When You Walk By The Way Conference
I can't believe it! Still no baby! I am so thankful to the Lord for His perfect timing though because I was hoping I would get to go to the annual OCEAN Network Conference. Isaac and I enjoyed all of the talks we went to as well as the time together and seeing friends we haven't seen in a while. Dr. Voddie Baucham, Jr. was the keynote speaker. Of course he is "on fire" passionate [...]
"Progress"
Yesterday and today we have made much more progress on the Vineyard! Last summer we chopped down our hundred and fifty year old tree! We tilled the land, and today we have expanded the creek.

So to fix our drainage issues we had to extend our creek through [...]

I was in a car accident about 13 years ago that messed up my lower lumbar area as well as my upper back. Since then nothing has been the same. Every time I get into my third trimester I have "issues" with my back... more than normal I mean. I have finally found someone in the Portland [...]
OMSI
We had a great time at OMSI the other day with Nana, Aunt Katie and Gigi! It is always fun when Gigi comes to visit because we always try to do something like this!The have a great dinosaur/ fossil exhibit there right now. The kids got to make their own "stream" with sand, little trees, houses, boulders, etc... It was a blast! There were archaeologists working on fossils right there that could answer any questions [...]
