I just wanted to share my excitement about my new little girl. She was born last Thursday and is so stinkin cute! We are all doing well and my son (5yo) is in love with being a brother.

An acquaintance I used to attend church with was killed in an auto accident today. Her husband died earlier this year after a long battle with cancer.

My cousin died suddenly this weekend. That honestly is about all I know. There are a lot of questions at this point and asking anything will just drudge up more pain for my family at a time when they do not need them. The funeral is Wednesday. Greg left behind 11 children (incluidng...

I'm stealing someone else's idea to ask for recommendations on this. Our little cars are getting very old, and we are going to need to buy a new one soon. We want to go bigger, but we're not sure we HAVE to have a van. We definitely aren't against them, but we aren't made of gold either...

Please keep the Scott family and friends in your thoughts and prayers this week.. We are still grieving the sudden loss of a friend..
