Friday Night our family cheered on the Sugarland Skeeters (a minor-league baseball team that plays in another suburb close to our house). Mainly we went because the twins’ school was singing the National Anthem and the kids had been looking forward to that for a month straight. But we also went because M has been...Continue Reading
1. First of all, I love this picture. Elisabeth knows what she wants….everyone to love Jesus. And if you don’t, she’ll sing you a song about why you should.2. Yesterday I made enough Crème brûlée to feed most of France, which is about as out-of-character as Julia Child whipping up a batch of Sloppy Joes. BUT!...Continue Reading

One of Nate’s cutest idiosyncrasies is his habit of renaming his favorite things. Goggy for Daddy, Sissy for Elisabeth, Bubba for Sam, Kay Kay for Catie (and Aunt Katie), Mimi for his blankie, and boppy for his pacifier.These little language habits have all been his own idea.That’s makes his newest language tic, using the word...Continue Reading
Can we talk about prayer?In prayer God chases fear from my mind.And that’s important because here’s the thing: I can stir up some anxiety. I can cook up crazy irrational fears about what might happen one day and all the things that I can’t control and zillions of worries that aren’t even real.But when I pray, I...Continue Reading
So, if you’re still reading after that title then you’re either related to me or interested in nutrition. Or you’re just a kind friend. Because the phrase gluten-free, sugar-free doesn’t usually ignite tastebuds. Or passion. Or interest really. But when it came to my birthday I planned to make my cake and eat it too....Continue Reading
I really, really love taking pictures. Below are two that I snapped with my iPhone at a pit-stop on our family bike ride. Now, I just need to learn how to take better pictures.
