A Flower for Sunday
The voice of the LORD is powerful;The voice of the LORD is full of majesty.Psalm 29:4
Here’s a Milestone for You.
Ellie is now tall enough to swing her foot over the rail of her crib.
This terrifies me. Not because I’m worried she might fall. No. But because the thought of Ellie sleeping in a regular bed makes me want to hyperventilate.
She hasn’t yet climbed out of her crib, but with a little effort [...]
A Real Conversation
When you are talking with a foreigner, please, please be nice and patient. They are working very hard to learn a new language. It isn’t easy, and it can make even the simplest tasks difficult and tiring.
This one took place at the market, I was buying some ground pork. Of course this conversation was in [...]

We have this conversation often now, the only difference is that [...]
100%
There it is, the 31 week belly. It’s getting bigger.
Ellie’s starting to complain about the lack of lap space. I’m going to have to start wearing my running shoes to help my body support the weight better.

The Mighty One, God the LORD,Has spoken and called the earthFrom the rising of the sun to its going down.Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,God will shine forth.Psalm 50:1,2
Saving a Little Face
Soooooo….just so you know, I don’t give in to Ellie and sing to her every time she needs a diaper change after already being put to bed. She is pretty smart, and gets me with a lot of her stall tactics, but I figured this one out long ago.
Although. I have, in the past, [...]
