Chigger Bites Bite There's an empty field next to our house that makes a perfect photo spot when the sun is setting. I decided to take some Fourth of July photos of Jackson and Autry when she visited earlier this month. Yep, we got some great photos; but Jackson and I also got chigger bites. Holy moly they were miserable! I've Been Mad at God As difficult as it was to write this post, it was also very freeing. I've been surprised by my anger; ashamed. But I think anger is a very normal Continue Reading

Nine Things I Learned in May
God Answered A Prayer (But Not Exactly How I Expected) At the beginning of PreK I began praying Jackson would find a buddy. One of my biggest fears is Jackson won't have friends. Social situations can be hard and when he's around other kids his age some of his differences are more apparent. I desperately want him to have little boys to hang out with. I've prayed about this many times (but maybe not as fervently as I should). No, Jackson doesn't have a group of boys he plays with on a regular Continue Reading
Friday Favorites {Summer Edition}
We have FOUR more days of school and boy are we ready for summer! Last week I asked Jackson what he wanted to do this summer. He quickly said, beach, splash pad, swimming pool, water park!
