Our recliners- We moved one into the living room and I think I’ve practically lived in it since. 4.Continue reading “Monday's Miracles”

Things are going pretty good. I love having my kids around. It is so cute to watch how the older kids love on Rachel. Taylor loves to hold her and when she gets fussy she will come and talk to her or sing to her. Lindsey loves to look at her and pet her head.Continue reading “Being Mom”
