Happy Easter from Our Home to Yours

Happy Easter from our Home to Yours… Part of our family is together celebrating the resurrection of Christ today. Abi and her three sons came from San Francisco {Ryan had to work}  came to surprise my parents who are visiting from Buffalo. Abi hadn’t seen my parents  in years and none of their three little…

He Will Do This

Since this is Good Friday,  it seems like the absolutely best day ever  to tell a very powerful story of  something that happened just the other day. It’s so easy in the hubbub of Easter week-end to barely stop to remember who HE is, let alone what He did,  what He does and  just how powerful…

Around the Corner

Yesterday as Dw and I were talking about a current  situation we have been walking through, suddenly the Lord brought this story to mind. So I reminded that sweet man of mine about it  and in recounting the story again we both were greatly encouraged. It is so good to tell each other the stories…

We Could Use Your Help

There’s about to be a gathering together  of a sweet pile of precious gems…. and these little gems are going to be  in need of some very fun therapy tools… Mind you, this is definitely not my area of expertise,  however, being Ruby’s mommy I am learning a few terms from her therapies  and some…

 It was a long week. A really, really, really long week. So this is a first for me, I think.  I have a question for you guys. We have recently painted our kitchen a soft taupe color with our white updated cabinets, which Dw totally did {and did a dang-tootin beautiful job, I might add}….

Crazy Love in Action

Inside the letter was a check for $22.50. The letter said, “Dear Linny, My friend Faith and I did a face painting  fundraiser to raise money…

One Missing Paper

The freshest of stories… and oh-so-wonderful to see God’s hand  up close and personal, always at work in our lives… Because although God never changes and His promises are the same yesterday, today and forever, somehow we so easily forget that part. But really, if He worked miracles 2,000 years ago… Why is it we…

It’s His 8th One

When he joined,  we secretly hoped the four years would quickly pass and home he would come. And somewhere in there someone in the know told  Dw and I “it will get easier with each depl*yment”. Those words are actually the farthest  from the truth, this being his 8th one, trust me in this… there…
