As we’ve worked to further organize our home (we have SUCH a long way to go!), I’ve tried to work on little areas since I’m so pregnant these days that tackling anything too big just seems overwhelming, (and then there are all the other little projects going on here). Last week, I shared my battery storage. This week, I’ll share…

We would love to have you! Message me for details.
Joshua’s Courtship
Joshua’s Courtship Life continues to move at the speed of light. Sometimes, I just want to yell “stop”. I squirm under where the Lord leads…struggling with the path He has given. (I do believe the Lord is teaching me to “count it all joy”, even in these areas.) Other times, I find myself rejoicing at how He works in the…

It Was a Year Ago, Today
One year ago today, at this moment, I was sitting in a hospital waiting room. The morning had been uneventful…well, if you count me making a wrong turn on the interstate and us ending up quite a bit late. She and I laughed pretty much all the way to the hospital. I was convinced she would never let me drive…
Battery Storage
I am constantly buying batteries. I don’t think we actually even use them much unless the power is out– somehow, every single time we need them, they are in short supply. We’ll find them later. It’s been very frustrating! This is an idea I first saw on Pinterest. I knew it would work great for our family…my issue has been…
He Has a Shiner
It was Benjamin vs. Jackson. (I’m NOT kidding.) I know every man reading this is probably snickering. Me, not so much. When Ben came and told me Jackson (ONE YEAR OLD JACKSON), hit him in the eye yesterday, he said it was hurting but it didn’t seem that bad. How hard could a 1 year old actually hit someone? Boys.
Joshua’s 20th Birthday
My oldest son is 20. My heart swells a bit when I look at this young man. I remember feeling unworthy for such a sweet blessing the night I had him. It was late. Paul was asleep in the hospital room. I just sat, completely astounded the Lord would bless me with such an awesome responsibility. I’ve often said my…
Birthday Gifts
Some time ago, we shared a birthday gift we made for the daughter (well, one of them!), of our sweet friends, the Johnson family. Another daughter celebrated a birthday this past week so we decided to make one for her: I’m fascinated by names and their meanings. It was a huge blessing to work on this project and see the…
House Updates…
Sickness slows us down, but can’t stop the progress. We still don’t have a date set for the actual appraisal, but my due date is quickly approaching so I’m trying to find a place to stop while I welcome our new little one. This week (well, actually at the end of last week), our contractor finished hanging our drywall. He…
Butterflies…
First, to the Dixon family… I’m SO sorry for buying this for your little one’s birthday. I had NO idea the butterflies themselves would be an additional expense. That was disappointing. I had also ordered one for Benjamin for Christmas. He received his caterpillars in the mail a few weeks back. I had no idea they would arrive so quickly,…
We’re Here…
I’m posting updates to this page, from the last few days, in the next few posts. We are still under-the-weather. I think Jess and I are the ones still coughing quite a bit. I will be SO glad not to cough. It’s amazing how you take your everyday health for granted. I am thankful for very good friends who have…
