happy birthday {5 years of miracle}

And he thanked God for his birthday. And on this day–I always thank God for her…and wish she, too, could hear this sweet prayer “Thank you God for giving me a birth day.” I sat there across from him in Chick-fil-a…his restaurant of choice on his special day. His best friend by his side. (The […]

Praying for you all to have the best year ever! This is our 5th year homeschooling too! So many big things this year, my oldest daughter starts high school so it will be my first time teaching a high schooler!

Blessings,
Maureen
