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. This weekend we are {finally} doing our one on one dates – Paul and [...]
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.

Day 22 5 months after Paul and I met {which will be 10 years this December!} I worked at a camp for an entire summer. The staff parents were a newly wed young couple that loved us. The entire staff adored them because they loved us – they talked to us, encouraged us, prayed with [...]
Day 21 Romancing the hearts of our boys, with the purpose of pointing their attention to Christ, can only be effective if we are daily seeking after Him ourselves. Romance and praying for our children are so closely tied together. “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” – {Matthew 12:34} – a [...]
Day 19 Date night hasn’t happened since last week’s date night (which, by the way, we still laugh about – it was that fun!) We had family come to visit this past weekend – older four children pictured above and all six of the children pictured below. It was a full house and the boys had [...]
