If we have no peace it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. Mother Teresa I was out for my run earlier and reached a point in my route where I needed to cross the street and turn around. I noticed there was a woman walking on that side, so to …
Happy Saturday! There have been so many changes happening all at once over here- and to be honest it’s all a little overwhelming. From Elijah’s birth, Theresa’s surgery, Gabriel starting KINDERGARTEN (this one has been a big change for me this week) and Rebecca 4 year old preschool, to a seasonal change to Fall, I …
I stared at the empty space on our wall where his picture would be, wondering what he would look like, yet also in disbelief that soon we would have another newborn. Those that have been following along with me here know that I suffered a miscarriage right before getting pregnant with Elijah. And while I …
How many times have you had a bad day and had someone tell you to “think positive” or “look on the bright side”? And how annoyed has that made you? While I’m sure that person was trying to help you change your perspective and feel better, maybe it wasn’t the right time to suggest it, …
Happy Thursday! It has been a mix of feeling like a long week, but also I can’t believe it is Thursday already. I look forward to the weekends so when one finally comes along, it’s a relief, but I also don’t want it to go by too quickly. I know I have said it before …

Happy New Year! In some ways it felt like 2021 lasted forever (especially the first 7.5 months…I’ll go into this more) but then the end of the year flew by. Reflection on 2021 I wrote a post at the beginning of the year last year with my word of the year I had received on …
Happy Monday! I can’t believe another week is here. I feel like I have been going 100 miles a minute recently, and I don’t see any slowing down in the near future. Things here are staying busy between regular school schedules, doctor appointments (and have I mentioned doctor appointments? There have been so many recently!), …
Happy Thursday! What a week This has been a week for us. It started off good. My brother, who I haven’t seen in a few years came to visit! He was able to come with us to a fall festival with the kids and spend the night before he had to go back home to …
Pregnancy #5 We found out about a month ago that we were expecting our 5th baby. We were not planning on another one yet, but were so excited when we found out. I have always wanted 5 kids (I am the second oldest of 5 kids). When we found out we used a pregnancy calculator …
