A year ago

Cayden one year ago!

Deacon one year ago!
My boys have both changed so much this year!  I can’t even begin to imagine what the next year holds for these two boys!  I pray that they will welcome home their new brother and sister this year!

fun with friends

Yesterday we headed over to Joey & Courtney’s for burgers. My friend Amy (who lives in TX and I’ve been friends with since 9th grade) and her hubby John are in town to visit them. All of our kids had so much fun playing together. The night ended with fireworks and [...]

one step closer

I was outside with Carson a few minutes ago and I heard a loud truck around the corner and I wondered if it was THE fedex that I was looking for. Then I didn’t see it and so I realized it wasn’t THE fedex truck I was hoping it was.
Then I heard it again [...]
