A soul that walks on water leaves no footprints, but will make waves."
I feel that I should write a new post, but I’m not sure that I have anything to write about. I’ve been reading a lot lately. I have always enjoyed reading, I don’t always feel like I have the time to do it. I just finished the book The Five Love Langu…
Four is such a great age. I am observing the transition from three to four in two little boys that are very dear to me. Tisra’s Grant has already become a big four year old and my sister Becky’s son Landis is just two months away from his fourth birthd…
It’s 7:34 in the morning here…6:34 according to my clock. I’m in Michigan and being in the Eastern time zone it’s a little later than what I feel like it should be. I’m normally up at this time anyway so that in itself is not a big deal. My problem…

It was nice to se…
Owen and I sat on the front steps this morning as Kris drove out of the neighborhood and off to work. I like to take him out there or to a window to wave goodbye to daddy for the day. After Kris was out of sight we stayed there for a little while to en…
We had Owen’s nine month pictures taken today. I’m a little disappointed in his behavior. He was not a bad little boy…he was just clingy and wouldn’t cooperate with the photographer very well. He would literally turn his back to her as much as possi…
