Thank you, one and all, for your prayers. We are FINALLY back from our trip. It was long… it was exhausting… and we had a lot of fun. The bad part was I had NO INTERNET ACCESS the entire time I was gone! Can you believe it? No email… no blogging… no checking out what’s … [Read more…]
I will miss you all, but I’ll be gone all next week. Please keep us in your prayers, and (Lord willing!) I’ll be back to tell you all about it!
…a quiet house, a hot cup of tea, access to YouTube, and a couple of fun chick flicks to watch all by yourself. Pure bliss, I tell ya.
I have been pondering for almost two months now whether or not I should blog about this. Part of me says no, but the other part of me says yes for the simple reason that I find other people’s stories of their spiritual lives… and how God is working in them… to be very uplifting … [Read more…]
Subtitled: Fun with a camera on a rainy afternoon, which turned into Daddy’s Father’s Day book. Let us introduce you to our cast of characters.

Me [coming into the kitchen after putting Grace to bed] “Oh honey! The kitchen looks wonderful! Thank you for all the cleaning up you did!” DH: “Well, this *is* your office, and you don’t have a janitorial service that comes and cleans it out like I do at work, so I thought I’d do it … [Read more…]
Well, today was our second day of homeschooling. So far, we’re doing OK. Yesterday was a bit hectic — the “newness” of it all, the jitters some felt when they realized they were a bit rusty on math, the disorganization I felt (even though I had tried to plan everything out beforehand), coupled with the … [Read more…]
#1: Never, ever, ever let the baby walk away with the cell phone. I know, this should be a no-brainer, but somehow I forgot this simple rule and now… well… I seem to be completely phone-less. Amazing how this device (which I lived most of my life without, and quite happily at that!) has become … [Read more…]
