Since I’ve missed an entire month of blogging, I’ll just fill you in on 5 blessings from the month of May: 1) Highlight of the month was definitely our trip to Philadelphia (which may be the closest our girls will get to experiencing brotherly love). The city was impressive to be sure, at least what we… Continue reading 5 Blessings from the Month of May

Race Weekend
Life has been much too busy for my liking the last few weeks, hence no updates. Not even 20 minutes for a blog entry. But tonight, kids are in bed, Chris is out with the guys for a much needed break, and I’m in my pjs with a diet coke (caffeine free at this time of night). Ahhh… The feeling… Continue reading Race Weekend
In Christ Alone
In Christ ALONE my hope is found. My hope is not found in money, in government, or education. Not in friends or family. Not in my legacy, my kids, or health. Not in my church, my husband, or MYSELF. He is my light, my strength, my song; this Cornerstone, this solid Ground, firm through the fiercest… Continue reading In Christ Alone
6 Years of Grace
I cannot believe that we have a 6-year-old! It’s easy to believe that Emily IS 6 (sometimes she acts more like she is 26); but it’s really nothing short of a miracle that we’ve made it this far. 6 years ago we brought her home from the hospital wondering how we were going to keep… Continue reading 6 Years of Grace
Reality
Take 3 When it comes to portrait photography, I’m a bit of a realist. Pictures should help us remember, not pretend. No pretending here. I think this might qualify for that fail blog website. Oh well, if I looked back 30 years from now and saw 5 perfectly dressed little girls all sitting still … Continue reading Reality
Back in the Game
Last night I went to bed hoping I’d wake up in heaven. It’s been that kind of a week. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, tired, buried. Instead the Lord gave me a dreamless uninterrupted 6 hours of sleep (and then a little more) and sent me back to work this morning. With all the basketball going… Continue reading Back in the Game
KluckStock 2010
We have dear friends at our church who adopted their 2nd little boy from Ukraine last year. At that time they learned he had a sister, and she is now available to be adopted. They are eager to bring her home, but are out of funds. This Friday at University Reformed Church… You’re Cordially Invited… Continue reading KluckStock 2010
Happy Anniversary
Our 8th anniversary was yesterday. I thought about writing a poem about my husband. I had a great opening line: “I married a man who lived in a van.” That was it though. I’m not a good poet. I am good at lists however. So here is a non-exhaustive list of 10 Things I… Continue reading Happy Anniversary
Hunting in Pairs
Life with Twin 1 year olds They hunt in pairs and some days I wish I could just find a place to hide. Their names are Kate and Lucy. Really they are much cuter, but if you think I’m exaggerating click on the picture…
Valley of Vision- The Family
One of my very favorite books is of a collection of Puritan prayers called “The Valley of Vision.” It protects me from chronological snobbery, kindles affection in my prayers, convicts my heart of sin, and reminds me of my only hope, Jesus. The following is one of my favorites that I pray for myself, my family, and “all… Continue reading Valley of Vision- The Family
