Each summer I find myself wanting to capture the moment, remembering my kids just as they are during the summer. It always seems like a time of transformation and maturing. For example, in this picture, Catherine looks like she's 10. When did she get so big that her legs reach the glove box? Catherine likes… Continue reading Summer kids
Right now, I'm going through my blog drafts pile - finishing the ones that I want to publish and trashing the ones that need to be cleaned up. This was one that I felt needed to be saved even though all that I had written was three sentences. Last year at this time I was… Continue reading Reflections on Our Wedding Day
One of my favorite things to do is to hold my children. I often think about my failings as a mother. The times I'm just too lazy or tired to make a home-cooked meal, when I say no to reading just one more book, or whether or not I am using the right kind of… Continue reading To hold my children
My Love, It is easy to transport myself back, almost 10 years ago, to the BCM House. We met in the fall of Freshman year, but you were quiet, unassuming, and in the background. In the spring of Freshman year, I started to notice you and the more I noticed you, the more I wanted to… Continue reading To my Love, on our 5th Anniversary
Right now we are in the middle of Andy's away rotations, a.k.a. traveling around the country for several months to check out residencies. Today, Catherine and I drove home from visiting Andy for the weekend at one of those potential residency locations. We all know I do my best thinking in the car, so bam.… Continue reading My Life Currently: A Soundtrack
'Tis the season of love, am I right? With Valentine's Day just around the corner I thought I'd take a moment to spotlight my Valentine and why I love him so very much. He's been the best supporter I could have asked for over the past year or so as we've made the transition to… Continue reading 14 Things I Love About YOU
I've seen a lot of Moms do something called the 52 project where they post a picture of their child each week throughout the year. Well I like that idea but I know in reality it would probably just be week one for me. Instead I decided that one post a month would be more manageable.… Continue reading //January//
We'd like to introduce you to our new daughter, Catherine Joy, freshly one week old today. We are pretty sure she's the sweetest, most precious little baby ever but we might be biased. Her name means "pure joy" and so far she has been living up to her name. I decided that James 1:2-3 is… Continue reading Isn’t She Lovely…
Last year when I wrote about my Mom on Mother's Day last year I intended for it to be the first in a series of posts about my family. Well we all know how good I am at finishing a post series. (Ahem, the love story series.) I thought I would pick it back up again this… Continue reading My Dad
Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end. The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper, fully aware that the Father had put… Continue reading A love letter poured out on their feet
