The tilt-o-whirl is one of those rides. Cannot handle it at all. I will ride it, […]

Day 135: Measurements. “Your future with Him will be certain, and you will not have hoped in vain.” Proverbs 23:18 It’s not a proud parental moment for my husband and I, but it really was a funny one. The negotiations on the kitchen floor over which shoe arrangement would allow my daughter to reach the […]
