Well, I think it may be about time to return… but slowly it will be, I’m sure. Life feels somewhat back to normal, although what is normal now? Normal will now be different for the rest of my life. Normal will still include the loss of my baby boy and a day doesn’t go by that I don’t think about him. Continue reading “Return”

A Glorious Easter to You!
I originally intended to post this on Easter Sunday and then completely forgot. It was written and ready to post… I didn’t want to scrap it and thought it was still good to share; even though it is quite a bit after Easter.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the here and now; To be overwhelmed or underwhelmed with life and all it has to offer or all it has to loose. Life is hard and it can seem like a dark and hopeless place, full of sorrow, trial, difficulty and work. And I’m sorry to say… but it is. However,… if we didn’t have hard times, if we didn’t have loss, if we didn’t have sorrow, if we didn’t have needs why would we need a Savior. This world would be the best place there is, utopia, and there wouldn’t be a need for anything better. Continue reading “A Glorious Easter to You!”
A Temporary Pause
It has been a few weeks since I’ve posted and blogging at the moment has not been much in my thoughts during that time. I actually forgot about it for a bit. That said, my heart really isn’t in it’s usual place. What I find fascinating and excited to share with you isn’t as exciting at the moment. Continue reading “A Temporary Pause”
Family Christmas Letter 2014
Dear friends and family,
Each year I start a letter to send out and never get it completed. I also usually have a photo to attach and even that doesn’t get sent out. I plan on sending it via email, even though it’s much more fun to get mail… so this year I’m starting earlier than normal and REALLY hoping it actually gets sent! Continue reading “Family Christmas Letter 2014”
Merry Christmas!
May God richly bless your Christmas Day! May your celebration be very special and enjoyed with family and friends. Remember the reason for celebrating… that by the miraculous virgin birth of Christ Jesus and His death and resurrection we now have an everlasting hope. Hope that pervades our days, provides rest for our nights and strength for each new day and year.
May God richly bless you!
Taking a short break from blogging and will see you in the new year! Blessing to you and your family!
Christmas Craft Ideas
Each year I make a decent number of Christmas gifts. Some years are more elaborate than others and sometimes everyone gets something handmade and other years just a few people. Sometimes I make a huge variety of items and some years it’s just a lot of one or two ideas. Continue reading “Christmas Craft Ideas”
Happy Thanksgiving
I just wanted to post a short and sweet note to wish you a special day filled with joy, thankfulness and family!
I know some of you may not be able to spend the day with loved ones who are far away or who are no long with you in this world. As Believers we can be thankful that one day… on That Day… we will meet again. Those loved ones will be in our arms and embraces once again!
I pray that your day is special and filled with joy!
CSA Week #18
Sorry not much to say this week. I was out of town to visit my Dad’s side of the family in FL for a long weekend. I wish it was for happier times, but my grandfather passed away last month and we were having a memorial for him. I took Xanthie with me and the other kiddos stayed at home with Papa. He had a lot of fun things planned for them, but unfortunately they got the stomach bug so I don’t think they even left the house. Continue reading “CSA Week #18”
CSA Week #17
This week my update will be a little shorter and maybe a little sweeter! 😉 Since our delivery came a day later than usual it’s kinda thrown off my schedule. I usually type up this email once the boxes have arrived and we get to see what’s inside! Continue reading “CSA Week #17”
Family Photos {2014}
It’s high time we have our family photos updated! The photos we had done in 2012 are quite outdated and we’ve had a new addition since then… in fact, that addition came 13 months ago!
Of course we had the privilege to have our photos done with the talented Alyssa Anne. It’s such a treat to have her document our family over the years and see such beauty in her work. I’m always surprised at how amazing her photos are and how much I love EVERY photo! She does such an amazing job of capturing our family, who we are and how we role!
Enjoy some updated photos and visit her bog to see more of her work!
Please Note: Do not reproduce or use these photos with out giving Alyssa Anne credit for them. Also please do not enter them in any photo contest before contacting her and asking her permission. Thank you.
