Introducing our newest family member, Joseph! The OR scale was off, so he was approximately 7 lbs 3 oz and 19 1/2″ long. The picture doesn’t do him justice.

I think that’s one of the most inspirational financial success stories I’ve heard in quite some time! Many congratulations to MMM and her family!!! Over at Grocery Shrinks, there is a great link to … [Read more…]
I am thankful for our baby #8 who will be making his grand entrance sometime soon — I really and truly am. But may I just say that I’m more than a bit unsettled that this little man has NO WHERE to go? I’m not kidding. He’s going to be in our bedroom until… I … [Read more…]
