Cohen arrived this morning. “Hey Nana!” he shouted on his way to the refrigerator. He quickly announced. “Nana- I’m hungry for breakfast-  real bad. I looked in your friderator and you’re out of milk for cereal!” (he had eaten first breakfast at home but was ready for second breakfast at Nana’s 🙂 ) Still enjoying […]

If Parenting is comparable to the task of laboring long hours, in blistering heat, during the summertime; then GRANDparenting is like harvesting and enjoying the fruit of your labor in the crisp, cool season of autumn!   Children are the reward of our youth but GRANDchildren are the GRAND PRIZE from the hand of the Lord!                            [Tweet “Children are the reward of our youth- Grandchildren […]

I’m Sarah, oldest of Jeff and Cindy’s kids, now in my “30’s” (ewwww!) and mom to hilarious, clever, gorgeous daughter Finley (6) and handsome, silly, brave son, Cohen (4).

[panel style=”default” title=”About Cindy” text_align=”left”]Jeff & Cindy

Hi, I’m Cindy- 35 years of “livin” with my prince charming, Jeff. I’m a home maker, not a house wife, parent of 7, memory maker, mama bear, Nana to 11 & counting, Pastor’s wife and I’m daily amazed by the depths of God’s love.

I love reading, home schooling, encouraging others, playing the piano, worshiping, dating my husband, and planning parties and retreats for our clan. Someday, I really want a horse and learn to play the cello and viola.
