We had a little impromptu gathering before Christmas with both new babies. It was sort of like a trial run before Christmas. Our house and heart is full! ❤️
These boys were due 5 days apart. While one made an early entrance, their homecoming days were about one week apart.
This makes for one very happy and slightly tired grandma! 😂
They both started crying in unison! This is when you are glad to be the grandparent. You can love on them and then send them home.
The start of the year had me dreaming of far-off adventures, those two-week getaways that seemed just out of reach. When life got busy, we found a different kind of escape – a spontaneous morning trip to Palestine, TX, to witness the famed dogwood blooms. Spring in East Texas is a spectacle, and we were eager to immerse ourselves in the beauty of Davey Dogwood Park. It had been over a decade since my last visit, and I was excited to see what had changed. As we entered, the park greeted us with delicate white dogwood blossoms, scattered like stars along the five-mile scenic drive. We parked and took a leisurely stroll, enjoying the gentle breeze and the peaceful atmosphere. But what hidden gem did I discover beyond the dogwoods?

It only took us 21 years to take a trip with just the two of us. We have visited Galveston several times with our children when they were young and had completed several youth trips with our home congregation, but that had been about nine to ten years ago. This trip was so different…..Different weather, and full rest and relaxation!!
This morning the woods were alive with light—ice catching the sun, branches shimmering like they were dusted with tiny jewels. Even the cold held beauty.
