We went to the OB yesterday and found out that I am immune to the Fifths Disease virus, which means I most likely caught the virus as a child. I do have memories of doctors thinking that I had it a long time ago, and today I am so very grateful for that. Our OBs… Continue reading Good news again

Sisters are especially good for this…
I appreciate those people in my life who help keep me honest. I got home after a long day of meetings for Servant Partners, and after picking my kids up and making our way back home, I met up with a dear friend for some prayer time in preparation for her wedding. When I finally… Continue reading Sisters are especially good for this…
Random happenings in the Haub house
The kids and I missed church again this week: Aaron was a snot factory (as I like to call it) and I can’t bear to bring my kids to the nursery when they are like that. I see other moms and dads do it, and it almost always means that later in the week we… Continue reading Random happenings in the Haub house
Tell us how you really feel about your naps right now, Mercy…
“Mercy, it’s time to get ready for your night-night.” “I don’t want to do ANYTHING but NOT take a night-night!”
Our newest neighbor
This past week, we noticed a busy little hummingbird outside of the kids’ room windows. The hummingbirds usually buzz around the palm trees, but this one seemed intent on visiting the strand of porch lights. At some point, we realized he/she was building a nest, and we decided that his/her name was Sam. I just… Continue reading Our newest neighbor
Good enough

As an organization, they do significant work in the lives of youth in their community, ranging from tutoring and mentoring to leadership development and discipleship. They are… Continue reading Good enough
Mercy of the flowers
Little Mercy pulled of the (potentially) impossible on Saturday: she was a flower girl for our good friends, Masaki and Grace, as they celebrated their wedding at a spectacular venue overlooking the ocean. Mercy was pretty as a princess in her fancy dress, and her daddy choked back tears more than once as he watched… Continue reading Mercy of the flowers

I most definitely have a two-year old. A good friend called a bit ago and offered to come over and help me take the kids outside to play. I asked him if he would accompany us to the library, as I am quite desperate for new books for the kids. He agreed and so we… Continue reading 2

Saturday night, our phone rang and it was my sister on the line: “Can you guys turn on the T.V. and see if they are reporting anything about our neighborhood right now?” She was calling from her van where she was parked in front of her house, with two kids and a carload of groceries… Continue reading One more
Healing
We went to see our OB this morning, and we were once again reassured that everything looks fine with our baby. I am less sore and a bit more functional today, and we received the wonderful surprise last night of Doug’s mom coming from Oregon to spend a few days with us to help out.… Continue reading Healing
