July 22, 2013, at 9:28 pm | We hit our favorite bike trail Sunday night, and the kids all rode their big-wheel trikes down the path as fast as their little legs would carry them.
See them way down there?

They wouldn’t stay still long enough for a decent picture!
Danny was eager for his turn:

Afterwards, we had dinner and ice cream outside where the kids enjoyed picking flowers (a.k.a. weeds):

Notice Becky’s shiner on her left eye? Poor kid knocked into her brother’s hard head the other day. Good thing she likes the color purple!

And an ice cream parlor.
So now our bodies are cool and our tummies are full. That’s a good combination!

July 16, 2013, at 9:50 pm | I’m still not convinced we need a pool – the building process, and the resulting hole, is serving to be sufficiently entertaining for my family (although not quite as refreshing as a pool would be on these super hot days)!

July 14, 2013, at 10:25 pm | Last Friday, I had the opportunity to drive up to Boston to spend the day with my friend Ashley and her family and attend a night of VBS. I was a bit nervous about taking all the kids on a road trip by myself, but it went really well. I got to see Ashley’s lovely home, ooh and ahh over her adorable son, and spend time with Christians I haven’t seen in a while. It was a wonderful day, driving and all!
Uriah and the boys (don’t you think he’d be a natural with twins?!):

Ashley’s nieces were visiting, and they were a huge help with the kids:

Ashley took us to a great nearby park, and Danny gave it his vote of approval – especially the sandbox:

Ashley sent me this picture she took of our boys together. They don’t look so sure of each other now, but just you wait and see – they’ll be best buds!

July 11, 2013, at 9:36 pm | Jimmy’s newest hobby: Watering the rocks (and himself)!

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! Feel free to e-mail me at: [email protected].
