Bruce and I took the most incredible trip to southern California last weekend. As we boarded the airplane (without checking strollers at the gate or lugging over-flowing diaper bags or getting “those” glares from the other passengers) we were trying to remember the last time we had flown together alone without kids… 2009. Four years ago. Before I move on with the rest of this post I want ...

Do You Trust Me? {lesson from the Horse Whisperer}
When Knox arrived a year ago, my other three little guys experienced chaos and upheaval. For a solid 6 months (2 months before the birth, at least 4 months after) stood a tired and highly emotional mom. Our relationships suffered. My boys just didn’t trust me.

Good for you!The Time Her Deafness Taught Me to Listen
There are so many stories to share with you from what’s been going on in the Mac home ; funny stories, injurious ones, happy-news ones… But first I want to share this particularly story from my past (my pre-kids, pre-Dallas days).

I grew up in a ‘wake up first thing and open presents in your pjs’ kind of family. My little brother and I rarely overslept. Having the love language of gifts, my father (and therefore us) found great delight on Christmas day. How could I forget the year my requested Barbie dream house sat next to the piano? Or the year we discovered two full-size go-carts ...

My {in process} Story
Heather, I so appreciated your comments re: our inadequacy to portray those intimate moments we experience in God’s Presence. I want to share them, but wonder if I ever get it across the way I experienced it. So, thank you for that encouragement!!
Thanks Nancy for your encouragement! So great to see you the other day at the Presidential museum…such a great position for you. Your warm smile and kind manner…perfect!
Did y’all go to Laguna Beach? Pretty sure I recognize the coastline in your pics. Reid and I lived there for a year after we got married – just two blocks inland from the main beach area. We go back every July and I just love it there. So glad y’all were able to get a chance to get away – such a special time together – and to a special place
Good for you!
