Thirteen.

The years keep passing despite my efforts to freeze time. It’s impossible to believe my firstborn son is entering his teen years today. Can we rename thirteen to something without “teen” on the end? Thirtven has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? Thrift Store Prom Oh, my Levi. Observin…

A Close Call.

We don't get many big snow days in Oklahoma, so when they come the excitement is nearly palpable. We gather all the essentials to be "snowed in" (i.e. junk food), I usually have a puzzle or fun activity tucked away to do as a family, and we bundle up to play in it as much a…

The Big Brother.

My Dearest Levi, I've never been the older sibling, so I can't speak from experience. I can only speak on who I know you to be, and why I believe God chose YOU to be the big brother. You are kind and tenderhearted. Levi, I have never known another child as innately good-natured a…
