This morning we catch a plane for Louisville, Kentucky, where we get to spend the week with Dad and Jan. We'll also get to visit with Grandma Wilcox, who lives nearby. Please pray for a safe and uneventful trip. We're giving Meg one more try at being a lap-baby, but she's pretty active and wiggly these days, so please ask God to give her an extra measure of peace in those little limbs when we board the plane! (Thanks soooo much to the Sheffers, who have loaned us their portable DVD player--that will make a huge difference!)
Not sure whether or not I'll be updating the blog while we're away. But Meg and I return home this Sunday evening, while Dave stays to work the New Attitude conference. Then he'll fly in late on Tuesday night. I'll be sure to post an update after we're all settled back at home, at the latest.
Au revoir, Maryland--we're headed to the real south!

capturing memories :: sharing laughter
Who We Are
David and Cara
Most happily married since October of 2003, we love Jesus Christ, each other, our wild and crazy kids, and serving our beloved church. David is the Ministry Teams and Tech Director at Covenant Life Church; Cara is a wife, mama, homemaker, avid reader, writing-lover, and novice home schooler. Our life isn't what you'd call exciting (though there's never a dull moment), but we love using this blog to share glimpses of our days with our far-flung family members. Even more, we love sealing the grace of God in our hearts by writing down [a tiny bit of] what He's doing in our lives.
Meg
At nine years old, our Meggie is a beautifully unique individual. Her defining characteristic is her irrepressible and contagious zeal for life. She gets excited about everything. She loves people, new experiences, books, school, dance, writing, and taekwondo class. In many ways, she sets the pace for this loud and affectionate brood of ours.
Matthew
Matthew, seven, was born with a sparkle of mischief in his eye--I have the post to prove it. His number one goal and gift is making others laugh. After that, he likes to create stuff--cardboard-and-tape stuff, origami stuff, Lego stuff, zany and offbeat craft stuff. The best part? This funny and creative package opens to reveal a wonderfully tender heart.
Esme
Esme Rose is a five-year-old fairy princess in disguise--or at least, we're pretty sure that's what she believes. Even her daddy (who is not given to the fanciful) says that she was made with an unusually high ratio of pixie dust. Other ingredients include independence, cuddles, stubbornness, sweetness, spunk, drama, fierce flying hugs, and a highly developed sense of femininity.
Graham
Even going through a pretty terrible Terrible Twos isn't so bad when you're also the doted-upon baby of the family. Graham is an expressive, comical, joyful, demanding, feisty, talkative, passionate little bundle of a person. He adores trucks, airplanes, and all other things that go, doggies, clothes, and being outside. He gives killer hugs and loves getting kisses. We can hardly remember what life was like without him.
