We are at camp this week! Josh and I (and Daniel) brought four high schoolers to Camp Rock this week for a mission trip. The kids are serving as dorm leaders, helpers and VBS teachers. I am mostly supporting the high schoolers, helping where ever I can and taking care of Daniel.
It is so fun [...]

A Tiny Sunrise
Posted in Belleville, God, friends, little things, pray on June 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
When I woke up this morning, I noticed two things:
First, it was quiet except for the birds singing – usually I’m woken by a crying baby or a hungry toddler.
Second, I could see small rectangle of blue sky with pink streaks through the open front door. I blinked sleepily, enjoying the luxury of lingering in bed, [...]
Do I do that?
Posted in God, Megan, pray on April 12, 2009 | 1 Comment »
We’ve been hearing about God’s work in Exodus recently in church. I’ve been reading it at home, too, and read this from chapter 6:
(God told Moses to tell the Isrealites this.)
“I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to [...]
Today I’m thankful for:
The early morning snuggler who often finds her way to our bed.
The pure joy in my baby’s face when he sees me or his sisters or his daddy.
My husband cooking supper when I all did was thaw the meat.
That most of the time, the appropriate amount of TP is used.
That I can [...]
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 [...]
Some days I think this girl is almost fourteen instead of four.
Kate is every bit as pensive as this picture. She often talks about things that happened months ago and things that might happen.
“Someday, Mama, can I ride on a camel?”
“Someday, Mama, can I feed a carrot to a bunny?”
“I’m not going to tell you, [...]
A crazy night

Good thing not all nights are like this:
8:30 – to bed early
11 – Daniel wakes up and nurses, back to bed by 11:30
12:30 – Meg wakes up crying , back to bed by 1
1:15 – Kate wakes up wet, back to bed by 1:45
3 – Daniel wakes up, back to sleep with the pacifier
4:30 – [...]

Join the fun – with your own imperfection or just to read about others – at MckMama’s blog carnival Not Me! Monday!
I did not squirt hand lotion onto my hands when starting to wash them in the bathroom sink and then spend several seconds wondering why the soap wasn’t lathering.
I did not stay up way past [...]
25 Random Things About Me
Posted in Abbie, Daniel, God, baby, breastfeeding, house, pray on January 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Well, here’s to all of you that included me in notes on facebook and on blogs – I think there’s more than 25 of you!
I have three first cousins on my dad’s side. And I thank God for you.
I have thirty-eight first cousins on my mom’s side (not counting spouses, kids, boyfriends). I think. I [...]
Recent craft-y-ness
Posted in MOPS, craftiness, pray on January 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’ve always liked to make things with my hands – I remember an origami kick in third grade where I made any piece of paper I could get my hands on into a paper crane, pig or whale!
Or on long car trips I would “finger knit” or “finger crochet” and end up with yards and [...]
