Photos of the Week

Isaac doesn't love reading and struggles with finding anything worth the effort. So, you can imagine my delight when I found him asleep with a book two nights in a row. Thank you, Star Wars! So, maybe it's not C.S. Lewis, but hey - I'll take what I can get. :-)










Abigail asked two years ago for a dog. We told her she'd need to wait till she was a little older and more mature. We told her last fall that when we found out the new baby was to be a girl, she could have a female dog by her birthday. Her birthday is next weekend, and we've been searching the rescue groups and shelters for one that she'd love. It's been a journey, and she has surprised us by her discernment, maturity, and desire to get the best dog for our family, not just the first cute one she saw. Here's her choice. She'll join our family next week.

I'm very thankful for these big kids and their growth and unique gifts. I'm so proud to be their mom.
