Good morning, world. It’s quiet in this house right now. I have a lot to tell you, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to squeeze it all in in one blog post, before kids wake up. Yesterday, the craziest thing happened. Actually, it was more like a series of things. And now that I…
About a year ago, I boarded a plane to return home from Engage!11. I missed my boys, but I wasn’t looking forward to the holiday season. For us, holiday season meant 18 hour days, screaming customers, acts of God (ice storms) that were out of our control, and this past year, no cash flow with…

Yesterday morning, I barely made it to church. We pulled in late, me makeup-less. I was by myself because David has been working Sundays lately. Somehow, I wrangled a three year old, a twenty month old, and a baby in a carrier into the children’s section of the church. I couldn’t figure out which kid…
