The McGregor Clan: Thomas is dead.
http://mcgregorsrus.blogspot.com/2015/08/thomas-is-dead.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. I was driving home from work on Friday afternoon. I had picked the kids up from mama's and it had been one heck of a day at the hospital. It was a full moon and it was one of those days that seemed to be one hiccup after another. But, I had survived and was ready to spend some quality time with the kiddos and John. Did you know Thomas is in heaven? Over and over and over. I then realize that James is crying and screaming, "Don't talk about my brother! You don't know him! Insert a ...

The McGregor Clan: November 2014
http://mcgregorsrus.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2014. Although, slow moving, I have felt agitated and restless. I am aware that I have not been the most fun person to live with over the last month. I'm not sure what I need, but I am hunting for it and can't seem to find it. That's why I haven't written. I haven't had any particular words to share, so silence is the only alternative. I've been asked multiple times in the last few weeks, "Are you okay? The Three Amigos (Alana's BFF's). Our November family date was a trip to Opryland...

The McGregor Clan: April 2015
http://mcgregorsrus.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. I have mentioned before that my parents are 'keepers of old things.' The older I get, the more I realize I have inherited some. Of their tendencies. No comments from the peanut gallery. :). When I became pregnant with Alana, I knew I wanted to use THE CRIB. It was the crib that I had used as a baby and subsequently Paul had used. It was wrapped oh so carefully in the garage. My mom. What did she want to use with her grandchildren? Paul at 34 years of age. Alana is 9 1/2. These k...

The McGregor Clan: February 2015
http://mcgregorsrus.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 28, 2015. Some days you just want to take pictures. This is birthday week around here. Tomorrow's is Kacy's birthday (she turns 29 again! And Tuesday is John's. When the boys woke me up at 5:55 this morning. Yes, 5:55 AM on a Saturday. If you are reading this and through the little kid stage, aren't you jealous? I attempted to put them back to bed and it lasted about 20 minutes. That's when you give up, raise your hands to the heavens and yell, "Coffee! This girl loves her Auntie Kacy.

The McGregor Clan: Calm Submissive
http://mcgregorsrus.blogspot.com/2015/08/calm-submissive.html
Saturday, August 15, 2015. It's Saturday night and I am plum wore out. I am watching When Harry Met Sally, one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time. Sitting in my PJ's, waiting on Alana to get home from a friend's house. Hats off to you my educator friends! I could not do it. I titled this post "Calm Submissive." This is a state of mind and body that the Dog Whisperer. It's like the whole house has felt transition and change, so everybody has been on edge and a bit nuts. As long as I stay alpha,...

The McGregor Clan: Long days and Lake days
http://mcgregorsrus.blogspot.com/2015/07/long-days-and-lake-days.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Long days and Lake days. It's been a long day. I have somehow managed to lose two sets of car keys. I don't want to talk about it. Maybe one day I will blog about this day. But, at this moment I am depressed and tearful. Actually, the day was fine. Things got rough around 4:30 this afternoon. Again, I don't want to talk about it. Let's look at some lake pictures. A mere five days ago, I was floating on a lake, riding in a boat, and deepening my tan lines. This was my post. A fam...

The McGregor Clan: January 2015
http://mcgregorsrus.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 26, 2015. From the Backseat; Jamesy boy. In our house, telling stories is a big deal. With so many people trying to talk, it's hard to get your whole story told at one sitting without being interrupted. Some times the stories are real. Some times they are filled with imagination and chivalrous behavior.(ie-bad guys get punched in the face). This was out of the blue, from the backseat:. James- "Mama, can I tell you a story? Me- "Yes, James. Tell me a story.". James- "He looked like my brot...

Say It With Love – Paper Heart Garland
http://www.happyclippings.com/2011/01/say-it-with-love-paper-heart-garland.html
Say It With Love – Paper Heart Garland. January 27, 2011. Last week I showed you how I made 3D paper hearts to frame. This week I’m working with hearts and paper again but this time in the form of a garland. ( UPD (1/18/12). Check out my latest Valentine’s Day project – A Heart Tree Art. 8211; The background paper matches this garland.). Recently, I’ve seen some amazing paper heart garlands. Some made with book pages. And others with magazine pages. Some are pretty hearts sewn together. Cut paper into st...

The McGregor Clan: June 2015
http://mcgregorsrus.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 25, 2015. If you have been a long time reader of the blog, you know there have been a few occasions that John posted something. I would like him post again , but he hasn't volunteered so I will wait. I don't really know his thoughts on Father's Day. We tried to make him feel special and loved, but with all holidays there are twinges of sadness wrapped in with all that goodness. Friends for almost 20 years. Sometimes, you just want to put your head on one of those cut out bodies. Sunday was...
