Love of a Child

See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! –1 John 3:1 This past weekend, after much anticipation, I met my new nephew, Liam. This 7 pound squirming little human made my heart happier than I can ever remember. He slept in my arms…

Who Is She?

Over the past few months I have been the source of some pretty intense nightmares for Isaac. On more than once occasion I have sat up in my sleep and started talking about an unnamed woman. I will say things like “how did she get down there? How did she get so far under there?”…

The Day After A Baby

Feel Great

One of my all-time favorite commercials has got to be the “I Feel Great” Nutri-Grain ad. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and look it up.

“The Bug” is Graduating

This month my youngest sister, Katy, is graduating from high school. I cannot believe it! If this makes me feel old I can only imagine how old my parents must be feeling! In the same week Katy graduates my oldest sister will be having her first child. Talk about life changes!  Katy was the cutest…
