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 […]
…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. […]
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? […]
Well, now that we are solidly into 2023, let’s remember the entirety (HA) of last year, shall we? Cause apparently I didn’t document any of it. I was trying to remember what we did… we didn’t really travel anywhere special or do anything of significance… just lots of ordinary days, spinning on by! I still like to remember such things :) Maybe one of my favorite things I did last year was taking the time […]
And by lately, I mean a few hundred pictures from the last year or so ;) And this is without taking many pictures these days! But I’m already forgetting so very many things so here’s my attempt to sort through the highlights. We miss these wonderful people so very much… they were off to their next adventure in England (like a year ago, ha!) so obviously fish and chips and pictures of the queen were […]
We are all VERY excited, clearly, to be starting school again. We have a FIRST grader!!! A KINDERGARTENER!!! And HEY we’ll call him a preschooler AKA participating in the art of distraction ;) Goodness as intimidating as it is to homeschool, I can’t adequately express what an honor it is to get to teach them. The conversations I get to be a part of just melt my heart. We have our Voice of the Martyrs […]
This week in our Bible study we are supposed to share our story with someone which, considering the masks and lockdowns and screaming children that seem to always be accompanying me, has proven quite difficult. So I thought I’d share it on here. I’ve always struggled with telling it because I don’t feel like there is much to it – simple version: I grew up Christian, the end. But the truth is, I consider myself […]
Shall we take a stroll through the weirdness that this spring and summer have been? What have you been up to? We’ve missed you so much! Mostly all of our spring was spent sunbathing naked and watching this bird. Or hotel of birds. My goodness those guys were busy. They went in and out in and out all day it seemed! And I STILL never got a good picture. Oh but how I love spring […]
Because it’s one of my most favorite days of the year! Just lookit these babes all snuggly in the morning watching the parade from on top of their brother And because I clearly can’t get enough of these faces.. Or these little heads.. They are my favorite. Also, Fall flowers are my favorite so let’s take a quick pause to look at 292 pictures of these beauties! I felt like making a cornucopia this year… […]
I suppose all my posts from here on out will be catchup posts ;) I’m currently trying to find activities that can be done from a lying down/ hacking up lung position. My voice left me last night and has been replaced with something that one might expect from a demonic man, causing Greg to beg the question, “tell me truthfully, have you welcomed Satan into your heart?” Not kidding. He’s so freaked out by […]
