…and when we decorate tree #1! Paul was scheduled to leave town on Friday so after our extended family had gone, we pulled out our tree and started decorating. This is our family room tree…it’s covered in ornaments that have been given or made by the children. This year, we added some of my Mama’s ornaments. There were tears and…

Apartment Kitchen and Laundry Shelves
These were actually taken a few weeks back. This house had an addition added at some point making it a duplex for the previous owner’s mother. When we moved in, we knew we would need this extra space for our family so the decision was made to remove some walls to create more flow through both sides of the house.…
Thanksgiving 2013
This has been a different year for me. Honestly, I have been dreading the holidays. Just facing these moments without Mama here, without even being able to pick up the phone and hear her on the other end has seemed like a lot. God is faithful, as always. He is the “lifter of my head”. Psalm 3:3-5 “But you, Lord,…
Posting Pictures Today
It seems like weeks since I’ve been able to post regularly. Construction, holidays, etc., etc. …they all take time which leaves little for posting here. In any case, today I’m going to try to post pictures! Now you will also be able to share in our work (which isn’t really feeling like progress right now…more like making a huge mess!).…

He Melts My Heart
…and maybe his papa’s, too.
Beach Trip
So many of you have been praying for me, praying for my family, knowing the loss we have suffered this year. March brought the news that Mama only had 1-3 years. We hoped for some miracle. We hoped there would be some other news, but each visit only brought more knowledge of the growing cancer in her body. I know…
She Cut Her Hair
I showed those photos to my grandmother. I was expecting sympathy. She laughed and laughed. I suppose we’re taking donations of hats and hairbands now. :/
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…
House Updates
So many changes. The Lord has been so good to provide us the right people, at just the right time to finish some lingering projects. When I look over these previous months, I feel humbled by His work in our lives and in our home. Here are a few quick pics from the last few weeks: Matthew supervised the little…
