D&K Christmas Pictures

December 3, 2012April 25, 2017

The sun was shining warmly this past Saturday. I knew it was time for our Christmas picture – right then and there. Out the tri-pod came and in came pics of Dan and Kristin.

I am so blessed have this man by my side. I had thought for two seconds having the picture of our two “hooties” in our picture as well. But this is our life right now. Dan and I, with two kids in Heaven. As we anticipate Christmas, we are realizing more and more each day what a miracle the birth of a baby is. How humbled I am that God would send His own Son, in human form, born from a virgin womb, to be here with us. As we head into this Christmas season just us two, we are so thankful for the opportunity to be parents and are so grateful for God’s provision in our life.

So we stand together this Christmas, blessed with having gone through opportunities we never imagined, humbled at God’s protection, and forever changed through the journey God has us on.

Mazy Grace’s Baptism

Since my husband works as a youth pastor for 2 churches, we had a combined afternoon service. We gathered in the fellowship hall, since the sanctuary is currently torn down, and…

18 Week Update!

18 seems like a big number. A big week to hit. I am not sure if it’s because I am past my 17 week appointment or the fact that I am 2 weeks away from being halfway! No matter what number I hit, I feel like it’s a huge milestone. A milestone we never even…

10 Bible Verses To Combat Mom Guilt

Everyone struggles with guilt. This feeling that we should have done something a different way. Made a different choice. Acted in a kinder way. Said it a different way. Or should have not said anything at all. Guilt. Then there is this guilt when we think… Did my child have too much screen time today?…
