We went on a tour of the Compassion Experience today. We met up with Peanut's friend from school and her mom. We hoped for our children to get a glimpse of what it's like to live in a third-world country. God, please develop in them a compassionate heart to help those...

Best Kind of Friend
I have a friend who consistently sends me something in the mail (for holidays or "just because") even though I'm horrible at returning the gesture. She is truly one of a kind. It always brightens a busy momma's day when I get "Mail" the old school way and especially...
Gyoza Party
The girls enjoyed helping Mimi make gyoza (Japanese dumplings). The best part was eating them while they were still hot, of course. Having Mimi here is like living in a Japanese restaurant.
Halloween Candy Buy-Out
Candies, Candies, Candies - too many candies! After a successful trick-or-treating night, we let each of the girls pick out 15 candies to keep out of their stash. Peanut and I took the rest (along with all the leftovers from the candies we bought to pass out;...
Fall Walk
MiniLu and her new bestie from school. I joined them on their fall walk today and saw that they are truly two peas in a pod. MiniLu loves school, she loves her family, she loves life...she is just full of love, period. #shemayhavewings #Godisgracious
Outside the Box
I was reviewing this worksheet and about to explain how a nest weighs less than one pound when she interrupted and said, "I know why I got it wrong. I thought I'm supposed to count the tree too." #lifewithpeanut #alwaysoutsideofthebox
Run 4 Life 5K
It was a great morning! It rained before the race but cleared up by the time we started. As I ran through the beautiful Cleveland Park with my new friends from the Y, listening to songs about my amazing God, I was just filled with gratitude: I am so so glad that we...
Visitors #9
Another set of friends from Jacksonville visited us here in Greenville: JP, Liz, and their 4-month-old baby girl Yahna. I think it was love at first sight for Yahna and Nator. He kept gently putting his hand on her hand, and she got super excited (flaring her arms and...
Visitor #8
Grammy came to visit us for 5 days! All the kids had so much fun with her, including Nator. She came in time to join us for the Fall Festival at the Y on Friday night. On Saturday, we took her around downtown Greenville. At night, we enjoyed trick-or-treating with her...
