Today is Charlotte’s 8th birthday. She woke up at 1:00 am throwing up. She’s thrown up over a half a dozen times since then. Happy birthday, baby girl. This one is memorable. We’d already planned – for the first time ever – to celebrate both her birthday and Pierce’s, which is Monday, together this coming […]
Switching Clothes for the Season
I still haven’t caught up. But I caught up with laundry. So went spent yesterday and today up in the shed with its… ahem, dozens… and dozens… of totes and spent several hours sorting clothes to donate, and created a pretty massive pile of laundry. Anything coming out of the shed has to be washed. […]
Achievement.
More to say about camping when life slows down for a minute, but in the meantime, Elliot figured out how to do this in about an hour of practice: Elliot rides without training wheels
Ruby: 10.
My fourth child hit double digits on Monday. She’s so excited to be ten. Blaine took far better photos with his camera of birthday festivities, but these will have to do for now. Ruby’s awesome. The baking queen around here, if we show up anywhere with baked goods, there’s a very high possibility that Ruby […]
So. Much. Work.
Today, we packed. And packed. And got groceries. And packed. And checked bikes. I changed a bike tire tube. Oiled chains. Fixed brakes. Made potato salad. Sloppy joe meat. Taco meat. Muffins. And packed. Had Eden move all the eggs to styrofoam cartons. Checked things off of lists. And packed. Know what’s happening yet? We’re […]
Back to School 2018
We actually started school two and a half weeks ago, but we started our homeschool co-op again this past Tuesday. While the kids were dressed nicer than average and everyone had showered and combed their hair, I took pictures. I even scrambled Monday afternoon and made matching dresses for the girls. The big girls have […]
Meet Olive.
Meet Olive. Daughter of Abram and Opal, born eight days ago. She weighs 10 pounds, is an escape artist extraordinare, and has less than stellar skills at maneuvering a forest. We’ve had to go searching through the depths of the forest for Olive at least once a day for a week. Opal is a first […]

South Dakota Pride
There’s a cute boutique nearby that sells similar hats with Missouri on them. Adorable… so I put my own spin on it, and made myself a South Dakota hat. I feels slightly rude, marching around showing SD love when I’ve lived in MO for almost a decade but… I’ll wear it anyway. I made a […]

Blaine did new family pictures in our yard over the weekend. I snapped a few with my phone. I’m excited to see what he got!
