Our oldest son turned 11 over the Labor Day weekend.  We love camping together, and decided that after roughly 5 years of not camping, we needed to get away and enjoy the serenity of God’s Creation.  Since it was his birthday and all we had to have birthday cake!  Nik just got back from a [...]

He Is In Control

July 15, 2010

It’s hard to believe that as I cuddle with my 6 week old baby, tomorrow (Friday, July 16th) would have been the day he was set to be born. If I was in control. If I was in control, Blake would have been born at 39 weeks gestation, not 33 weeks. If I was in [...]
