On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2008. We just had another round of family photos at Sears. I always promise myself I won't go back to a mall-type studio, because I have had so many experiences of teenage photographers wasting my time and taking bad shots of the kids while they have a complete and total meltdown. Those studios are tough because they don't shoot rapidly enough to catch the kids in action, and then the space is so small that the kids are always running . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Myles
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system.

Life Lately
I love them a lot and I like them a lot. Feeling grateful today. I’m sure every mom has those moments of wondering if she’s doing it right or bungling the whole thing but today my kids made me a very intentional 2-course breakfast followed by thoughtful cards, gifts, planned skits, and then just cuddling in bed with me until were late for church. And it felt like I’m doing alright. Kind kids ... that’s the highest value. ❤️❤️ Happy Mother's Day to those of you navigating . . .

Motherhood and Loss
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from November 2007. I've just had another miscarriage. This is number 5 or 6 . . . hard to keep track. It followed the usual course: late period, positive test, but low hormone levels, followed by a quiet week of me getting my hopes up, and then bleeding, cramping, confirmation, and tears.
