This morning at MOPS, we talked about family traditions around Holy Week. It brought back some of he most beautiful memories. My father and mother used to wake us up in the middle of the night on Maundy Thursday. We would drive quietly down dark Custer Road in Plano,...
Saturday at Disneyland was pretty special. It has been one year since Riley has been living with us - what a way to celebrate! I realized it when we were on the monorail riding in - and I think I may have scared my train car when I yelled, "It's been a year!". Things...

I should be packing, but instead I am printing out activities for the kids to keep them entertained in the car. It is only a six hour drive to Disneyland, but those six hours are just enough time to arrive at the happiest place on earth with a little less love in our...
The outlaws in-laws are here! Brian's parents are on the adventure of a lifetime. I keep trying to talk them into starting a blog, but until then, I'll just tell you the stories on their behalf. I'm sure they'll love me for it. They are living the dream. They are...
Nancy is just good for me. We take walks and take pictures and talk until we have so many topics going we can't keep straight what conversation we need to finish next. We are so blessed that our youngest have just as much fun together as we do. Each night before bed,...

How is it possible that I flew to Dallas, spent 3 days with some of the loveliest ladies I know, and I didn't pick up my camera? I'm not sure, but it seems like the only truly responsible thing to do is just to share pictures from the Desert Botanical Garden with you....

Are you here in Dallas at Hope Spoken? If you are, I can't wait to meet you! If you aren't, did you know that I'll be praying for you by name and lifting you up high? I know it can feel strange to not be at the place where "everyone else" is. I like to throw a pity...
This time around, I'm home. With Julia and Nate, I worked outside of the home. With Riley, I get the privilege of hanging out with him all day. My days look so different that they used to. I'm still just as scattered and feel like I can't quite get everything done....
