How in the world can this 4-year-old play the piano so well? I suppose he is a child prodigy. Max, my 4-year-old said, “He is amazing. He’s a genius. They have a piano like us. I wish I could play that song.” Great quote from the RNC this week. Can you believe all the interesting […]
Truman: We’ve been trying to encourage Tru to kneel down, fold arms, and close eyes during family prayer. Oh, how hard it is for him. Tonight. He jumped up after prayer and said “I tried so hard.” That boy did! He can do hard things! Max’s prayer: “grateful for … uhhhh … hmmmm… sigh … […]

Tru sat still through his blessing and part of Max’s. He is a wiggle. By the last one, Hannah’s… the littles were restless. This is our life… but it […]
We have been swimming in peaches the past few weeks. I placed a few group orders for our neighborhood from Burgess Orchards. They even delivered them to my home. They are Red Haven Peaches and are so juicy and tasty. I think I ended up with 4 (20 lb) boxes by the end of it […]
