The Good and The Bad

Not to suggest that Elisabeth is good and Sam is bad…but the picture worked to summarize the colonoscopy/endoscopy and my feelings about them. And really, with this kind of subject matter, a picture of these two cute twins is about the best you could hope for in a visual aid.AND Elisabeth dressed as some kind...

Days Like This…

Don’t let the smiley Nate in this picture fool you…it has been A DAY.And it’s only noon.Once in a while, on days like this, Nate gets caught up in a vicious cycle. He’s grumpy and a little hungry and bit tired.But, because he’s grumpy, he doesn’t WANT to eat anything I suggest. So, he does...

And the fact they were the only two boys in their Pre-K 3 class. And they both enjoy making silly sounds. And laughing, in general.And, really,...

Portraits of Wellness

Today it’s not the kids’ wellness, but mine. (The kids seem to be well, in case that’s why you stopped by. Thanks for asking. You probably don’t want to read the rest of this post. It’s kind of a grumpy one. And gross.).Sooo…back to my wellness. Thanks to the Lord’s healing through prayer at Serenity...

Questions of a Virus

So, Sam is home again today. For those keeping track, this makes eight days of sick kids. Their tummies and my heart have had just about more than we can all handle.Oh, nebulous virus, why did you have to come and stay at our house? Why did you have to infect our bowels? (Doubly why...
