This weekend we had the opportunity to have our biannual one on one dates with our children – something we feel rather passionate about and which I share about often. You can see The Heart Behind Our One on One Dates here. Judah, my 4 year old, was my date this weekend. We started around [...]
These little people I have been entrusted with are so much fun. We had a busy and fun week with my brother and one of his friends visiting this past week. The boys just love the attention that an uncle brings. Pin It This weekend we are {finally} doing our one on one dates – [...]
Pin It I am so thankful for these dear friends – we met Chip and Elizabeth the beginning of this year through church and we have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them better over the past months. Last week we were able to do some pregnancy pictures to document her gorgeous belly and get some [...]
Day 27 One of our favorite family night activities is Game Night. The boys adore playing games and we have slowly grown our collection of favorite children games to play for family game night.
