Callie's Contest of Courage by Jan May ~ Book Review

This review copy was given to me by Jan May, the author of, "Callie's Contest of Courage." All opinions are honest and are my own.

My daughter, Lynzie, author of the blog, Thoughts From a Young Writer, recently reviewed this great Christian fiction book for girls. Make sure to check out her review if you're looking for some good fiction for your preteen girl!

The Homemaking Party --- Liam Turns Four!

Remember reading about our miracle baby, Liam? Well, he just turned four years old on Monday! Every year I praise God more and more that he is here with us---alive, happy, and well! Liam wanted a Bob the Builder birthday party, and since we do our best to make birthdays super special around here, that's exactly what he got!

Liam loves John Deere tractors so Grandma Christy sent him a new one---complete with a couple little people to go inside. He opened it and said, "Hey Dad, is this a hunting truck?" Yes sir, that's what it is!

Every baby is a miracle---even if they've got an absolutely perfect birth story! I'm especially thankful for my sweet boy today. Happy Birthday Liam!
