Out of the blue, in the car last week, Jaye started talking about her baby sister. She was saying how she would hold her and play with her. I honestly told her that I wanted another baby, too. She asked, "Is there a baby in your tummy?" I told her there wasn't a baby in my tummy right now. We talked about how happy I was when God gave me Jaye as my baby and how we could pray that God would give us a baby sister. And at nap time, she prayed, "God, we want a baby sister." Which brought me to … [Read more...]
Making Friends and Gevalia Coffee
June 11, 2013 by
It's been a year since we moved to Texas (almost). That's kind of hard to believe. We've done a lot in that year, and one of the things we've really been focusing on is making new friends.

A Very Real Real Life Note
October 17, 2012 by
This is me. Today. Right now. As I'm writing this post. I'm staying at my parents house this week because Phil is out of town on a business trip. I just took a shower, and my hair's still wet. Jaye is taking a nap right now. Oh, and lip is busted. Impressively busted. Jaye did it. Which brings me to the jumping off point of what I was going to say. Jaye is not a morning person. Some days she's just so so cranky in the morning. Yesterday morning was one of those days. We were lounging around … [Read more...]
