It’s important for moms to recognize that all the small successes in our days can add up to one big triumph. So on Thursday of each week, we do exactly that.

1) Giving birth to my newest, biggest baby.  She is a sweetie and we are so glad to be coming home from the hospital today, my birthday.  By the by, thanks Mom and Dad for giving ME life 29 years ago.  I am profoundly grateful for this and all God’s many many gifts.  Baby is a joy, and it will be wonderful to return to our other treasures at home.  Haus Meister will be coming back to get us shortly. 🙂

Please pray for good health for all of us.  Three of the younger kids came down with a stomach bug while I was away, but they are recovering well.
