Lisa A. said...: Congrats on your growing family! I've come to realize that there is NEVER a dull moment with two little boys in the house! Just this evening I fished yet another ENTIRE roll of TP out of the toilet that Liam threw in there while Tyler belly-laughed at his little brother. GROSS! But not as bad as having to snake the potty if it goes down . . . . Your pictures are so sweet! Seeing them makes me miss you all the more!; December 6, 2008 at 12:06 AM

Everything Belongs

As a mom of two lively boys, it seems as though time is speeding by at lightning pace. I'm realizing more and more that I need to be purposeful about my role as their mother. Parenting is such.hard.work. Exhausting and humbling. Yet the rewarding part comes as I encounter the Divine in the midst of it all, giving hope and joy in the midst of the chaos. While most of my days are ordinary and routine I want to use this blog as a way to raise my awareness of how God surprises us in it all. Big or small, significant or not, it is all held together by our loving Creator, for truly, everything belongs. Will you join me in the journey?
