vacation 2015 {AKA picture dump}
Last week, we vacated our place and exchanged it for the beach. It was completely due to the kindness of friends. And I kinda think God had something to do with it too. When we walked into our “home for the week” I kept pointing out special things to the kids: “See this awesome kitchen?…

on missions trips, roller coasters, and life
There is no place like home. Even if it looks like a wreck. We got home last Sunday night from almost 3 straight weeks of traveling. First, to Kentucky for 2 weeks of Jonathan’s classes and then to Tennessee {with our teens} to help a church plant with their community outreach. The trips went well.…

our {picture heavy!} weekend
Hi there! How was your Easter weekend? I don’t know about y’all, but our weather here in the south was a-ma-zing. Rather windy + chilly on Saturday, but really amazing other than that!

you don’t have to understand
Before my kids take a nap, I usually read at least 1 story to them. Sometimes it’s Curious George or Madeline. Sometimes it’s a few chapters out of Proverbs. Lately, I’ve been reading some stories out of this Bible story book. We’ve already gone through it a couple times for our evening devotions, so the stories…

grace. and more grace.
Summers are our busy season. Due to Jonathan’s job as youth pastor, we are able to take kids to camp, lead teens on missions trip, and be heavily involved in our church’s summer outreach for kids. It’s seriously awesome! Like anything, though, it also has parts that are difficult. Like the part where we leave our…

gift ideas for the lady in your life
This week was my birthday {read: way too many calories have been consumed}. For the past couple weeks, my husband has been asking me what sort of gift/s I would like. And so I made a list of ideas that he could choose from {so there would still be an element of surprise}. I had quite…

So, in normal fashion, I did it in the afternoon – perfect timing, of course….hottest part of the day, right before naptime…I’m brilliant, I tell you. My kids were incredible troopers and we managed to get some cute shots.…
