Posted on November 22, 2012 by Elisabeth Moody

Thanksgiving is such a great holiday. It’s all about gratitude, God, family, food, togetherness, football and beginning of the Christmas season. I know, I know, there’s shopping involved too, but I love that we don’t exchange gifts for Thanksgiving. It … Continue reading →

Send a Hug Across the Miles

Posted on September 19, 2012 by Elisabeth Moody

With only one grandchild—and him living on the other side of the country—I’m sure it’s a little hard for my parents and Stephen’s parents to really feel like grandparents all the time. I like to send them things from Silas … Continue reading →

Daddy Love

Posted on June 20, 2012 by Elisabeth Moody

Mother’s Day Is For Me?

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Elisabeth Moody

First Easter Egg Hunt

Posted on April 8, 2012 by Elisabeth Moody

Kind of. Egg hunts are a bit ambitious for a one year old. I had about 25 eggs with a couple jelly beans in each. After lunch we went to the park with friends, and I spread the eggs out … Continue reading →
