I am humbled today. As most of you know, I've been kind of absent lately. I've been battling a migraine for about a week and a half. It's awful. It's nauseating. It's debilitating. I can't take anymore. Today I've been in and out of hot baths. I've taken my migraine meds, and I'm laying in the bed. I've cried today, because I just feel overwhelmed with it all. It's been a really stressful couple of weeks. And today, I lost it. I've yelled at my kids, and cried and yelled and nothing makes me feel better. Then my daughter, wise beyond her years, brought me a picture she colored of Jesus. It's a picture of when He called Peter. And I am definitely humbled. Because I am just like Peter. It isn't even funny how much I am like Peter. She handed it to me, and I said thank you baby, Jesus makes everyone feel better. And indeed, He does. I am now laying in my bed, being completely unproductive. But I feel a little bit better, if nothing more than on the inside. My babygirl is laying here beside me, planting kisses on my cheek, and my chubalub (my son) is here with us too. It's pouring outside, and we're watching Enchanted. It's such a good feeling to be with them. I wish I realized that earlier. They are such amazing little people. I love them.

  • I'm a wife. I'm a mom. I'm a photographer. I'm a lover of Jesus. My house is a mess, my kids are dirty, we eat take out more often than not. My life is loud, busy and crazy. And that's okay with me.

    This is Eric, the man you've been praying for. He's a paramedic. He quilts in his spare time. No, I couldn't make that up :) He has NASH (a form of liver disease, non-alcoholic) and diabetes, but those things don't define him. He's a man of God, an insanely wonderful husband, and the best daddy in the world.. Just ask these guys..

    Our daughter Ali, she's 9. She's fiercely opinionated and strong willed. She's a Daddy's girl, but the umbilical cord hasn't but cut from me, either. She's a gymnast, and proud of it. She spends more time upside down or turning flips than she does walking. She's crazy smart, and absolutely sure of it. She is my insufferable little know it all.

    Our son Dylan, 7. We lovingly refer to him as Chubs. Or Chubby. Or fat boy. Ahem. He is all boy, as you can see by his crazy wild energy. He has the highest pain tolerance of any child I have ever met. He plays soccer and does gymnastics, but truly he is a gamer, a nerd. He is an avid reader and loves to climb. Not to be outdone by his sister, he's a drama king, but to him, I'm the best mommy in the world.
