I’ve read a lot of parenting books in the last year. The clear standout is the new book by Elyse Fitzpatrick: Give Them Grace: Dazzling Your Kids with the Love of Jesus. The basic premise is that our parenting needs to be saturated with the gospel. If we say that The Gospel is central to […]
Tricycle, Tricycle, go so fast!
We were blessed to be able to buy Loopy something we’ve been wanting to get him for a long time. A tricycle with a push bar for our poor aching backs and foot rests for him until his legs get longer and he can do it on his own. It’s so nice to get out […]

Loopy’s Birth Story

I’ve been seeing these awesome colored beads all over pinterest. I thought they would be a lot of fun to play with either as a sensory experience or coupled with a light table. I found these in the floral section at Walmart for $2 a pack. I barely used a third of them, and look […]
