Is That All You Have?

Stronger Than Before
Our oldest son has always been a big guy. When he was born, he was so large that his collarbone was broken during delivery. We couldn’t pick him up under his arms for at least the first 6 months of his life because the bone had to set right in order to heal. So, weContinueContinue reading “Stronger Than Before”

Because of the expenses of airfare and other means of travel associated with a longer distance. Being closer to home, would provide them the luxury toContinueContinue reading “Come Back Home”
