Here’s a picture from one morning the girls were enjoying each other’s company!
I am really enjoying how they interact and play recently: lots of hugs, often ending in them on the floor wrestling! reading books together, having picnics and tea parties in the playroom and kitchen, making brownies in the play kitchen, digging in the [...]

You know, if you’re a parent, that many things are the same every day - no matter if it’s your birthday, a national holiday, or a personal crisis day. So was this Mother’s Day. But I do have two sweet girls, who give me so much joy, especially when I remember to look past the [...]

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 Republic [...]

Last night as I’m tucking Kate into bed:
Kate: Lay by me, Mama.
Mama: O.K.
K: Say something.
M: What do you want me to say?
K: Pray.
M: You want to pray?
K: No, you pray.
M: Do you want to hold my hand while I pray?
K: Yes. (taking my hand)
So I prayed, she listened, said Amen, let go of my hand [...]

Ok, so it’s not a new perfume.
But Knaub N°5 will arrive in mid October much to all our delight! You can watch the pregnancy progress on the little “ticker” on the right side of this page. (Not that babies ever arrive quite when you expect them!)
The mama is pretty sick to her stomach, so the husband [...]

Hello! Wow, it’s been WAY too long since I posted - especially since I read/check many on my blogroll every day! Like most of you have more time than I do!
Anyway, I’m going to start with a story from yesterday (I think it was yesterday…):
I walk into my bedroom where Josh is finishing a diaper [...]

We really are moving this Saturday! (Feb. 2 starting at 8:30 a.m. in Seward and hoping to be in Belleville by 2 p.m. for anyone local!)
So I’m trying to get organized and figure out how not to pack things that my girls need to use, play with and eat.
I’m very excited, we all [...]

Jesus is just as important in January as on December 25, so Merry Christmas all this year! I am packing boxes (and feeding the girls, playing, doing dishes, washing clothes, sweeping, wiping runny noses from the flu we got for Christmas) because we have a house to rent in Belleville! We don’t have the address [...]

To all who were waiting to hear - We are going to Kansas!! Josh was called as a church planter in Belleville, KS. The church plant is not very big yet, but God wants His kingdom to grow in Belleville - and everywhere - and we are excited to see that happen. We will move [...]

We live in Seward, NE (as we have for the past two years). Josh works his computer job in our basement and Abbie tries to keep control of the chaos upstairs. Katelyn is 2 1/2 and loves to crunch leaves and dig in the dirt outside, and cook, shop and tickle Megan indoors. Megan is [...]
