The plan for Tuesday: Nurse the baby. Shower. Nurse the baby again. Change some diapers. Get 12 people up, dressed, fed and out the door by 7:30. This includes making sure the dogs, chickens and new chicks are cared for. Drop Dad off at work, 52 miles away. Nurse the baby while we’re there. [...]

Lately I’ve come across several lists of reasons not to have children. I find it very sad and telling that nearly all of the authors’ reasons are based in immaturity, materialism, myths, and misconceptions.

Read to the bottom for a giveaway. Hey – wait! No skipping ahead. I worked hard on this post. It’s been quiet here on our blog, but that doesn’t mean life has been quiet for our family. On the contrary, it’s been a whirlwind. Last weekend was Vision Forum’s long-awaited Baby Conference! Perry and I [...]

Yes, we have another birthday in our family already. We also have some positive proof of aging: our oldest child is 17. If we have a 17yo daughter, then we must not be 17 any more. Wow. When did that happen? Deanna is the same age that Perry and I were when we got [...]
