I LOVE the fact that we all live so close (except for a super duper Aunt EJ and the husband’s sister’s lovely family).
In this 20 Days of Thanks, I knew I would mention our fabulous fam. But this year it seems like I am even more thankful for their close proximity AND love. With our [...]

I was greatly disappointed during my first pregnancy when the technician at the sonogram announced that there was only one child. I had my heart set on having twins.
Five months after giving birth to our bouncing (huge) baby boy, I discovered that I was pregnant again. I so feared that I was carrying twins. That [...]

I have one simple thing to proclaim tonight!
If you are a single mother, GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU!
The husband has been away and I just don’t function well without him. It is hard doing this parenting thing alone. Oh my word! It was totally different when I didn’t work and he was away. But now? Now I [...]

I love games.
Just not ones that require a lot of thought, especially after a long day of teaching.
But being the good mom -the mom who is determined NOT to let stress get the best of her during this crazy week-I told the Lad to choose a game.
He chose Scrabble.
His words?
narc, drone, canna
He is so his dad.
I [...]

That is how I would describe my emotions right now. In fact, I was so sick of my emotions and feelings tonight that I ended up crying all through worship. Not like me. Not at all.
You could say I am numb. Or changed. Or confused. Or faithful. Or scared. Or disappointed. Or excited.
Or ALL of the [...]

For those of you who do not know Spanish, museo means museum. And please don’t think I knew that word before today either.
This morning the husband and I had some time to ourselves here in Guatemala City. We decided to be cultural and go to the local archeology museum. I was a bit shocked that [...]

This is our team. Three went to work and three of us went to supervise not work. The husband, our pastor, and I worked a wee bit (not really) but our purpose on this trip was to make some final decisions and meet with folks about starting the children’s home. Can you pick out the [...]

Have I mentioned how brilliant my husband is? Well, in case I haven´t, you must know that he is. I am thankful to have somebody with me in this foreign country that speaks the language FLUENTY. It really comes in handy. I love to travel to other lands but I prefer taking my husband along [...]
