WordPress informed me that this is my 250th post. Seems appropriate for such wonderful news. Life has been very full for our family. Sometimes I can’t keep up. I certainly find blogging to be low on my to do list compared to the other things going on… as it should be!

But here in this place I choose to record for the future how we lived our days, giving thanks for the many good gifts God pours out on us in our seemingly ordinary lives. Oh, how He loves you and me!

Friends and family gathered over the weekend to celebrate the gift of new life that God has blessed Mike and Veronica with. Time is getting close and we are so excited to meet this little guy!

{I promise to do my best to pull out a few favorite photos from the 230 I took last week and share with you soon!}
