A soul that walks on water leaves no footprints, but will make waves."
Yesterday morning I went out and got some pictures of a few things growing behind the house. Freshly planted forsythia bush and two blueberry bushes that went in the ground on Saturday mainly. I traveled down the hill (steep, wet grass and flip flops…
This past weekend we drove to Michigan for a wedding.
A wedding that just a scant 7 months ago, we thought might not happen.
My brother, who wandered for a few years, who dabbled, who threw out, who turned away, who scoffed and even argued at time…
There was a silence that left my stomach in a bit of a knot after hearing those words come out of my four year old yesterday.

She had experts come check all her clocks,
“Match the rhythm!” she said,
And she wouldn’t go to bed
Until none of their ticks fell on tocks.
I taught our Wednesday night class last night and it went well. But getting there was tough.
I got to church late, which normally wouldn’t be a big deal, but the reason we go early is for Owen’s FUSE team rehearsal. I had forgotten my teaching no…
The boys are off to school and I haven’t left the house. My neighbor has a kindergartner at the same school as our little men, so we have begun carpooling today. Both of our kindergartners are showing enough independence to walk into class on their ow…
