Usually, people joyfully anticipate the birth of their children. But not me. This was not my first rodeo. My first child had rocked my world. (You NEED to read that story first so that this part two will have more weight to it. But since I know some of you are rebels, let […]
Family Update: Spring ’14
Spring has been good to us here in Texas! This post may contain affiliate links that help support my family. Read more about that here. Loopy loves to bounce and throw things. He’s constant motion and noise. He’s very serious about music, directing the whole family what “instruments” they should play and how we should dance […]
Lumpy’s Birth Story (for all those birth junkies out there)
(This was written days after Lumpy was born. Forgive any typos, I was/am sleep deprived.) www.photosbylei.com With Loopy, I started labor 5 days before my due date, so I was expecting to have Lumpy a couple days before my due date; April 26th. Well that didn’t happen. But in the wee hours of the morning […]
Family Update: Lumpy’s Here!
Well, I’ve been away from the blog world for awhile. Mostly because I can’t bare to take my eyes off our new arrival. Lumpy is already six months old and the most common word I use to describe him is “jolly”. Alright, alright, “huge” is the most used word, but “jolly” is a close second. […]

Did we mention Owen is gonna be a big brother in April??? He’s pretty excited about it. So are we. My […]
Family Update: Uncles are the Best!
Tim came to visit earlier this month. He’s one of the greatest blessings in my life. He’s always been an example to me of loving the Lord. He’s also the goofiest kid I know. I see a lot of him in Owen. 🙂
Family Update: Our Ferris Bueller Day!
When a day starts out like this, you know it’s gonna be fun. Owen and I decided to play hookie from our responsibilities today with Andy’s blessing. First we hit up story time at the library. It was packed! I couldn’t believe how well Owen paid attention and didn’t cause any scenes. We’ll be back. […]
Family Update
Just a quick update of our latest fun times in Austin… Owen loves helping me on the computer. Owen’s new apron for crafts and gardening. Looks like a Home Depot dude. 🙂 We got the wonderful opportunity to go the Oasis Restaurant on Lake Travis with some friends from our small group back in Chicago […]
