This weekend is our marriage retreat! As I mentioned in an earlier post, back in like late Oct/early Nov my husband and I signed up for the marriage retreat planned by our church.

The other day my husband and I were enjoying dinner, the baby resting in her bassinet and Biggie at our side, when my husband said to me “we make a great team”. It made me smile to hear that, and I thought, we do! I thought about those words again this morning after finishing up an article… Continue reading Like tandem bike riding…our new role as parents
