stop striving
I don’t know about you, but as we are over halfway through the year, my year has not looked like how I planned! As much as I love (structured) fun and love to squeeze the most out of every single day, it has felt heavy. So many prayers, so many fears, and amid the blessings…

He knows where I am part 2
We went ahead and took him to the ER Thursday, April 30, to get him admitted. That way he could work on nutrition and check his overall health. Praise the Lord that night, neurosurgery let us know they would put a shunt in the next morning. That Thursday night, we had a peaceful night eating…

in the waiting…
Hello there, sweet friends! What have you all been up to so far this month? The sun has been out more often and it’s a teensy bit warmer than it has been in months. Sunshine is good for the soul. Also, painting with water is a nice, clean activity to do outside. Raegan was super proud…

how to set yourself apart in the real world
Hello friends! Are you taking a spring break? My sisters always laugh because there are no spring breaks for “big girls” out of school! It’s tough being a big girl sometimes! It’s March and that means it’s Maddox’s birthday time! He turned one, so we enjoyed a spring break from school, ballet, and church, and…

holidays and heartaches: we are His sheep and He takes care of us
It’s Valentine’s Day, President’s Day, Mardi Gras, and so many festivities all at once! We didn’t take any days out of school, but we have been able to get outside and feel the warmth of the sunshine on our faces that we haven’t seen in a while. We all participated in making yummy food for…

follow your heart…but not actually
It’s pink and red and hearts everywhere time of year! We have been putting the hearts up at home! I love to put pink lights up the staircase banister too! It helps brighten up the darker days of winter! We celebrated Deacon’s birthday before the snow hit! He even was made a personalized birthday banner…

systems in place…it’s GO time!
It’s a new year, new you, so they say! It IS a new year! Activities start back, jobs return to normal schedules, and the slower, quieter days of winter holidays are put on hold until next year. We’ve had fun goofing off too! Here’s Linley doing the Sugar Plum Fairy and Cavalier pas de deux with…

waiting with anticipation
I could have totally done without sitting in a hospital tower, staring out the window, watching the birds and the hurried traffic on the ground downtown last week. I really could have gone without tests and waiting and worrying. Almost two weeks ago at my 20 week ultrasound, we were presented with serious concerns –…
