Living far from grandparents means that our kids don’t get much one-on-one time with our parents. Because we want to foster a bond between the kids and their grandparents, we’ve sent each of them back to Indiana to hang out with Grammy, Grampy, and the fam. Cooper led the way, and then Silas took a… Read More Brynn’s Indiana Adventure
Silas flew off to Hoosier-land this summer where my 7 year old boy transformed into a mature 12 year old in just one week. Time with family seems to do that–and it’s fun to watch. Stephen dropped Silas off, and left him to bask in all the family time and attention. Dad loves to golf… Read More Silas’ Indiana Adventure
Cooper walked through the airport and up to the airline check-in desk with all the swagger and confidence in the world. I couldn’t believe he didn’t freak out at some point on the trip. I thought perhaps his excitement at visiting Grammy and Grampy all by himself would wear off when it came time to… Read More Cooper’s Indiana Adventure
I didn’t realize it until I sat down to write this post, that we hadn’t been back to Indiana at Christmastime since we moved away to Arizona! Since my friend’s wedding was near my in-laws, it worked out beautifully that the kids could get some quality time with grandparents, aunts, and uncles while Stephen and… Read More Small Town. Big Hearts.

And they are lovely together. the happy couple Dr. Pringle prays over his daughter’s wedding rehearsal rehearsal dinner Rebekah is my dearest friend, and she… Read More My Best Friend’s Wedding
On November 1st, Stephen’s Grandma Mildred Myers went home to be with Jesus. She was 95 years old. Stephen flew home to be with his family, support his mom, and attend Grandma’s funeral. He also got to be Uncle Stephen for the first time as he met Brooklyn, Stephanie & Jason’s baby girl. While I… Read More Remembering Grandma Myers
Congratulations to my sister-in-law and her husband–Stephanie and Jason–on the birth of their daughter, Brooklyn Faith! This is their first child, and the first granddaughter born to the Moody clan. She arrived at 8:48am this morning, weighing 7 lbs 14 oz. Her middle name is a tribute to Mom Moody–very special. For the first time… Read More A Day of Firsts
Rebekah and I checked one off our friendship bucket list–we attended a ladies’ Bible conference together, and it was worth it! A while ago I had suggested we attend a conference together, so when Rebekah saw that the True Woman conference in Indy was coming up, we bought our tickets a year in advance. The… Read More True Woman Conference 2014
Though it’s not a final goodbye, we’ll miss Grandma and her spunky stories. Stephen’s Grandma Moody passed away on a Friday morning this August. She was 87 years old. I’m thankful Silas and Cooper both had the chance to meet their great grandma. We thought it was important for Mom and Dad to have their… Read More Goodbyes
After months of waiting, Stephen (and I) finally made it to the Colts vs. Cardinals game! We had seats in row 19 near the fifty yard line. While we had great seats, the game didn’t live up to our expectations–to say the least. It’s a good thing we celebrated that first (and only) field goal… Read More Colts Love
