It’s 2:00 am and here I am, because sleep won’t be coming soon and I need to write this down. Preface: Blaine’s a heavy sleeper. He sleeps through almost everything. I can count on one hand the times he’s woken up to noises – and never before I had already woken up first. Until tonight. […]
Welcome to misery.
We’re in Missouri at a state park. We picked up a bug somewhere and have spent a couple days passing germs around. Everyone has gotten sick at this point and some are feeling much better. I’m hopeful that the rest will improve quickly. The church we’d intended to visit will have to wait. We spent […]
Home.
We are home from the hospital, as of yesterday afternoon. Pierce had a 30 second seizure Tuesday night at 8pm, but was woken up out of it. It’s so odd, but the neurologist said it’s a variation of normal to be able to get him to stop seizing. We have daily and rescue meds. We […]
Seizures.
Charlotte woke Blaine and I up at 5:00am Monday morning. Blaine’s done with work, we had a long list of things to do to pack up and move this week. Charlotte’s words woke me up cold. “Eden sent me to get you. Pierce is having a seizure.” Surely not. He’s never. We’ve never. He’s as […]
Time.
After 13 months of living with my parents, spread out under three different roofs, and belongings in two storage units and spread around my parent’s property, we’re making another move. This one, as uncertain as the first, but with a decent grasp of what comes next, has us headed back south. Blaine does not appreciate […]
Crop dusting, claimed seats, bare bottoms, and a boy who smokes.
We were headed to the storage unit earlier this week to pull school books out and make a plan for the new school year. We had the van packed to the gills with bags and boxes to put in there. Tape, sharpie markers, and knives to open boxes were the top items to collect. I […]
Birthday Dresser Project: Complete
The ugly dresser the Liberty got for her birthday got a makeover. The starting piece, to remember how ugly it was: Liberty sanded it and picked out a fun blue paint. She tells me she enjoyed the project. I think it turned out really cute. Not perfect by any means – it wasn’t capable of […]
Mud.
Because Liberty leads a more interesting life than I, part two. Burying tractors/sprayers/semis in muddy fields is a normal occurrence in the spring. Thankfully, farming requires large machines that can help pull things out of the mud, and farmers are quick to help. I do think they practically enjoy it, even. They hire the elevator […]
Poop face.
Lachlan’s poop face is my favorite. It’s getting published here so I can keep it forever. That’s all.
Bible Camp 2022
Five kids loaded up bright and early last Saturday morning and headed west to the Black Hills for church camp. It’s a new camp for all of them, since we joined a different church here than the one my parents had attended previously. Tonight they pulled back into the driveway, battle weary, slightly sunburned, and […]
