Really? Adoption?

August 24, 2014

If you get our monthly newsletters, you know that we’re smack dab in the middle of the adoption process. If not, this might be this first you’ve heard, and you’re not sure how all of this happened. It still seems very surreal to me too, so you’re not alone. (Sometimes I honestly wonder how we […]

Never too busy to be clutzy

October 27, 2011

Yikes! It’s almost been a month since our last post! We’ve both been busy–specifically, I’ve been clutzy. Payton called it my personal “Series of Unfortunate Events.” Since last time we posted, I’ve exploded a pyrex dish and broke a glass–in the same day, mind you–, set off the smoke alarm 2x and then actually burn […]

Milkshakes, Minor Prophets, and Miracles

February 18, 2011
