you rock me? Mommy, rock? precious words…that lead to moments forever treasured. Sweet Sam & I in the chair, rocking slowly, singing softly…Max & Mercy, side by side, swaying, singing…all together. Baa Baa Black Sheep Have you any wool? Yes Sir, Yes Sir, three bags full. One for my master, one for my dame. One […]
goes a long, long, way when you are sick, exhausted and at your limit. I’ve got no wit tonight, nothing profound. Just a simple… Thank. You. Wonderful. Friends. for an afternoon of much needed rest, quiet and an opportunity to just be. God is so Good. Just so Good. His gifts are many. His love […]
sings Max. All of a sudden, Max sings. and sings. and sings! It’s just the sweetest sound. And Mercy joins in… their sweet voices blending together… a natural harmony, a lovely cadence, a duet created in my womb that blooms a bit more each day, surprising me & delighting me. Tonight, Sam rocked with me […]
Okay, so please don’t expect a grand, eloquent blog post. I do not have a way with words like my beautiful wife. But when I logged on this morning after church and read her beautiful post, I just wanted to write a few things here about the love of my life. See, before we even […]

sort of. Mostly I’m probably hyperventilating, alternating with praying…yelling…praying…yelling… Um, it’s sort of like the deployment hamster wheel of the wife of the deployed Marine who is just looney enough to homeschool, run a home business AND maintain a level of TYPE A that is really treatable with just enough wine…. and then, I’m stupid […]
