After spewing a few insensitve, complaining remarks to my husband about the morning routine and general attitudes of the children, I wisely (too bad I didn’t start the day this way) sat down for a few moments in the Word. Amidst voices at play and one little voice especially wanting Mama’s attention, I took in a few [...]

Toothless

I almost cried the first time I saw him without his teeth. I’ve already watched one pass through this change. The “littleness” of their look is lost with those two front teeth.

My husband is out gardening by moonlight – except I don’t think there is a moon tonight so he’s just watering in the new transplants in the dark. He’s so good to me. Some ladies like to rearrange their furniture, try something new in the family room. I like to rearrange my flowers. He used [...]
