Yes. We are still alive. But, life came after us this week. Hard. Jemma’s first cold arrived. Sad face :( Then she shared it with her mama. Repeat sad face :( Our week went like this: Monday … This little hat makes me heart happy. I don’t even think she could see here. But she […]

Who’s the cutest 5 month old? JEMMA! Thanks for the wonderful month stickers Sticky Bellies!

Today we participated in our church’s parent/child dedication. It was a wonderful time to publicly share our commitment to raise Jemma in a Christian home and dedicate her to the Lord. Such a meaningful time for our little family! Thanks to our family and friends who were there to support us!
