Elliott's dream came true with a "friend" Birthday Party

3.30.12

Who knew?

3.29.12

That George Herman Ruth hit a home run with this one.

3.28.12

The day Elliott has been waiting for has finally arrived.

3.27.12

There are mornings I wish I didn't have to stumble for these....

3.26.12

Living the width of life with dear friends and Needtobreathe.

3.25.12

Now this is church!  Two are better than one.

Just as we need breath, we need community to

share it with.

3.24.12

Whipping wind, freezing feet, silent {soul cleansing}laughter and Jesus

made me thankful for each breath and the women I was blessed to

share them with.

3.23.12

Little did I know that the breath would have such great meaning,

and that even more amazing is the "in between".

3.22.12

In the midst of reading their comic book, the boys

took a break to practice scratching their ears with their feet.

3.21.12

It was a legitimate win for Gibson in our first Phase 10 face off.

3.20.12

I have no idea what is happening over here....

Either I am losing my mind or taking chances like I've never taken before.

3.19.12

Could it be that it is warm enough to sleep uncovered in just a pair of

shorts in the middle of March?

Yes! We Michiganders are making weather history.

3.18.12

Oh, Pinterest, the things you dare me to try.

Red velvet cake in a jar?

Yes, it was too good to be true.

3.17.12

Sidelined with an injury, I cheered my girls on in the jig.

In some small way, I am thankful for my injury as it gave me a

new perspective and true joy for my soul sister as she smashed her

personal record!

3.16.12

Happy Birthday K3! We love you, your heart and your vast knowledge

of the cleanse!

3.15.12

This broken humming bird was hanging in our first home.

As a reminder of where we've been we

had to take her with us to our new home.

Just recently, we have begun to notice beauty within

her brokeness and she is a subtle reminder

that God uses all that is broken.

3.14.12

What do you get when you cross a little people girl with a dolphin?

Although a mermaid was 2/3 of our immediate answer...

Daddy needed a few more clues.

3.13.12

Yep. True story. Boys watching ESPN, one standing

in the T.V. watching position.

3.12.12

You know you're living the life when you get to play tennis

with the neighbor girls in the middle of the road!

3.11.12

Day 4 of our 10 day cleanse and we are drooling over

the pizza on the boy's plates!

3.10.12

You know it's March Madness when you get to have a picnic lunch

on the living room floor!  Go State!

3.9.12

Just your typical Friday morning, hanging out in

the lazy susan.

3.8.12

I thought it was amazing that Katie was collecting beads for

women in Guatemala, and even more amazing that we got

to "meet" these incredible women.

{At Risk No More}

3.7.12

I came home from running an errand to find the boys

piling their toys on Steve and whispering,

Shhhh, Daddy's sleeping.

3.6.12

One from the weekend that was too good to pass up.

3.5.12

Cross #23 off the list, the first one at least....

3.4.12

Eight years ago, almost to the day, Steve and I took our picture

in this same spot as we celbrated our 1 year anniversary.

Now, almost nine years after the day we were married

we are in awe of what our story has become.

3.3.12

The slopes may be closed, but that won't stop us from having some fun.

3.2.12

Our weekend away began with no power,

 but a wood stove and some wine made us forget all about it.

3.1.12

A sneak peek of what's to come.
