Born Again

It’s hard to imagine that this small, sweet, angelic, innocent baby girl could be born with the stain of original sin… …but it’s true. Today we got to witness and experience a miracle! Our precious little Genevieve was washed clean. What a joy to know she has been given the gift of the Holy Spirit,… Continue Reading

Spicy & Sweet

(referring to the title,) Can you guess which one is which? Well, I’ve been saying it from the moment Genevieve entered the world….These babies are complete opposites!
