Happy Birthday to my amazing, funny, wickedly talented, godly, beautiful sister-in-law, Becke’. I didn’t have a sister growing up. It would have been fun to have one, but God has blessed me with a great sister-in-law who shares many of the same passions and loves that I do. The need for a sister has been […]

On Saturday night, our family got to witness the beauty of adoption firsthand. My dearest and oldest friend, Lindsey and her family welcomed a new addition in a most special way. Lindsey’s sister, Laura, and her husband, Luke, brought home their daughter from Ethiopia. Meet Zemma. Isn’t she yummy? All I can think about when […]

This weekend has been full of time together. Blessed, sweet, down time together. We’ve done things like: Hit the baseball…with our eyes closed. Worn our soccer shirt because we’re sad soccer is over.

I got to The Grand Inquisitor twice and my mind almost exploded and both times I put it down for several months before trying again. The third time I read it, I quit trying to figure it out and just enjoyed […]

Landon took me by the hand the other day and led me into the dining room (which is used as the arts and crafts room these days) and showed me this: “Baby. Boo-Boo,” he said, eyes big. “I do dat.” Then he grinned, turned and walked out of the room. Every time I walk in […]

This post is going to be a random conglomerate. Landon got his permanent cast on yesterday. He picked a fiery red cast. They decided to cast him all the way up above his elbow even though the fracture was in his wrist. Otherwise he might be able to pull the cast off. I saw the […]

Alternately titled: Those Third-Born’s Are Gonna Get the Attention Any Way They Can… Sloan is the vivacious first born. Tia is the only girl. Landon is the third born who gets left behind a lot. So he has to make a name for himself in this world. One way he’s done that? Being the first […]
