August and the beginning of September were absolutely amazing. We had so much going on with my sister’s wedding and the surrounding events, which was really just these last two weeks, but the anticipation and preparation made it the predominate focus of the month! Just yesterday morning I said good-bye to the last of my…
August marks both boys’ half birthdays! Cal is 18 months and Max is 3.5 years old! I thought it would be fun to share what we wrote about the boys in our Adoption Portfolio: Maxwell was born in February of 2010! He is a very curious and fun-loving three year old; wild and free! He…
The other night, praying with Max before bed I said, “Lord change and mold our hearts of stone…” Max shot his head up, with what I perceived as a look of you’re crazy mom. “Mom, mold our hearts?” “Yes, because we all are imperfect and have sinful hearts. Sin hardens our heart toward God and…
We are expecting baby #3! We’re just not sure when. The due date is questionable, as I am not carrying this child… We are adopting!

This is not my place for complaining. It is intended to be the place to recount my joy and sweet life tidbits, but I also want it to be real and not simply convey that all is well and I am a whiz at this whole motherhood, homemaking gig (which is not even remotely the case…
In the 90 degree heat, I watched as Max took off his shirt. He wrestled and when his head popped free, his face shot up with elation that could never be captured in photograph; but I could interpret the expression and his little heart immediately, I am just like daddy. He looked back and forth…
1.) I am so grateful for such sweet family and friends who call or come help when my love is away. One such lovely friend even brought flowers which have been brightening up my kitchen all week. 2.) I waited for months to get the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon from the library and upon taking…
1.) Today I am filled with gratitude for the gift of my husband and his life…HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY, ANDY! He is the most wonderful husband, incredible father, and loyal friend. I am continuously inspired by the man he is; he makes me want to be a better wife, mother, and follower of Jesus! I pray…
