it's official

as of today, we are officially signed authors.

and so, in typical Murphy fashion, this called for a celebration.


we received toasts


and i signed


and these dolls just made sense on the cake


and this niece didn't have any fun.

we're so blessed to be in such a generous relationship with our publisher. we're very grateful to the Lord for providing this avenue for us.

steve and i talked many, many times about writing a book but never felt like the timing was right.

thinking of steve as we write, we're hopeful to honor his memory.

love
i&l
