0 Sewing Wars

The other day, I was reading my friend Stephanie's blog and her post was about how much she loves to sew.  She is an excellent seamstress and I am very impressed with her work.  Recently, I was given a lovely sewing machine from my gracious in-laws and have been trying to learn how it works.  It is a Baby Lock Ellure and it has the capabilities to embroider, as well as, sewing.  I got it right before the girls were born so I haven't had much time to...

Eat, Pray, Love the movie was a great adaptation of the book written by Elizabeth Gilbert.  It tells a story about a woman that leaves her New York City lifestyle to  travel around the globe to Italy, India, and Bali in search of everything.  Julia Roberts brings the character of Liz to life as we watch her transform from sad to happy by the end of the movie.  It is an intimate story of one woman's quest to find pleasure, peace, and love on a year...

3 Doing What's Best

Hebrews 10:23 says, "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promises is faithful."  Last week, I had to be reminded of the truth in that statement.  On Friday, we took the girls for what we thought to be a quick weight check at the pediatrician's office but it turned into a two and half hour full check-up.  At our appointment, the twins received their four month old shots and we also had another lengthy discussion about their feeding schedule. ...

For this month's Do-Gooder, we wanted to focus on a business that has recently helped us out tremendously.  Since the birth of our premature twin girls, our friends have been bringing us home-cooked meals so we wouldn't have to fool with making dinner in between visiting them at the hospital and caring for them since they have come home.  These meals have been a tremendous gift to us because we have been able to spend more time with our girls.  Our friends...

Hello friends, I am so excited to introduce a new monthly article that we will post entitled, "The Do-Gooder."  Who are the Do-Gooders you might ask?  These are individuals or businesses that are serving our world by doing good.  They are people that shine their light and listen to God's calling to do good in this world.  In the book of Matthew; Jesus teaches us why it is important for us to do good.

Description: The Light Meets the Dark is the second major label studio album from Christian pop rock Tenth Avenue North. It was released on May 11, 2010 by Reunion Records. Vocalist Mike Donehey said, "On this record I really tried to be honest about how messed up I am. We wanted it to be a collision between our hearts and God's truth. His grace collides with the dark inside of us. His blood can cover us and I'm trying to call people out and say 'Look, please...

3 Feeding Time

I'm going to have to type fast today because the girls just can't get settled.  We are on a slightly new feeding schedule and it has been tough on us getting used to it.  Until recently, the girls have been receiving a follow-up bottle after I have finished nursing to make sure that they were getting enough milk.  Doing this extra bottle adds an additional 15 minutes to our total feeding time so it took us around an hour  to do one feed.  In order...
