Saturday Snapshots

by Alison on July 31, 2010

Our days have been busy, with busier days ahead- if that can even be possible.  Well, I’ve looked at my calendar, it is possible. Summer is flying by way too fast. I woke this morning to our Gracie singing “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”. I kid you not.  I put a stop to [...]

It’s Popsicle Time!

by Alison on July 27, 2010

I’m not usually a huge fan of sweets, or of sugar in general, so when we enjoy some camping (or even a little pseudo-camping), making and eating S’mores is a seriously special treat for our family!

The Due Date That Wasn’t

by Alison on July 21, 2010

Yesterday would’ve been my due date. I’ve had time to grieve and I’ve had time to heal.  I did grieve and I did heal, God is so good that way, well, He’s good in every way, but you know what I mean.  The thing with healing from loss, at least for me, is that it [...]
