Whew, life is certainly a whirlwind these days and probably isn't going to slow down for some time. In the meantime, here are some pictures from my mom from our time in Richmond. Enjoy!

Multitudes again
*a post from a looooonnnggg time ago that never got posted* (better late than never, right?)
For those of you who don't know about this Gratitude Community that is keeping my blog alive (albeit barely alive), please read about it and drink deeply from this sacred blog (I know, it sounds like an oxymoron to associate "sacred" and "blog" but really, it's true for this one.)
*Adam's last day of work!
*For God's provision for our family through his job for the last two years
*Seeing an old friend
*And enjoying her hospitality
*And conversation with her
*visiting the legendary Wheaton College
*Katie's complete awe upon opening the doors
