The house is clean! Well, most of it, anyway. The parts that people see. (And we ALL know that those are the only parts that really count, don’t we?) Considering that I’ve been actively sitting on my duff all week, this is a bit of a major accomplishment. Sometimes I just need a motivating factor, [...]

I’m feelin’ it
It’s still a bit surreal that we’re going to be having another baby. I mean, just looking back at that sentence right there makes me all Keanu-in-the-early-years (“Like, whoa.”)
So far, I’m feeling great, if very, very tired. Yesterday was a great example of the tired-ness that is consuming me. We left the doctor’s office at [...]

Sometimes it’s difficult
There are some things that you just can’t work into a conversation easily. You just have to come out with it. Just SAY it. You can’t really wait for the “right” moment, because what you’re going to say is just a conversation stopper. It’ll just change the whole flow of the discussion. Could be bad [...]

Little boy joy
One of the more interesting things I’ve discovered lately about Jet is that the boy absolutely has to spend some time running around like mad, preferably outside. He literally just has so much energy to burn that he becomes miserable, as does everyone around him, if he’s not allowed to go crazy at least once or [...]

We met a wonderful Christian man who serves in the military and spoke to us about his life and his decision to follow Christ into the service. We saw several ceremonies of the changing of the guard at [...]

The wedding was [...]

Sunday Lyrics – Come Thou Fount
I love Jadon Lavik’s contemporary version of this classic.
Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above.
I’ll praise the mount I’m fixed upon it
Mount of thy redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Here by thy great [...]

Si, we’re bilingual
For those of you who don’t know us IRL (in real life), my husband is Hispanic. He does not, however, speak fluent Spanish. I am so white that I blind people when I wear a swimsuit. I majored in Spanish, and speak it much better than Knight. (He freely admits that he knows just enough [...]

Signs that Summer is just around the corner
Jet and I took a picnic to the park this afternoon. The weather was just too good not to. Soon, five p.m. will mean blistering heat and high humidity. Today, though? Today was just perfect… 75 and sunny, with a good breeze.
How do you celebrate such good weather?
Here’s how we did it:
