Drum roll, please… I finally picked and edited some photos to share from Angie and George’s Wedding Weekend! It is such a joy looking through the pictures from the weekend that flew past too fast. My other sister, Sarah, was amazing and created a Shutterfly event page for everyone in the family to share and…
Happy Monday and a VERY Happy FALL, ya’ll! As you know, because I recently shared the Winding When & How We Met, Andy and I celebrated our 5th Wedding Anniversary on September 14th! Unfortunately, the day of, we had to cancel our plans due to sick kids. We hunkered down at home, recreated one of…
I remember the first evening we were home with Max and settling in, Andy encouraged me to take a quick nap because the baby was sleeping on my brother-in-law, who was busy falling in love with him. Everything was under control. I settled into my bed and immediately… BURST INTO TEARS! It was literally the…
Our preschool year started out a little bedraggled. I planned to start on Tuesday, September 3rd. That did not happen. Revamp. We planned to start Tuesday, Sept. 10th.

Every month, Modern Mrs. Darcy hosts a Twitterature Link-up, “a place to share short, casual reviews of books…” Plenty of awesome recommendations and reviews!

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…
Last week Deuteronomy 31 gave me an incredible peace in Praying against Fear in Adoption. If you are struggling with any number of circumstances, I encourage you to meditate on this passage a while, or maybe read what it has offered me to get you started: Moses is telling the people of Israel that he…
As I’ve mentioned, we celebrated my sister’s wedding this past weekend! The day was stunningly beautiful and now we are left in the bittersweet haze of the celebration being over, family and friends leaving town, and settling back into our daily routine at home. There are thousands of photos and I cannot wait to weed through…
Angie and George are getting married this weekend! Angie is my sister and George is my (very) soon-to-be brother-in-law! Here they are at their bachelor/bachellorette party! And this was just last night at their Rehearsal dinner (which was amazing and I cannot wait to share more next week)! We have tons of family in…
