and my family, too.
The night started off like this:
But it got much, much better.
We had [...]

We discovered Luke’s first loose tooth several months ago…probably in early spring. It got pretty wiggly in June, and Matt and I predicted it would be out by the 4th of July.
Fast forward to one week ago, when the tooth was still. in. his. mouth. And while it had gotten much looser, and [...]

One of the first posts I ever wrote on my blog was about how pumpkin carving started mysteriously falling under my responsibility. In my house growing up, my dad took care of this, so I assumed that Matt would be the one pulling guts out of pumpkins, but noooo. The last three years [...]
