Selah trots into 4 year old land!

Well, we tried to keep it simple this year and therefore brought two ponies to our house for Selah’s 4th birthday! #palmtoforehead #itried #ilovecelebrating!!!!! Sometime you’ll have to ask me how the story unraveled, but I’ll just say somewhere in the middle of the story Selah became unwavering in her conviction about wanting an animal… Continue reading Selah trots into 4 year old land!

Summer of ’16

Re-live our summer with us through pictures! The Pueblo Zoo also held another first for us…our sweet Selah got stung by a bee for the very first time…TWICE! I know that’s not technically possible…we think it must have gotten stuck under her skort, tried to sting her once but didn’t get its stinger out and… Continue reading Summer of ’16

New Mercies Monday: Another Year

I’m not used to my kids being able to… Continue reading Elliott is FOUR!!

The Lord is GOOD to me!

Our lil' fam

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!
