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 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 […]
Just takin the days as they come now :) We couldn’t go up to our regular camping spot on account of it being the ever so lovely fire season so we took a trip to Gummy and Papi’s backyard instead. I was super enthusiastic about it. But really, mom named it Camp Happy and it certainly turned into such. We had the best time! Just LOOK how happy my husband is to be setting up […]
Hey, look! I took pictures! I really hate lugging around my big camera but I can’t tell you how much I miss looking at pictures of our adventures, even if I’m the only one who ever looks at them… it’s truly my only memory bank so without it I have no idea what we’ve been doing all this time. Oh wait, I know. Another longest renovation of all time situation. BUT HEY we have the […]
The kids had never been to the snow so we decided to wait and take them when there were small batches of the iciest goodness possible. Luckily, they had nothing to compare it to so they were thrilled :) They slid down this small mound with such glee… They found a snowman that couldn’t even be knocked over cause it had turned into one small snowmanish shaped block of ice… They were so happy! I […]
Last week my baby girl turned FIVE! I cannot believe we have a five year old. She is the sweetest big sister, absolutely brilliant – seriously I wish I had her memory, passionate about all the things, feisty, oh so feisty… and yet, has the sweetest most compassionate little heart. I love her so much. How often do you turn five, right?? So, Disneyland. Obviously. Because I went when I was five and was absolutely […]
^^hiiiii Noah Oh New York…I am not a city girl but NY was one of those places I was certain, just CERTAIN, I’d love. I’ve daydreamed many a time of selling everything and moving there when our house of endless projects and fixes and problems gets too overwhelming. Greg thinks I can’t handle the winters …or the summers …or the people …or anything really, BUT I THINK HE’S WRONG. Naturally we visited at the most […]
We had such a fun time in South Carolina! Greg got to hang out with his buddies who haven’t all been together in ages, the kids got filled up on friend time and I had the best time just looking around at all the pretty and watching everyone laughing and playing so freakishly nicely together :) We stayed in the most gorgeous house by the beach! It was so dreamy to wake up in such […]
