pride

the opposite of what i want to do, that i do.

control is pride.
self loathing is arrogance.
order is power stealing.

“Nothing sets a person so much out of the devil’s reach as humility.”

~Jonathan Edwards

“Come … learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart”

~ our Lord and Savior (Matt. 11:28‐29).

behind me

he's back...it's done...it's over!!!

this test that has consumed our lives for over a year now is finally finished and with it the END of residency!!!!!!!
(just two tiny years of fellowship yet to go! hee hee hee!)

i feel like we all took it...even though only dan flew to florida, sat in miserable humid heat and was tormented by two days worth of endless, awful questions!


i awoke this am to an amazing man sleeping quietly next to me! ahhhh!
we are praising God...to Him be all the glory!
it's off to nor cal now, for some much needed family time!

hurray!!!!!!

our hero

to all the amazing dads that fill our lives...
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!

we love you all!!!!

here in LA we celebrated our special guy with a fancy new BBQ...his first one ever! (all the others we had over the years have been hand me downs!)

his old faithful charcoal style one finally gave up, with the bottom literally dropping out of it!

we love our guy...plus,he makes a killer BBQ dinner!!! :)

as i write this, dan is in florida, preparing to take his big end of residency exams...two days of torture!

he has been so faithful in studying, so persistent, so patient!
we are ALL praying for you dan!!!

my girls

four years ago
i captured this sweet picture of my little first-to-be-born-girl

two weeks ago i watched as she helped
our exclamation-at-the-end-girl do this!

they used the exact same stretchy scarf!
which, if you know me at all, you know it's no small miracle that it lasted four years in my house!
i love my girls!
