Hands and Feet

As Dw and Emmy leave with the team this week-end I was able to have most of today off from responsibility.  I went and sat with an ice tea at a local coffee shop reading my Bible. I was pondering a dream I had last night {and no, I don’t understand yet what it meant}…but…

The Final Chapter

Yesterday Dw, the kids, the dogs and I packed up to head to Colorado. We barely stopped and had a lot of fun laughing and reminiscing.   A sweet trip over all. Little Miss Ruby did wonderful and was awake  {with the exception of a 20 minute nap} the entire trip. We are checking her…

ABC – News 15

While Dw and Emmy and the GO Team were in Africa  I received a phone call. “Would you be willing to have a news crew come to your home and interview and tell your story about the impact the Phoenix Children’s Hospital has had on your lives?”  We are always eager to give God the…

The PERFECT Wedding Dress…

A day we weren’t sure would ever take place…. BUT God. Always faithful! We just had to begin with a little celebration of something sweet and cold! Six sisters {Autumn, Emma, Liberty, Jubilee, Elizabeth and Ruby} a mom-in-love-to-be  {Vicki} a little ol’ grandma {my mom}  Savannah  {was visiting and was able to join the fun}…
