Open Wide

Sometimes people wonder what a large family looks like on a daily basis.   Does volume mean chaos? Doesn’t have to.   Thankfully. And no, I did not have any one pose for the picture.   {I just jumped up and snapped my cell phone.}  Today I had to take Elijah for a dentist appointment …

The Journey Begins…

Yesterday we loaded up {12 suitcases, plus carry-on stuff} to begin the journey to Africa. I confess it was stinkin’ hard to leave my wailing kids and that sweet hubby of mine on crutches.  The little guys have been really clingy and telling me how much they are going to miss me.  It has been…

In fact, the other day we were talking about God….
