I love a new year. I adore new calendars. I love the empty pages where I can put in birthdays and anniversaries and special holidays like National Handwriting Day and National Popcorn Day. A new year brings the hope of change, newness, starting clean. This year has already had some small bumps that have removed… Continue reading A Bright, Shiny New Year

Happy Jesus’ Birthday! Our wonderful, post-COVID year brought several great additions to our family We added two males to our tribe!! Jameson Daniel Greene-Rettig was born in April. He is a happy fellow with wonderfully kissable cheeks. Then, in September, Rachel married Preston Bailey. It was a great celebration in Charleston. All of their living… Continue reading Merry Christmas

Happy fall! Andy and I recently got to visit fall (and good friends) in West Virginia. The trees were glorious, everyone was selling pumpkins, and the smell of hay was marvelous. I miss autumn — we don’t have much “autumn” in Orlando. Do you find peace in autumn? Please email me, I’d love to hear… Continue reading Why Are We Doing What We Are Doing?

What is something that you have been doing for a looooooong time? I have been a mom for 33 years, have been married for 36 years and have been a Cru staff member for 38 years. I have been breathing for 60 years (as of April 23rd). That floors me. And then we have a… Continue reading We Are Waiting…

Happy New Year! It is so fun to say, “2022!” especially with a British accent. Our Christmas letter (the one we sent out last month) summarized our last year, and as I was writing it I was surprised how last year was a year of blessing for us, even though it was in the middle… Continue reading It Was a Year of Blessing

Whew, what a year. As you look back, how did things change or stay the same for you? When was the first time you went somewhere you had stayed away from in the lockdown? Are you still wearing masks? I have 7 masks in my car, just in case! Despite COVID-19 and the Delta variant,… Continue reading Happy December!

Happy Autumn! It’s finally happened: Andy and I no longer have a child in school (elementary, middle, high, or college). It has been 27 years since Cady started Kindergarten. Cady and Khloe are doing Kindergarten at home this year (Rylie is doing Pre-K). Miss Murphy goes “to school” everyday with mom. Rachel is in Orlando… Continue reading Changed Lives
