Five More Candles…
Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice. Philippians 4:4 I am pretty sure my oldest son was seven-years-old when I posted my first-ever-blog. Seven.

And we have … Continue reading

A Mommy Moment I Almost Missed
It was just Luke and me on the playground. My older two boys had ventured with my husband to another area of the park, which left my six-year-old to his self-designed “Ninja Warrior Course” alone.
