Please read Kristen Howerton’s blog post–link to the right and also here. She was in Haiti during the earthquake and continues there amidst the devastation, trying to find a way out. We know there is a possible missionary cargo flight she could take today, but it would take God’s hand to guide her through the […]
This was day #2 of “mattress in the living room” fun. Carson would stand at the laundry room door and run to do a somersault on the mattress. Sydney would mimic Carson. I was trying desperately to get a pic of them standing side-by-side at the door, b/c I thought it was cute. As usual, […]
This is a totally random video, but very “day in the life” if you will. Our neighbors gave us a barely used twin mattress that we plan to switch with Carson’s rather old mattress. It’s been in the garage for a few days, but Trent thought it would be fun to bring it into the […]
Now that I have everyone’s attention! Here’s a Carsonism, fresh from this morning. You see, Carson has been potty trained for over a year and a half, but still doesn’t wake himself up in the night to use the restroom, so he wears pull-ups to bed.

No one can deny that it feels good to be wanted. To be loved. To have people care about you, pay attention to you, want to be around you. We’d love to walk into a room and have a group of people shout our name, a la NORM on Cheers. But, I’m here to report […]

Me: Carson! You need to be QUIET!Carson: Mom, that’s just who I am. People NEED TO BE who they are.*Carson, playing with new little kitchen, pretend-sipping a cup:“Aaaah. This is a good cup of joe.”*“Dad, I want Mommy to read books to me. I love mommy, ‘cuz she’s a girl. I just LUV girls. Love, […]
Oi! We had a crazy 4 day stretch of Christmas, from the Christmas Eve services to an extended family extravaganza yesterday. It was a marathon of fun, food, family and I feel completely overwhelmed with how blessed we are. The easiest way to demonstrate that is with the piles of presents we came home with, […]
Glory to the newborn King! Much love to all our friends & family today as we celebrate Jesus’ birthday!
I love traditions! Maybe because I come from a sappy, sentimental, love-dovey family–and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I love that my dad prays before we open gifts, that my mom makes cinnamon rolls for breakfast and minestrone soup for lunch. I love how when anyone in my family gets a BIG gift, […]
