Since we are three hours away, we really try and make the most of our appointments at Primary’s. This day was a LONG one but we were able to get a lot done! Lab Work First up, was lab work. After our last meeting with the neurologist, they put in more lab work for this …
Family Game Night
It felt like January flew by in a FLASH! Our family made a goal this year to bring back our monthly “family fun” activities. We got pretty inconsistent this last year {can we blame COVID? 😉} and we want to get back to it! January almost slipped by us, but we decided to do a …
Jacob Scott
I am in complete denial that Jacob is going to be nine years old this year. Where is the time going? As crazy as it is though, it is also exciting to think that we are entering this new phase in parenting. I have definitely noticed a maturity in Jacob over the last couple months. …
Tier II

His birth was infinitely significant because of the things He would experience and suffer so that He might better succor us – all culminating in His Crucifixion and Resurrection… [But I also] think it’s appropriate this time of …
