First of all, I am a child of God. I was blessed to come to know Him as my personal Savior when I was just 5 years old! God has blessed me with a wonderful husband, Jamie, who puts up with all of my crazy ideas. We became parents (through the wonderful path of adoption) to a beautiful daughter, Hannah, who is teaching me how to mother in God's grace; a handsome little boy, Ephraim, who keeps us all laughing; and bossy, sweet-natured Harmony, who is never boring! We have also entered the rocky world of foster parenting, so we never know what our family will look like from week to week! We are enjoying the ups and downs of being parents and look forward to meeting others who are on the same unpredictable journey of parenthood that we are!
