My cousin, who is enrolled in a photography class, needed subjects for her portrait photo shoot assignment. Before we flew to Maryland, she asked if Stephen and I would mind getting some pictures taken while we were on the farm. I had been hoping and planning to get some maternity pictures, so I jumped on… Read More Maternity Photos by Laura
The look on Mom’s face was worth it. Worth the long hours in the car and the swollen feet and ankles. She came out into the living room confused as to why the dogs were barking, and then she saw Stephen. She gasped and hugged him so tightly. After the funeral in MD, we rode… Read More Indiana Surprise
Thank you for your prayers and loving arms that have embraced us as we whispered goodbye to Pop-pop last week. It is an immeasurable comfort knowing that it was not a final goodbye, but as the pastor said at the funeral, it was “until we meet again” in heaven. Stephen and I are so thankful… Read More Nearer My God To Thee
During Pop-pop’s last few weeks, it was a struggle for him to smile–let alone speak. July 28th, a week before Pop-pop passed away, was my mom’s birthday. Uncle Calvin was sitting in the dining room which they had made into Pop-pop’s bedroom. He said, “Dad, do you remember what you were doing 54 years ago… Read More “Renee”

Milestones are important because they mark the path of our lives, but better yet, they cause us to pause a minute to reflect on the past. Sunday we marked the 2nd anniversary of Crossroad Baptist Church. It was refreshing to look back on what God has done in growing His church in Verrado, AZ. Just… Read More Crossroad Baptist Turns 2!
I’m a bit late on this post, but I didn’t want to skip over Stephen’s birthday. He turned 29 on July 28th–his last year in the 20’s! I stopped by his office with a breakfast sandwich and a little birthday sign to let his co-workers know what a momentous day it was. 🙂 For dinner… Read More Celebrating Stephen
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15 My PopPop went home to be with Jesus this morning. While I and my family miss him terribly, I’m so glad he is finally healthy again. It’s easy to focus on the pain I feel at the loss of a… Read More Precious PopPop
One of Stephen’s favorite sites is thinkgeek.com. For those of you science and computer nerds who have not yet discovered it’s geeky awesomeness, please stop reading and check out the site right now! When I saw this ThinkGeek maternity shirt a few years ago, I knew it was a must-have. Stephen surprised me with it… Read More Week 25
We’re here. We’re unboxed. unpacked. settled. Whew! It took us about a month to unpack all our boxes. One of the hardest things about unpacking is having to create places for things. Not only does it require organizing, but deciding where you’ll keep things and hoping that you won’t have to reorganize after you’re done.… Read More Settled
