Matthew is doing better and better each day! He is playing more and sleeping less. In fact, he’s not sleeping through the night anymore! I am hoping it’s only because he’s gotten his days and nights mixed up. I was up until 4:30 this morning with him. He slept some of that time, but I …
Only one word comes to mind to describe how I’ve felt yesterday and today: exhausted. I’m more emotionally exhausted than physically, but my body is tired after the 2,000 mile journey to and from Columbus, Ohio, and now the fear for Matthew’s little life. If you’re just now tuning in, please read my previous post …
On Friday, May 27, at approximately 2:30 PM, Matthew was playing on the floor in our oldest daughter’s room. Suddenly, Lauren called out, “Mom, Matthew just threw up a lot.” I ran in to clean up the mess, not too concerned about it. When I got to the room, I saw he was gagging over …
On Monday, May 23, we were able to stop by the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky. It was a wonderful experience. It thrilled us to be in a place that was devoted to proving our faith, and believe me, the proof is all around us. I have 47 photos to share today, so I hope …
My in-laws graciously offered to take our four older children to the safety carnival put on by their community last Saturday. Matthew stayed with Terry’s grandmother and Terry and I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon out alone together in Dublin, Ohio! We ate at Texas Roadhouse and had some ice cream at Dairy Queen. My father-in-law …
We are enjoying our vacation so very much. It’s been great to visit with our family and let the kids enjoy time with their grandparents. Here are a few photos of our trip. The girls put Matthew in this doll playpen. We had a very sick boy during the first two days of our trip. …
We have had a wonderful vacation! In fact, we are still on vacation! I wanted to check in with you loyal readers to let you know we are all fine. Matthew had an ear infection at the beginning of our trip. I was worried about his getting sick while we were away before we ever …
Today is my sweet Leslie’s sixth birthday. We are enjoying a visit with her Grandparents in Ohio today. We’ve already had her party, but I just wanted to mention her on her actual day. Leslie is the quietest of my children. She is shy and has a sweet smile. She is a hard worker. She …
Terry preaching, Dec. 2008. Our first Christmas at Grace. Today marks my husband’s third anniversary as Pastor of Grace Baptist Church! In some ways, it seems like it’s only been a year or so. In other ways, it feels like it’s been 30 years! We’ve had our share of difficult days. It’s funny though, I …
Leslie Anne will be six years old on May 17th. We are planning to be on a trip to visit family during her actual birthday, so we had a small party for her last weekend. It was a blessing to have her Nana and Aunt Melanie here for the party. Lord willing, she will get …
