Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted [...]
As a new mommy of 3 I find myself on quite the emotional rollercoaster. I don’t know if it is that 3 is much more difficult than 2, or that starting with a toddler is much more difficult than a newborn, or that helping an adoptive child work through her grieving is emotionally and physically [...]
So yesterday, somewhere in between Norah coughing so hard during the night that she threw up, and last night when her whole body was trembling as a result of her fever, we had some awesome moments. Since Norah was sick we stayed home from church and had an important lesson about how we can worship [...]

Conversations from playtime with mommy the other night… Norah: Mommy, let me get my measure so I can check your head……it’s pretty big. Mommy: How big is it? Norah: Twenty oh five. Emily: Here Mommy you need to watch my baby for me, I need to go to work. Mommy: Oh, what do you do [...]
