Another frequently asked question is “How do you do it?” We really don’t know how to answer this question because it isn’t very specific. The question most often seems rhetorical because people who ask it usually add a statement like, “We only have two kids and it’s more than we can handle!” But we get it… […]
(Ashlin, Jaylin, Evain, Madelin, Trezdin, Irelin, Brealin, Prestin, Keegin, and Cohin) The larger our family gets the harder it is to capture the “perfect” family photo (one with everyone looking forward and smiling). A few weeks ago we set out to do just that but needed a good photographer. By “good” we don’t just mean […]
I (Tami) have decided that listening is one of my love languages. If I could, I would defiantly add it as a 6th prominent Love Language category to the 5 that Dr. Gary Chapman wrote about in his book, “The 5 Love Languages.” It means so much to me when someone takes the time to […]
The Christmas season is a wonderful time to reflect on the greatest miracle of all… that God so loved the world that he sent his one and only Son and that he came to us in the form of a baby, born to us of a virgin’s womb. The entire birth narrative is full of […]

The clouds began to roll in as we were making our way home from church on Sunday, November 17th, 2013. Though they appeared somewhat dark and ominous, we really didn’t think too much of it. After lunch, Todd laid our little kids down for naps, while I prepared to go with my three oldest daughters […]
Part 2 of “You can’t will a baby to live” The doctor stepped out and I called Todd on the my cell phone. It was Monday, November 24th, 2003 when the call came. It was about 10 in the morning and I (Todd) answered the phone in my office at work. Tami’s voice was full of sadness […]
In the fall of 2003 we learned that Tami was pregnant once again. At this point in our lives we were living in a pretty nice two story house on a friendly cul-de-sac in Carmel, Indiana. Things were going fairly well at the church and the bigger house was more than enough room for our […]
In 2 Chronicles 20:7 Abraham is remembered as a friend of God. I (Todd) was raised by a person who could be described as both a “Friend of God” and “Joyful in Hope.” My mother, Ruby Ann Hair was a women who believed, trusted, and obeyed God. She was a person who was set […]
One of our most frequently asked questions is, “Do you know what causes it?” Of course most people are just teasing us and Todd often answers back, “Yeah, we think we are starting to figure it out.” However, often wish we could set aside the teasing and share our bigger story. In an earlier FAQ post titled, “Did you […]
