I’m re-posting both my status and Joshua’s- First, mine: “Paul and I have always STRONGLY encouraged our children to run for local offices. After much prayer and consideration Joshua, is officially announcing his campaign within our county. (Courtney Lambert, will also be up for re-election this year!). Please consider supporting him in the coming months with your prayers and by…

Joshua
Joshua left yesterday for The Worship of God conference in North Carolina. He is traveling with a couple of friends. Please be praying for them this weekend. Saying goodbye to my children when they travel is always difficult for me. I’ll admit, I cried as I hugged him. He is a man now. It’s hard to believe. I’m both proud…
Texting
These two keep me giggling….
roses
Joshua brought me roses this week… Yes, I love my boys. Yes, they are so good to me. Folks gawk when I tell them how many children I have…they see a number. They don’t see the innumerable blessings. Hugs, kisses, hearing “I love you” all day, watching them play, hearing them sing, having them write me little notes, and having…
bowling
Have you tried Group On? I purchased my first two Group On deals this summer. Basically, companies offer fairly good discounts on their goods and services if you purchase through the site. I had heard good things. I’m so glad I gave it a try! Our first Group On discount was for 2 hours of bowling for 4. Paul and…
Joshua and Jackson
This melts my heart… I love seeing the big boys with the smallest.
Joshua’s Annual Trip
We knew when Joshua took his new job, he would be traveling to and from California each year for the office Christmas party. He left earlier this week (Tuesday morning), and will return this next week on Friday. He has been missed in our home. I know everyone will be glad to have him back under our roof.
Baby Jackson and Joshua
There are just some days that Jackson wants his biggest brother. It’s really sweet….he can be falling apart, Joshua snuggles him up on his shoulder and he’s out!
Missing Joshua
It’s an odd thing to be missing Josh this week. I think I hear him walking through my home at times. I miss hearing his voice from his office. Everyone misses him. The older children miss visiting over lunch where they all congregate mid-day. The littles miss playing with him in the evenings. Jon sat on Sunday night to paint…
Joshua’s Trip and a Prayer Request
Well, just when I’m celebrating a small milestone (which isn’t really small at all….just for a small person…), my oldest son is flying his way to California this morning for work. (Suitcase packed and ready….) As always, I would appreciate prayer for his safety. It’s a strange thing to be spread between two seasons of life this way. While many…

November 30, 2011
Another year seems to be coming to an end, my friends. I’m humbled to see the many faces, and places that have blessed my family, and my home in the past year. I’ve been spending time this week looking through this year’s photos. There are many tiny slices of life that I so easily forget. I’m thankful to have thought…
