Hidden Art by Edith Schaeffer (the wife of theologian Francis Schaeffer) is one of my newest favorite books. I’d love to buy a copy for every newly wed bride I know…and then some. I don’t even remember how I stumbled across the book, but I ordered it in the early months of this year and […]
this week has been so crazy…(i feel like i say that every week, but its true)… but as i sit here in my terribly messy house sniffling and thanking God that the baby finally went back to sleep, i have to admit – it’s been a really great crazy week! i mean, in the middle […]

Auntie Sky came to visit today…:) We had a load of fun… We played ball and played with Pooh… {and tried to eat him too.} We walked and talked and tickled and cuddled… I so wanted to eat her glasses… and there might have been a bit of hair-pulling… …but we had a really great […]
We celebrated Kaya’s 6 month “birthday” last week. I can’t believe how much has happened in six months. Our lives have been transformed and my baby girl is so different that she was when we first brought her home at the end of January. This sense of awe of time passing and my sweet baby […]
