“Merry Christmas tree outside!!!” That’s what Judah yelled when he saw the first snowflakes of the year fall outside the window this past week. While the snow invites my boys to play and enjoy, it reminds me of other things: The beauty and amazing intricacy of God’s creation. The ongoing cycle of life and death. […]

Last night, Judah kept waking up after we put him to bed. So we threw out our “kids-should-sleep-in-their-own-beds” philosophy for the night, squeezed his little head between our pillows, and enjoyed a night of cuddling and having a toddler in various, random sleeping positions take up most of our space. As I was lying there, […]

We don’t really “celebrate” Halloween, but we did have fun dressing up the boys and participating in a campus-wide trick or treat night. Judah’s strategy was to stand back, let his fellow German friend knock on the door (see […]

Haaaaappy Fall, everyone! Time for gloves, hats, collecting leaves, pumpkin muffins, and a 4-day camping trip including long hikes and self-made-one-tarp-shelters, of course! (More to come in the near future on that last one in case you’re wondering) Side note: As part of our Simple Living class, we will be “off-line” until the end of […]

I cannot believe that all of this happened exactly one year ago. I still remember that September day so well: the anticipation, the walking-back-and-forth during classes, the drive to the midwife, the pain and the tears, and the indescribable bliss of holding our new son. Happy birthday, Elias! Here’s a review in numbers of Elias’ first […]

Whose husband goes to Walmart at 5AM in the morning to get flowers for his wife and food to make a delicious breakfast for his family? Mine. What a great surprise to wake up (after sleeping in! Yesssss!) to the sound of sizzling bacon and the smell of hot coffee.     As Judah would […]

Missouri is funny. One day, it’s 90 degrees and so humid that you sweat just from sitting in the shade. The next day it’s cold enough to wear hats and gloves. It’s warmed up since those couple of cold days and now we are thoroughly enjoying the last little bit of summer on this beauuuuutiful […]
