Sand Between Their Toes

When I think of all the places my family has travelled, all the beaches my children’s tiny toes have touched, I am in awe of all God has done.  What a precious, blessed life we live as a military family.  With this life comes sacrifice but so many other families sacrifice more than we will… Continue reading Sand Between Their Toes

Mayhem

We had a rough morning. It started out great, I was up a full hour before the kiddos, an event that doesn’t happen very often around here lately. Showered, clothed and coffee in hand I was able to fit in my devotional and catch up on jotting down some of my 1000 Things. But somewhere… Continue reading Mayhem

Bienvenue en Belgique

Wow, I can’t believe my last post was in December.  Really?  What a neglectful blogger I have been.  Sorry folks but life is speeding fast and I haven’t even been able to sit down and catch my breath until now.  Here is a recap: Christmas – We had a nice quiet Christmas at home, opening… Continue reading Bienvenue en Belgique

My Little Monkey

Almost two weeks ago my baby boy turned 2.  Joe and I still look at him everyday in awe that God gave us such a special gift. Tripp is so full of life and such a gentle soul.  He has occasional 2 year old tantrums, which last about 2 min. at most but in my… Continue reading My Little Monkey

Fall Fun

We’ve been having so much fun this fall. It’s easy to do that with a precocious almost-two-year-old. There’s been a lot of sugar involved. And costumes. Costumes should be allowed all year. Mothers love costumes.

I tie a vintage apron around his neck and he eats chocolate chips while I bake something fun.  Occasionally he will stick his finger into the bowl or… Continue reading Fun Foods

What I Know To be True

As I chased my almost two-year old at the park yesterday I thought about how pure and good he was. His little heart bursts at the seams when he sees his dad at the end of the day.  He doesn’t care that he wears shoes without a brand name or that his Mommy dressed him… Continue reading What I Know To be True

20 Months

Your closer to 2 than 1 and I can’t believe where the last almost 2 years have gone.  Everyone told me your childhood would go fast but so far your first 2 years have flown by.  I try to stop periodically throughout the day to stare at you and commit to memory the things you… Continue reading 20 Months

To My Amazing Hubby

Aside from my Father, my husband is the BEST man I know. It is simply amazing to me that God designed us to find that one special person that we look at with such adoration and love. There is nobody I would rather spend my time with, cook for, go on vacation with, hug at… Continue reading To My Amazing Hubby

Road Trip

After our visit to State College we packed up the rental car and headed on a 2.5 week road trip down south to Dothan, AL. Our first stop was Washington, DC where we got to visit with Joe’s Dad who was there on business and see our friends Scott and Donna.  Scott and Donna were… Continue reading Road Trip
