The Lord is GOOD to me!
The first week that life returned to “normal” after we lost the baby, I was a total and complete disaster (to put it bluntly!). It was SO HARD to go back to “normal,” when nothing was normal! Everything was different. I buried my face in the Word and tried to fill every moment I could… Continue reading The Lord is GOOD to me!
Our Sons & Daughters
This post is dedicated to Kari McCabe :). Those of you who know me, know that I love to throw a good party. I used to be an avid crafter until, well, life got WAYYYYYY too busy for that. I still have managed to make time to throw my kids’ birthday parties and a shower… Continue reading Our Sons & Daughters
Life, Loss and Celebration
I have always been that person who has wanted to wait until it was “safe” to tell people about our pregnancies. I will tell the very, very closest, those safest to my heart right away, but I will wait to tell the rest. I have called this “my safety zone.” I’ve never been a big… Continue reading Life, Loss and Celebration
In His Shadow
What do you do? You stare at the ultra sound tech, who was gentle and quick with the news, and you ask stupid questions over and over, like, “what do you mean there’s no heart beat?” When there’s no answer that comes from her mouth, and only several unsatisfying, “I’m sorry’s,” you turn to… Continue reading In His Shadow
Our 3 Year Old Working Guy!
I will admit, I sort of dreaded March 20th this year. I am definitely a little sad that my baby boy has left the TWOS. I have LOVED watching him grow this year. Whereas when they are one I learn so much about their personalities, it is while he was two that I got to… Continue reading Our 3 Year Old Working Guy!

Or… Continue reading 8 Weeks!
An Irish Toast!
We are SO thrilled to announce we have another little life growing in my womb… Baby Trés Bien, due October 12, 2014! Why the nickname, you ask? Well, it’s just the only nickname that kept coming to mind when I found out we were pregnant. It’s baby number 3, which is where the “tres”… Continue reading An Irish Toast!
SeaWorld, Canines, and Proverbs 29:17
We had probably seen “Pets Rule!,” a captivating, delightful, and highly-entertaining show at SeaWorld at least a dozen times. Elliott has always been quite taken by dogs and animals of all sorts, and this show was FULL of them—dogs, cats, pigs, ducks, you-name-its–all moving to the beat of the music while performing incredible stunts. Perfectly trained… Continue reading SeaWorld, Canines, and Proverbs 29:17
