Miss Emersyn’s face sums up how we’ve all been feeling around here the last couple days – sick, tired, and crabby! One by one the kids and I were hit with a horrible stomach bug, and we’ve been out of commission. Baylen has hardly ever been sick, actually this week was the first time he’s ever …

I love watching the way these two love each other. They’re happiest when they are as close as can be, always holding hands and cuddling, and if I set them down apart from each other it’s only a matter of minutes before they’ve rolled and wiggled so they can be touching again. It’s pretty fun …
Our Family Gym Membership
Working out has always been important to me. While obviously it’s good for my physical health, I’m actually more motivated to do it because of how it makes me feel emotionally. Breaking a good sweat is an amazing stress reliever and gives me a sense of calm. It gets rid of my negative energy and …
A Whole New World
Emersyn and Mckinley learned how to sit up on their own this weekend! And we’ve been having a blast this week figuring out all sorts of new things for them to play with and look at. I forgot how much suddenly changes when babies learn to sit up! A whole new world is available to …
Birthday Buddies
I worked for Feed My Starving Children before I had kids, and loved the relationships I was able to develop while working there. It was amazing working with other people who were like-minded. One of those people was Ashley. She and I were Event Planners together and we clicked from the minute we met. One …
Papa & Nana
My parents are in town this weekend and it makes my heart so happy to see the relationship they’ve developed with Baylen over the past two years. We had been talking all week about how Grandma AND Grandpa were going to come to our house, and randomly Bay would go to the door and say, …
Captivated
Emersyn and Mckinley are at a fun age. They are completely entertained by the silliest of things, especially their big brother. It’s been a blast to see them interact lately. I think Baylen’s starting to see them as playmates instead of babies who lay there and have nothing to offer him. He loves to visit …
Baylen’s 2nd Birthday Party
We threw Baylen a little birthday party yesterday, and it was incredibly humbling to see family and friends come together to love on our little guy. It made my heart happy to have a day where he was the main focus. Since Emersyn and Mckinley were born he’s done a great job sharing the spotlight, but …
Running With Precious Cargo
Yesterday was a perfect Autumn day here in Minnesota. It was one of those days when I just had to be outside as much as possible! Knowing that snow could be only weeks away, I have to take advantage of nice weather while I can. We went for a mid-day walk to the park, but …
Baylen’s 2nd Birthday
Yesterday Baylen turned 2! The joy of the Lord was so present as we celebrated our amazing little guy. I tried really hard to put aside all of my chores, laundry, ect, and spent extra time focusing on him. As I intentionally observed him playing and laughing and interacting with his sisters, my heart overflowed …
