I purchased the big “C” at JoAnne’s and painted it pink. The sticker on the small plate displays the [...]

Sometimes He calms the child. Sometimes He calms the storm. Ryan and I walked toward the doctor’s office from the van. He was visibly nervous about seeing the eye specialist.

Molly (yes, I know she needs a hair cut, poor dear) lovingly filled [...]

Molly struggles to stay awake to eat her chip crumb snack from the sample lady that thought salsa would be too spicy for her to eat. Ryan chilled in the freezer [...]
