It's a hard balance. One that I haven't worked out all that well. Just trying to stay sane, ya know? It was great seeing you at She Speaks! So nice to put a face with a name. And I hope it's cooler in Houston than it is up here. We're roasting. Thanks, Heatherly. It’s a hard balance. One that I haven’t worked out all that well. Just trying to stay sane, ya know?

My boys loved it. So much in fact that they insisted on playing three rounds of Connect Four when we were done. Great seeing this weekend, Jenny. You're even cuter (and funnier) in person than you are online! It’s very cute. My boys loved it. So much in fact that they insisted on playing three rounds of Connect Four when we were done.

Intelligent. Funny. Loyal." Even if I were talking to an "Anne." And I was talking about you just yesterday as a mutual friend of ours and I laughed about your experiene on a certain She Speaks elevator and your assessment of it. :) Well, my friend, if you could overhear anything I’d say about you, it’d all be good.”Committed.

My theory is that we must band together or there will be tyranny. Mind-numbing amounts of camouflage and Legos explosions everywhere. See, we're friends already. Ariel Ema, another mom of all boys!

And it does my heart good to know that the devotion spoke to you. There is nothing in the world so terrifying as seeing your little one hooked up to machines in the ICU. Glad to hear your daughter recovered well. Here's to happy endings! Ariel Shelly, I’m so glad you tracked me down! And it does my heart good to know that the devotion spoke to you.

I just read your devotional over at "Encouragment for Today" and had to track you down. I'm so glad I did. I wanted to tell you that your story--about the pneumothorax and the NICU--is also my story. My youngest daughter was born with a pneumothorax, then developed pneumonia and a bad case of jaundice. She was in the NICU for a week, but, unlike your son, she was the biggest baby in there, weighing in at 7 lb., 12 oz.!! She looked like a giant! I know what you mean about fear turning to faith because that's exactly what happened for me. After about the first 24 hours, I just knew that God was going to protect her, and I really didn't worry (too much) after that. Thanks for sharing your story. I haven't heard of this any other time besides ours, so it was great to compare notes and to thank God, once again, for giving me my precious now-13-year-old girl! :) Hi Ariel!
