Happy Birthday, Jackson and Isabelle!
Over the last couple of weeks, two more of the kids had birthdays. Jackson, our big boy, is now six years old, and Isabelle, our baby, is one year. Nicole and I are so thankful for the wonderful gifts that God has given to us. We had a great time with some friends for Jackson’s [...] -
Winter Respite
What a blessing following these last three weeks of travel, a week of class in Dallas, and a busy Sunday to have a couple of days of nothing. We have been snowed in on our little Laurel Crossing hill, and it has been a tremendous blessing. Hope all of my Highland family had the time [...] -
A Night of Firsts

It’s Train Day
Wednesday morning, I was standing in my bedroom, and I heard Jackson wake up and begin to say over and over again, “This is a special day! This is a special day!” What was so special about the day, was that Jackson, along with Mommy, Amelia, Jude, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncles Doug and Greg, was going [...]
