This past week was monumental for our family.
Each of the 4 kids started something new, which left Brenden and me alone for the first Wednesday night in years.
Abby began our church’s youth group program: Pulse.
We are thrilled with our youth pastor and the program that our church offers for our youth group.
And Abby was a [...]

I was such a diligent blogger in June.
I really worked hard to post something regularly.
But then July came…and it brought a bit of chaos with it.
So what have we been up to?
The biggest thing was Brenden’s mission trip to Kenya. What an amazing opportunity he had to walk with the sweet people of Karima, Kenya, [...]

will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers (or in our case – cousins).

The weekly yard work is another one of those tasks [...]

It is summertime.
It is exceedingly hot.
Hotter than normal.
Hotter than August should be.
And yet, as it often is with children in the summer, we spend many hours a day outside.
We’ve been swimming, playing, bouncing, hiking.
We have picnicked, done yard work.
We have laughed, sweat, cried, whined…(the heat has made the children uncomfortable too!)
We have been thirsty.
I went [...]
