Elijah William
Last night I was single-mama putting the the three kiddos to bed while Doug was at Fuller remembering how to do Greek Exegesis. It was getting late and Elijah, who is typically my very easy little guy at bedtime, simply could not settle down and go to sleep. After all the normal bedtime routines of… Continue reading Elijah William
A rose by any other name…
Sorry for the long bout of silence here. I was in a minor car accident with the boys that left me pretty sore for a couple of weeks, and in the midst of recovering from that we all came down with the lovely H1N1 virus.

The night was a far cry from the Kenwood war zone we encountered during our first Fourth of July in… Continue reading Holiday
She’s right
Driving home the other day, I passed by the fire station while a crew of firefighters were in some form of training involving a bunch of wrecked cars. It was kind of a spectacle and I shared about it with my kids when we drove past the location later that same day. I pointed out… Continue reading She’s right
Seven Years
I snuck Doug away to the Salish Lodge for our anniversary thanks to parents and friends willing to care for the little ones. It was a total splurge and worth every penny.
