Hidden Blessings

There is a curtain that wraps around the ultrasound table at Children’s hospital.  It’s colorful.  A blue green with large orange and red and yellow circles spanning the length of it.  That curtain and a minute are all that stand between me and a life turned upside down. Every three months I stare at that curtain, peeking under the bottom to see if it is two or four feet that approach.  Two feet means an all clear from the tech – another three months of being medically boring.  Four feet means we are not medically boring.  Four feet means the … Read more

A Walk in the Park

Thank the Lord we have finally gotten some sunshine. By mid-week I was very cranky and I couldn’t figure out why until I started noticing all the Facebook posts that referenced how long it had been since we had seen sunshine.  It was like a light bulb went off.

Three. Three.  THREE! How? I cannot believe that you, my baby, turned three today.  It feels like just yesterday … Read more

More Fall Fun

Today was another beautiful fall day.  While Matt raked the yard the boys got some fresh air.  Looking out the bedroom window I couldn’t help but grab our camera and go capture some of the fun! Sam was really hamming it up for the camera.  I love that he was so carefree!  Will was running around like a lunatic – I got more pictures of his back as he ran away than anything else. I’ve been wanting to learn more about our digital camera and some basic digital editing and have been spending some of my new found free time … Read more
