Creed James: 1.

May 17, 2021 by Adrienne

Creed James, boy who loves balls, swings, music, adrenaline, and food, turned one last week. He took the day celebrating him in stride… I think he’s catered to enough that it wasn’t all that out of the ordinary for him. He dug into his cake, opened his gifts fairly well after several sibling demonstrations, and […]

May 2021: so many changes coming.

May 6, 2021 by Adrienne

Charlotte finally saw an orthopedic surgeon Tuesday. She’s in removable wrist braces that go just partway up her arm now. So much better! She’s feeling little pain and antsy to be back to regular life again. She’s super over the unlimited kindle privileges and just wants to do things for herself again. She’s limited to […]

Charlotte.

April 24, 2021 by Adrienne

We visited with friends today who moved a few years ago that were back visiting. Charlotte was grabbing and riding a swing as she pushed it into the air and she fell – landing on both hands. She broke both wrists. She’s in splints for the weekend and will see an orthopedic surgeon for casts/braces […]

Happy Easter!

April 5, 2021 by Adrienne

We had a restful Easter. Church, a meal together (fail: I made a ham earlier in the week. Didn’t think about ham for Easter. So in an effort to not double up in one week after two days of ham/leftovers, we had roasted chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli, and homemade rolls for Easter instead. […]

10.

March 6, 2021 by Adrienne

Baby #10 is much anticipated, due late September. ❤️ We told the kids on Stellan’s birthday. He said it was his favorite present.

Aggie.

March 6, 2021 by Adrienne

We sold Aggie last night. We’ve said for a while it was time. She’s getting old, doesn’t obey the littles very well, and the older girls’ riding skills have surpassed Aggie. They need a younger horse. Liberty told me yesterday afternoon she’d put the last bag of feed in the feed barrel. If we’re going […]

Eden Rayne: 16.

February 20, 2021 by Adrienne

Eden turned 16 on February 1. It was a whirlwind of a day. She went for her driving test, waited and waited at the DMV, passed her test (in the old 1988 GMC pickup, same as Liberty – I’d love to hear what the cop that gives the test thinks when they walk out and […]

Sickies.

February 19, 2021 by Adrienne

It started last Thursday. Creed woke up congested. A cold was starting in my head, and I cringed at dealing with it. I had no idea what was coming. By Friday it moved to my chest. Friday night, half of the kids had symptoms. Liberty and Eden were miserable, Creed was super miserable, and Ruby […]

The Jolly Green Giant

February 19, 2021 by Adrienne

A couple weeks ago, my van broke down. We were on the interstate, in the dark, on the way home from our homeschool co-op. The older four kids were at a friend’s house, so it was me and the five littlest. The oil light came on, things were weird, and I pulled over, fearing an […]

Sewing project.

January 25, 2021 by Adrienne

I made Creed a couple pairs of boots… and an extra, too small pair for when I thought erroneously that 9-12 month boots would fit my 8 month old son. Turns out, his feet are also big! I’ll use the too small pair for a baby shower I’m headed to next month. That was on […]
