Mini Van Miracle

Have you ever felt like there were just so many things going on that you could not handle that one extra, very small in comparison, little thing. In a future blog we can fill you in the chaos that has been our life lately. That is why the following story should not be a big [...]

Ode to Baby Wise

As I sit hear in the quiet after my sweet child cried for twenty minutes after 45 minutes into his morning nap I continue to keep the long view in mind.   Mike and I have participated in “parent directed feeding” since Elliot’s birth. (For more info read Babywise by the Ezzo’s). It seems that people [...]

Signs That Spring is Here

What I missed most about living in Florida for five years was the change of seasons. I especially love Spring. Now that Stephanie, Elliot and I are living in Georgia, we get to experience a little taste of the seasons (nothing like growing up in Chicago, but it’ll do for now).
The weather has [...]

Praying More

I’ve found myself praying more lately. I guess you could say that this is a good thing and a bad thing. Its obviously a good thing because prayer helps to deepen the relationship that I have with God. We’re talking a lot more often these days, and I would say that I [...]

Elliot & Kathryn

Here is a cute little video that Christi, our good friend from church made of Elliot and her daughter Kathryn. Christi is looking after Elliot a couple of days a week while Stephanie is at work, and she has a daughter a week younger than Elliot. They are so cute together!

My Haven

It is amazing that I could live in a home for 5 months and not know that I had a beautiful lake less than 1/4 from my house.  I guess I have a little excuse for being unaware of my surroundings, his name is Elliot.   Today Elliot and I went out for a walk and [...]

E^2

We took so many pictures over the last couple of days that needed to be shared, so I decided to do a couple of posts back to back to back.  The first set is of our visit with Ethan, Amy, and Emelyn Pitsch.  They came up from Orlando to Augusta on their way to Columbia [...]

It’s Official (Finally)

Well, you may not have known it, but I didn’t officially graduate from RTS back in May. I “walked” as they say, but my diploma holder was empty. I had one measly credit left to take. I took a class this summer to complete my courseload, and guess what came in [...]

Gypsies?

Recently Mike and I went out for a much needed date. It was a great surprise. I walked into Elliot’s nursery to change him and found a new top from White House, Black market (my favorite store) lying on the changing table. Mike had decided to take me out for a classic dinner and a [...]
