YES! They were all home. I was in my p.j.’s, feeding Owen and in walked Joshua. It made my day. It was this time last year, that my mama passed. That thought never leaves me now. I thought of her in heaven. I do wish she could see my family all together, but I know she would never want to…
Good Friends
This week has brought many blessings. One I was particularly looking forward to was a visit from a good friend. She brought a couple of her children and stayed for a while. We haven’t visited in quite some time. It was nice to sit and catch up. I shared all of our latest happenings, and *our new little blessing*. She…
Adjusting to New Baby and New Job
Jacob’s new job seems to be going very well. He likes the men he is working with and he likes the work. I guess that is a good thing. He comes home very tired each day but is always happy to be up and facing the next new morning. It’s a blessing to like the job you do! Please keep…
Benjamin and LEGOS
Ben is always building something new. This is his latest LEGO creation: …and of course, with red and white ninjas. You MUST have ninjas, right?!

One Year Ago…

Jacob’s New Job
I think I mentioned Jacob has a new job. He is still working a 12 hour shift at the Taco Bell on Saturday, but his new Monday-Friday position is as an electrician apprentice. He started Monday. School starts for him next week. He looks older to me this week….
Owen Elias
I’ve not posted many photos from Owen’s birth. Something little (like having a newborn, helping one son buy a house while setting up a second for his new job, FIL having open-heart surgery, and closing Mama’s final affairs, etc.), has kept me from having time to keep posting. Such is life sometimes. In any case…these are photos from baby day.…
Weather Updates
Thank you for the prayer, dear friends! The Lord spared us any real damage. There are so many who have lost much over the past two days. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
House Hunting
It’s been a strange experience- helping Joshua look for a home of his own. I love him and I want him to be happy, and have a family of his own. The other part of me knows I’m going to miss him horribly. The days of my entire family being under one roof are soon to be over. After several…
