Calling all prayer warriors

My dear, dear friend Mandy (one of the grad girls), delivered Ellie at 28 weeks while we were in graduate school three years ago. Mandy is currently 25 weeks pregnant with Baby Brother Gramkow, and she is having contractions. After a night in the hospital and a steroid shot to help develop BBG's lungs (another one scheduled for tomorrow) and medicine to hopefully stop the contractions, she is on strict bed rest until next Monday.

It kills me that she is so far away in Fort Worth, TX, so the only thing I can offer from afar is prayer, and lots of it. Please keep Mandy, Baby Brother Gramkow, Ellie, and Ben in your prayers.

Venturing into a new accessory

For a few months I've been debating: can I pull off a scarf for a work-day accessory? I've seen it done successfully many times, but am I the scarf-wearing type? After taking the plunge, I can't believe I was hesitant.

And, with details like these, who can resist?!

Weekend at the Lake

Kevin and I invited Britt and Ben to the Council Grove lake this past weekend. They brought their sailboat, and we spent a good part of Saturday on the lake!
