Over Christmas something happened that brought far too many giggles not to share. Dw’s big brother Steve and his wife, Diane, had sent us a monetary gift for Christmas.  It came with strict instructions:  Blow it on something fun!!   We laughed when we read the note.  They know us all too well – blowing…

So very difficult to imagine that 18 years have flown by since I birthed Graham on February 11th, 1995. I was telling Graham the other day how I would stare at him as he nursed… I could not get over how different he looked than Abigail and Emma. Square jaw.  Fair skin.  Light eyes. Blonde…

And so it was that yesterday was the official ‘send-off’ for our family – Emma moving to Africa {permanently}.

But they can say they tried. A…

Our little Finn man arrived late Friday for dinner… and can you believe it? Our three boys were getting their jammies on and Abi said,  “Mom, Finn has the EXACT same pair…” so we gathered them together…. Graham refused to put matching jammies on…. such a party-pooper kind of guy {haha} Come on Graham- get…

Ahhh, my friends.  Thank you for your gracious love and support when I revealed our blunder.  Yes, Kelly G, we are indeed very, very, very human.   We have made many mistakes over the years and although we were hoping they were all behind us, we are so thankful that God covers mistakes and His…

This year Dw and I will have celebrated  35 Christmas’ married. Every year {with only 2 exceptions – for medical reasons} we have gone to cut down our Christmas trees. The tradition is one that we can’t miss. It’s just too stinkin’ fun. This year we wandered up to Flagstaff… we’d tried to get a…
