I adamantly believe that my daughter Grace has believed in Jesus for a while now. She has believed that Jesus is God and prayed beautiful child-like prayers. But last night she prayed “the prayer.” She prayed to God last night that she knew she sinned and asked for forgiveness and said that she knew that [...]

I took Grace to the Angels game last night on her birthday. It was a total add-on to the day. We basically left the house around the time she would normally go to bed. I knew we wouldn’t be able to stay long, but after three innings she was curling up on her seat trying [...]

I almost can’t believe it but Grace is five years old today. I can’t believe that I have a five year old kid. She is so much fun. We talked on the phone for ten minutes the other day when I was at work. I love having conversations with her. Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

I just had a full-on “OC Soccer Mom” experience. I drove Grace in the new Sequoia to her first day of her second year of pre-school. I walked in with Ella in the stroller and then left. Now I’m at home until I go to work at 11:30am when Bea is done teaching. This first [...]

I took the day off work today and took Grace to the zoo with my sister and here three adult kids and my brother, his wife, and their three kids. It was a pretty awesome day. We were there from 9am-3:30pm and saw a bunch of amazing things. This picture below is Grace and her [...]

I felt guilty for trash-talking Ella too much on the blog. I have had excellent sleep the past couple of nights. Last night was the first time Ella made it 6 hours. She ate at 10:15pm and 4:15am. Not bad. So thank you Ella for the wonderful sleep. She is an awesome baby and we [...]

This is just a video of Grace and I chatting about silly stuff.

Grace is playing AYSO Soccer for 4-year-olds and I’m coaching her team. I seriously love it. The kids are so cute and it’s fun to watch them go crazy all over the field. Last night we had an intense game with a team of kind of brutish little girls. They were knocking our girls all [...]

THE PINK LADYBUGSWe had the first soccer practice for Grace’s team. I used a Cinderella doll to teach them proper form with their feet for an instep kick. That’s what the pictures are of that Erin K took. It was a fun and wild time. We’ll see how they do when we kick the ball [...]

This video is from Bea’s Birthday back on May 30th. It’s just the family chatting on the couch about not much of anything. A glimpse of the wacky life of the Wakeling clan.
