We are going to be HOME for Christmas this year! This is the first Christmas that my boys will ever remember being home. So I decided to do something a little different. I decided that we would make our own ornaments for the tree this year. We made gingerbread cookies, dried orange/lemon slices, and we [...]

We said Goodbye to a dear friend today. Roscoe had been with us for almost sixteen years! He showed up on our doorstep as a tiny puppy the night we got home from our honeymoon. God’s little wedding present. The boys helped us pick out a burial spot this morning and then they even helped [...]

Samuel got new glasses finally! He lost them in late June. He has been wearing his older pair until he found them. He said he took them off in the goat yard. What!??? I could not believe that he thought that is where he had them last. We searched but didn’t find them so I [...]

This post is in memory of my beloved grandmother. She passed away Saturday August 8, 2010. She would have been 98 next month. My grandmother was a wonderful person who knew what she believed and to Whom she belonged. She had a deep passion for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and I am sure [...]

Wow, it has been a crazy week and a half. A week ago Monday I came down with what I thought was a stomach bug. By Wednesday I was still unable to hold anything down so my family took me to the emergency room, if for no other reason than to get some fluids because [...]
