He helped himself. To juice. In a play kitchen teacup. And I took a photo – because that way, it’s far more funny and less annoying. Funny how that works. Liberty and Ruby made public professions of their faith at church on Sunday. This means they are full communicant members. Such a good day. The […]

The kids have modeled a handful of times for Bass Pro Shops. We were in our local store the other day though, and Charlotte looked up to see Elliot and herself! So fun. They’ve been in the product catalog a number of times but this is the first time to make a store display.

Happy Easter!

And… they’re all in bed. Finally. It’s been a day. Every once in a while, we have one of those days that is overwhelming and awful and there’s too much to fit in the amount of time I have before me and I have stalling, uncooperative children – and it all adds up to one […]

Charlotte brought this to me the other day. She made it. When I expressed my appreciation for her creativity, she announced it was an accident. She had no idea how she made a heart. Funny! A trip to the feed store isn’t complete without a stop to try on a sombrero! Stellan really really wanted […]

Sterling decided to see if he could rescue it. After holding, encouraging, classifying, and finally warming up the little thing, two hours in, he started […]

We’ve been playing outside more, and even got out the softball and baseball equipment the other day. I’m determined that my children won’t be the awkward homeschool kids who are clueless as to the rules of the basic sports games… slowly but surely, we’re getting there. We have practically a full team, though it gets […]

We got a new laptop. It. Is. Amazing. After the old (7.5 years old… and awful and super cheap to begin with) computer failing to cooperate well enough to do anything for about a year, and blogging on my phone for many, many months, typing on a full keyboard is pretty spectacular. And I hope […]

You know it was a good sermon when it knocks all three littles out, and you have to wake them an hour after service when it’s time to leave. (Or, at the very least, know that I got to hear all of it. Because no squirming children to reprimand or take out! Fabulous.)
