It’s not too often we get a picture of “our whole family” as the girls say. But here’s a couple where no one is crying and the kids even match from the baby dedication!
Maybe they’re not perfect, but we’re having fun and this is our wonderful life!

The Stork – still a smile every time
Posted in Daniel, baby, church, little things, slings on July 14, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Ok, if you haven’t seen this before, you might not have been paying attention! I LOVE this Storchenweige wrap I got not long after Daniel was born. I used it every day for the first six months and still do so regularly, at least several times a week.
And it makes my back feel great. In [...]
What is family?
Posted in God, church, family on April 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
One of my (many, many) cousins facebooked me today asking me “What is your personal definition of ‘family?” Here’s what I told her. Just in case you wanted to know.
I think of “family” in expanding circles. First is the immediate family: dad, mom, children. Then the extended family: grandparents, grandchildren, cousins, aunts, uncles, in-laws. Families [...]
Too blessed
Posted in God, church, family, friends, pray, shadows on March 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I am feeling too blessed today. Here’s why:
My children are all healthy and happy – despite the occasional tantrum.
I live somewhere I love with the man of my dreams.
I have more than enough to eat, drink and wear.
I’ve never been without shelter.
My family is wonderful.
I have great friends.
God is building his kingdom here where I [...]
Not Me! Monday
Posted in God, Not me! Monday, church on March 2, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Not me! Monday is a refreshing-blog-carnival-reminder-by-MckMama that no one is perfect and we can all laugh at ourselves!
On Friday I did not feed my kids a lunch of just popcorn. And I certainly did not follow that with a snack of popcorn later in the afternoon!
I did not drink half a pot of coffee before church Sunday to try [...]
If you’re gonna go, go big!
Posted in Belleville, church, family, laughs on March 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »
My mom always says, “If you’re gonna go, go big.” *
So I did. I cut my hair. Which has been long for a few years. It was NOT easy to find a ”before” picture for two reasons: 1) No one takes pictures of me. 2) If they do, my long hair is always in a pony tail. [...]
The One-Year Lonelies
Posted in Belleville, MOPS, church, friends, shadows on February 1, 2009 | 2 Comments »
We moved one year ago – February 2, 2008 – to plant Landmark Church. And we unpacked, explored our neighborhood, met our neighbors, dove into work at the church.
But now. I feeling like I’ve already met many of the people who are in my “circle” – people at church, people who take their kids to [...]
Grand Opening of Landmark Church!

Wow! I am overwhelmed, tired, excited and (as always) not praying as much as I should … but Landmark Church has it’s Grand Opening tomorrow!
Josh has been very busy this week with all of the last minute details that happen no matter how much preparation you do ahead of time. It looks like it’s all [...]
Not much to say.

As many things as I’m thinking about lately – with the baby due in three weeks and Landmark Church’s grand opening in one week – I’m having trouble putting it together in complete sentences! So here’s some pictures of the girls. Enjoy!
Prayer letter
Posted in Belleville, God, church, pray on May 3, 2008 | 2 Comments »
We’re sending out (almost) monthly prayer letters with specific updates about the church plant here in Belleville. If you want to receive one please let me know and I’ll send it along. (I can do snail mail or email, if you prefer.) Prayer is our most important support while we are joining God’s work in [...]
