Happy Birthday to Me
Yes, you read that right, but it’s really not my birthday. It’s my husband’s. But I feel like it’s my birthday because he is my gift. I grow more and more in awe of how gracious God has been to give Eric to me, and despite the fact that we’ve only been [...]
Happy Anniversary, Love
(Have you heard that Phil Keaggy song?)
Yesterday was our anniversary. We just returned from a wonderful anniversary trip to Asheville, NC while Big Daddy and Grammy kept the kids. We attended a great marriage conference put on by the folks at Ridgecrest and Winning at Home, which we enjoyed so much. [...]
Emilyweek ‘08!
Last year I flavored up my blog with a series of posts about my friend Emily’s visit with her kids to town to see us. It was such a great trip, and this past week we had another “Emilyweek” at our house! Actually it wasn’t at our house because we stayed at the [...]
Best I’ve EVER Had
This is not because I’m pregnant!
I just had the best ice cream ever. No kidding. Who knew it would come from Walgreens? I was there to pick up some photos the other day, and I saw the sale sign and decided to get some. Eric doesn’t like chocolate, but [...]

Prince Charming
My prince charming finished painting the bonus room the other night, and it looks beautiful! What do you think about the ORANGE?!
The kids and I spent the entire morning playing in there today as we read books (in the completed “book nook!”), watched a movie, and just enjoyed playing together. I even folded three [...]
Reflections on the Second-Greatest Gift
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities–all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things [...]
Nanny’s Child
After several weeks of delay, I am attempting to put together my thoughts for myself and for you concerning our Nanny who went to be with the Lord in December. I hope you got acquainted a bit with Papa, and now I trust you will enjoy personal memories or delight in an another’s recollection of [...]
Happy Birthday
Today we celebrated my dad’s birthday (I’ll be nice - but he’s over 50 now)! He’s so young! I’m up in SC with my children, and we have had a restful and fun week. Tonight we ate taco soup and sang “happy birthday” to “Papa,” and it was so good to be together. We were [...]
