A Couple Major Family Updates

I originally titled this blog "Our Joyful Wanderings" to depict our various travels throughout Europe, but over the years I'm learning that the title is really more indicative of the life that the Lord has led us in to. Over the past seven years Glenn and I have lived in Mississippi, Alabama, England, Louisiana, Nebraska and now we are about to add a new state to the list: Conneticut.  That's...

Introducing Cohen

About two weeks ago my friend Heidi FINALLY gave birth to her little baby boy.  This is baby #2 for her- her older boy, Jackson, is Devon's best bud.  Those two kids are hilarious together, so I'm pretty excited for a third boy to be added to the mix- even if it'll be a while before he can...
