Summertime! We’ve been having a great summer! We’ve visited Dallas with Nathan and his work with Pioneer Bible Translators (PBT), and the kids have stayed busy with church camp/activities, visiting grandparents, enjoying their two new kittens, and having time at home (probably being bored more than they’d like!) All in all, things have been great! […]
Seeing the hand of God
I love that on different apps, we can see photos from “this day” in past years. I love getting to see my now 12, 10, 7, and 5 year old children as babies and toddlers and preschoolers. And this time of year, I see their back to school pictures, proof of how much they’ve grown […]
Coffee, Toothpaste, & Nerfing
I have time to blog today!!! Nathan and I are in Lexington, Kentucky this week at the International Conference on Missions (ICOM). We left early (3am) Wednesday morning to help set up Pioneer Bible Translators’ booth. They actually take up multiple booth spaces, but the display is pretty cool. Today, we don’t have anywhere to be […]
July 2016 Photos
I wasn’t able to get pictures posted when I gave my Quick Update, so here’s a fun post with photos to show what all we’ve been up to lately! 4th of July Josiah doesn’t like fireworks, so he stayed inside, but the other kids had fun! Grace’s Haircut She donated to Children with Hair loss […]
Quick update July 2016
Wow you guys! So much has happened since I last updated at the end of June. I’ll sum it up for now, and hopefully give more details in posts to come. (You know, in all that free time I seem to have!) 🙂 Last week of June: During the last week of June, Samuel was […]
Haircuts, Shoes, Drums and Therapy
It’s been a great week, and we’ve all enjoyed being outside with the nicer weather! Haircuts. On Monday the kids all got haircuts. The girls just had their hair trimmed and the boys had quite a bit cut – especially Josiah! Here’s their before and after pics! Shoes. It took about a week, but we […]
January and February 2016 Medical Update
It’s been awhile since writing, and it’s been a good break for me. January was a nice break in our schedule, and we were home for most of the month. Due to health insurance changes, Josiah had to go through the pre-approval, evaluation and testing process again. Although I tried my best to stay on […]
December 2015 Update
The year is almost over and we enjoyed spending time with family. Josiah’s MRI on December 2nd showed good results, and he doesn’t go back for an MRI until June. Josiah received Botox in his right arm and hand, which has been very helpful in loosening up the muscles, enabling better use of the arm. […]
God Never Fails
Yesterday’s post was on the optimistic side – which is where I tend to land 99% of the time. A friend commented that her children would not be so understanding of a sibling getting more attention and fruit snacks for supper. Truth is, mine aren’t thrilled either. (Neither am I, really.) So I need to […]
Hard Conversations
One of the hardest thing to me about Josiah’s tumor is how it has affected our other kiddos. Example # 1 Our older three kids were troopers throughout the month we spent in the hospital with Josiah following his surgery. One evening I was able to come home and be with them for the night, […]
