Cub spent almost a solid hour working on letters by his own choice and I introduced numbers 1-5. We also discovered that Josiah can… But proofreading is a bit tricky.

Outpouring of My Heart
I have to be careful with my words here, and I’ve never been terribly good at being careful. I have to be willing to trust–in God, in people, in my instincts…and I’m terrible at trusting.

We aren’t even pregnant yet, and I have baby fever … Continue reading
