Dear God… Will these two always be friends? Will they call each other on their birthday? Will they get together to celebrate? Will they like each other’s spouses? Will they hug each other when they see each other? Will they know how much they hugged as four-year-olds? If possible, that would be really good if...Continue Reading
God gave us a beautiful Easter Sunday to celebrate the beautiful resurrection of His beautiful Son! Here’s a beautiful girl, hunting eggs among the beautiful trees with our beautiful friends in the neighborhood. As you can see, I’m out of words tonight. With a Sunday deadline of an online devotional (eight years and counting I’ve...Continue Reading
Happy Holy Saturday! My folks are here for Easter, and we’ve had such a restful couple of days. Nate took a four-hour nap yesterday! The kids played by themselves for hour(s?) outside. M took all the kids for a bike ride that stretched for most of the morning. Today, I hope you also rest, content...Continue Reading
With an Easter party and early dismissal for the twins, our Easter weekend has started around here. Is there anything HAPPIER than these four kiddos laughing on a slide? Today, this totally does it for me. I hope it makes you smile too.Continue Reading
So, Sam has a tic. Actually, I should say that Sam has HAD a tic for a few months now. I think I posted about it before, when we made the huge mistake of taking him to the eye doctor. She said, “My four-year-old did that. NEVER MENTION IT!” But that’s hard. He does this...Continue Reading

This Bible study has really been fun to write. I love Bible research. I love the opportunity it provided for women to be in the Word....Continue Reading
Happy Birthday for those born on March 29! Over the years some of my best friends have shared this birthday. Other people I love were born on the 29th of other months. October, for example. Then Catie on August 29th. When we chose Nate’s C-section date for July 29th we chose the 29th as a...Continue Reading
The boys were going for an Emergency Vehicle Theme. And by “the boys” I mean Sam since Nate is still in his crib. Really, Sam’s vision worked well. His “two-story” Kura bed was the perfect fire truck height. Which, by little-brother-default, meant Nate got a police car bed. When Nate is old enough, we’ll flip...Continue Reading
After several trips to IKEA and months of building and painting and decorating, the kids’ rooms are done. And so is M. He’s done with building and painting and IKEAing. But the whole project was so fun, and I’m so excited to share the finished product! Here’s the girls Pink and Green Garden room. We’ve...Continue Reading
Less than 5 percent of the world’s population has a gap between their two front teeth. Lots of people who have diastema correct it with braces. But, in the past decade or so, the media had dubbed a gap-toothed smile (on Nate, top, and my dad, bottom) the “perfect imperfection” because it adds character and...Continue Reading
