Hello, again!

June 13, 2017

Hello my dear friends! If you could see me, this would be my expression: I am tickled to be with you again. And I’m about to throw my arms around you in a big hug! I have missed you! To be sure, this online space has been neglected for a time. Not out of laziness … More Hello, again!

Meet Ellie

April 24, 2016

For years, Marshall and I have dreamed of having people live with us… college age or just beyond, maybe even an “orphaned” high schooler that just needed a place to be restored and loved and set back on their feet.

Yep, you guessed it. Or maybe you didn’t… Frankly, I should have known…. I am a boy mama through and through. Four boys!!!!  Four.  FOUR. I was up early this morning, not anxious or worried… preoccupied is the best word. I couldn’t sleep for the curiosity and hopeful wondering of WHO this little one would … More It’s a . . .
