The Absolute Blessing of Doing Family God’s Way
It has been altogether too long since I updated my blog! I suppose keeping up with a ten month old, a home, a husband, tutoring students, friendships, etc… really can keep a girl on her toes! I am in disbelief that Caroline is fast approaching the one year mark. I miss my tiny newborn baby…

Month four of motherhood is upon me, and perhaps more importantly, Lucas and I are approaching one and a half years of marriage on the 7th of June. Anyone ever look at your spouse after years of knowing them and feel like you just met on the street? How can you live with someone day…
