I got this sweet picture from Santos  (the cutie pie boy I sponsor to attend school in Guatemala) and the words written on it are precious: Translates to say: Dear Godmother, I am very grateful with you for the gifts that you sent me.  I thank you with all my heart for being so special [...]

My sweet Beebo went to the Spring Gala this past Saturday night. I love this photo of my daughters! But how in the heck did they get this grown up??

Sometime this past November, I was looking around on the Mayan Families website, as I have been doing regularly since my trip to Guatemala in January of 2011. They offer so many ways to help: sponsoring a student for school, offering one-time medical help money, or food money for a particular family. The opportunity to [...]

Someday I do hope to see Jesus – my Lord and Savior. But not anytime soon, I hope. The Jesus I want to see soon is the young boy I met last year in Guatemala. You might remember the story I wrote about him here. I have thought of him and prayed for him so [...]

I am a doodler from way back. If I have a pen in hand, I’m drawing with it. When I was a kid – and even later in college – all of my school notebooks had doodles in the margins. At staff meetings, I draw while the boss is talking. At church, I draw on [...]

(Some of the conversation is overlapped [...]

You ever feel like you’re in a million places at once, busy busy, but at the end of the day – don’t feel like you’ve actually accomplished ANYTHING? That’s the story of my life these days. I feel busy but I don’t really have much to show for it. But….. my girls sure aren’t cute, [...]

This past Sunday, my sweet Luby was baptized. She had been saved a few months ago, actually during the week that Shannon and Madison were here visiting. With all the summer trips and general busyness of life, it wasn’t until this past weekend before we could get it scheduled. I am so proud of her [...]

So we went to Chicago for part family vacation and part dental hygiene conference. It was exhilarating and exhausting! I have much to share with you but seems like having the time is the issue these days. For now, a few photos. Thirteen, to be exact. 1. The Bean. 2. I just love these flags, [...]

I saw Beebo using my husband’s phone to take a photo of something and I asked to see it when she finished. I cracked up when I saw all the pics she’d taken of herself one day while she was hanging out at his office: What a nutbob!! I love that silly goose.
