My friend Tracey took these pictures for us last weekend.  This is such a happy time in our lives and I think she did a fabulous job of capturing our joy.  God has blessed us beyond measure.  We took Wynn in for his 15 month well-baby visit yesterday and he is growing strong and thriving. …

We reached an agreement with the sellers and will soon be officially under contract on our beach cottage!!!  It feels like a dream come true.   It is a dream come true!   I have always wanted a “cosmetic fixer” project like this and am very passionate about fixing up this very modest cottage on a shoe-string…

I walked down to the basement about mid-morning with baby…

  Goodness, it has been so long since I’ve written a blog post that I almost forgot how to write one! Please forgive my absence of (gasp!) two weeks, which was completely unintentional and simply the result of life taking priority over writing . . . lovely, lovely life, although I have missed writing and…
