Missed Us? June 13, 2011, at 10:27 pm | Sorry for the absence! A strong storm blew through our area on Thursday evening, knocking out power to our neighborhood until late Saturday night, so we were camping out at my in-laws’ home this weekend. We were very blessed that the storm did only minimal damage to our property, and thankful for Jim’s parents’ hospitality. We’re a large, noisy, messy crew to house at a moment’s notice! Thanks so much, Mom and Dad!
So although our fridge now looks like this, thanks to the removal of spoiled food…
…our smiles now look like this, thanks to the relief of being home again!
(Blue mustache and beard is an added plus, thanks to some unsupervised crayon “chapstick” application!).

ABOUT US I'm blessed to be saved by the grace of God, loved by my wonderful husband Jim, and embraced by my twin girls, Rebecca Faith and Susanna Joy and my sons Jimmy and Danny. I started this blog in May 2008 when I was hospitalized for pre-term labor at 24 weeks gestation. The Lord allowed me to keep the girls inside until they were 34 weeks along, and on July 27th, Rebecca made her debut, followed by Susanna, five minutes later, on July 28th. We ecstatically welcomed Jimmy into our lives on April 25th, 2011, and Danny on August 31, 2012. This blog has been a personal journal of faith and motherhood and the only way I can remember which child did what and when. Thanks for stopping by to share in my Faith and Joy!

Ah yes, the lovely ambiance of a ripe refrigerator. We came back from a hurricane evacuation some years back to that wonderful aroma. The refrigerator was old so we ended up replacing it. One lesson was learned around here from prolonged hurricane outages. If the power will be out long enough for the food in your refrigerator and/or freezer to spoil, you are better off throwing out the perfectly good food before you leave rather than coming back to deal with spoiled food. (Yes it is hard to throw out good food, but…)
