Twelve! I can not believe it.I so remember the joy and giddiness of finding out (after one whole month of trying) that I was pregnant with you. Your dad...well...shock is a better word. He thought he would have more time to get used to the idea of maybe having a third child. Five years after [...]

Four of our Monday Night Bible Study Home Girls are also part of this group. We had been getting together for the last couple of years for prayer time, bible study, fellowship, life-sharing.

Question 1What is your favorite fairy tale? Beauty and The Beast. When we were in Disney last month, I made the family go with me to see the show at MGM. Just like we’ve done each time we’ve been to Disney. I still loved it and got lost in it, as always! Question 2If you [...]

It's official...I'm a coffee snob. I've been trying to drink some non-Starbucks coffee I was given for Christmas and I just can't. It's just not as good. I went back to Starbucks yesterday and picked up some Cafe Verona. It was so wonderful to drink this morning. Except that I can hardly taste it. Because [...]
