She’s here & we’re home! (phone pic…) Faith Anna (we finally decided on a name!) was born at 5:08 yesterday morning (3/30). She is just perfect and so precious, and we are abounding in thankfulness, (as well as sleepiness). She weighed in at 9 lbs. 2 oz. and measured 22″, and believe it or not, [...]

My waiting continues, today marks 40 weeks and 3 days. I was tempted to stay home from church yesterday, honestly, I was. I always go past my due date, and people always try to make conversation with questions like, “No baby yet?”, “Still pregnant, eh?”, “Getting anxious for baby yet?” I know they mean well, [...]

The beans!” for the current toddler and/or preschooler once or twice a month for the past couple years now. Keeping it [...]

It’s been a season… A long winter. A long trimester. Spring is here.* Sometime very soon, a new baby will be here.** I am tempted to complain, and all too often give in to that fleshly temptation- I am a work in progress. I’m tired. I’m achy.
