Sorry I haven’t been very good about keeping this up like I promised my mom I would. I shall try to do better. We just got back from the most wonderful little trip to the lake that filled up my whole cup of happy. There’s something about lakes that makes everything move a little slower in the best sort of way. A few pics from the trip :) The bravery :) ^^the dog that couldn’t […]
We officially have a 6 year old and a TEN year old! How?? Howww??? Noah wanted to have another go at ice skating, clearly forgetting all the previous times of tumbles and tears. This time was no different and we had the pleasure of witnessing the whole spectrum of human emotion once more on the ice. But I think they still had fun even if they were begging to go home half way through and […]
Tritmas is sadly, now officially “Christmas” in my kids’ heads and next year I just know candy cans will officially become candy canes so since all the brilliant people in the world can’t put their heads together and figure out a way to freeze time so I can replay the Tritmas’, and candy cans, and kitty cat bars and all the things they say that I will now never say any other way, I shall […]
I just love this place. It’s so magical to me, the way the forest glows and the leaves swirl all about. We have officially been land owners for two whole weeks and decided it was time to do a weekend camping trip, so here are a few pics from the place we might just one day call home! Abbie of course got bit by a hornet moments into unloading because NATURE but luckily she was […]
One month of figuring out the lovely new land of Tennessee.. Here are some bits and pieces of what we’ve been up to! Been exploring (and being bit by) all the new bugs! Spontaneously bought a new flag and was so glad I did because everyone has one on their house and it just makes me so happy :) Such a blessing to have the sweetest friends here! Snuck my plant here under the guise […]
Just a few pictures to remember this house I loved so much. Seems silly but I can’t seem to come up with the right words to say about it. It was just a house after all but it was more than that. It represented God’s faithfulness over and over again and heartache and growth and healing and so many wonderful wonderful memories and celebrations and births and deaths and discouragement and renewal. All I remember […]
We had so much fun making our way across the US. I was especially blown away by all the landscapes and uniqueness of every state. Every time the scenery looked like it was beginning to change, sure enough we were close to a state line. It wasn’t without it’s low points (I see you, exit I missed in the dark that added a whole hour to our trip when everyone was oh so very tired) […]
…and some of the last. Because I’m behind. As usual. This year has been such a whirlwind! Homeschool has been non-stop but oh so fun! I was helping in the kids program at BSF which doesn’t seem like a big deal but it took up two mornings each week, which, in homeschool land is a lot. I just feel like we’ve been go go going and I’m so ready for the slow days of summer. […]
I do apologize. I think it always takes a while to process a trip but looking back on these pictures, I’m reminded what a wonderful trip it was and how BEAUTIFUL God made the world! I’m reminded of the wonderful people and customs and streets and towns scattered all over the planet that make us smile and bring such joy. What a gift to be able to explore such things :) so let me show […]
Time just seems to be f l y i n g by! My brain can’t seem to comprehend that it’s already fall and where on earth did the time go and what happened to summer and and and! I can hear Abbie’s little voice in my head saying, “mom can you just sit with me?” and my answer is almost always, “ya just a sec, I just need to ….” There’s always something isn’t there? […]
