Please keep (or start) praying for us. It’s been 6 months now and it’s getting really really really lonely, and making the transition a lot harder than it needs to be. I could write about the 15 churches we’ve visited in the last 6 months, and why we’re still looking, but today I don’t have [...]

Continuing through the house, we come to Geneva’s room, another of my favorite spaces in our home. I suppose I will have different thoughts on children’s rooms as we have more children and as our living situation changes. But for now I like her room pretty simple, an airy place to calm down and to [...]

Michael grew up with Steve Green and I grew up with Psalty, Colby, and my all time favorite, G.T. and the Halo Express (all their songs are straight Scripture). So we have a good starting base for our children. I recenly found my old cassette tapes rummaging through the basement, which is fortunate because Psalty [...]

Eric, too, has really jumped right in learning about the Japanese culture. While Eric was visiting Japan, they were taught to make sushi from a real sushi master, and [...]

I, like many of you, have a passion for the home. I have a passion for hospitality and guest comfort, for beautiful and edifying spaces, for pride in history and heritage, for tangible peace and the presence of God. I was greatly influenced by my mother, and our dear friend Lois Wilson, who were additionally [...]
After Eric’s graduation in GA we were able to spend a week of family vacation at one of my most cherished places, the Haga farm in TN. Being there with my Graddaddy, Uncle Charles, and Aunt Peggy is like coming home for me. It’s a magical place – time slows down, life seems more simple, [...]

Chattanooga! Chattanooga will forever hold a wonderful place in my heart. Even though I went to college 40 minutes away, I spent most all my free time in Chattanooga, studying in favorite cafes, lying in grassy parks, just wandering the fabulous re-vamped art-y downtown and, most importantly, going to church. My heart will always be [...]
Geneva’s recent favorite word is “fantastic.” She says it with a huge emphasis on the “tas” syllable and then erupts into giggles. She’s recently taken to saying “the Francisco’s are fanTAStic,” which makes us giggle as well. Last month one of said fantastic Franciscos graduated from Toccoa Falls College in Toccoa Falls, GA and the [...]
