After a three day whirlwind trip to South Dakota, we are back home with a full horse trailer and moving truck and our storage units there are empty and keys returned. All of those things, along with anything that has been left at my parents, is all here. Littles has been unloaded, but it’s here […]
Lachlan: 13 months.
Lachlan is starting to talk more and more. I caught a cute video of him the other day. He’s becoming a joy – such an improvement from his early months.
Shaping up.
We spent the night in the new house for the first time last night, 13 days after we bought it. We lack most of our furniture, only the kids rooms are finished with paint, and there’s so many projects to finish. But it was getting colder at night in the camper and I was over […]
Making it a home.
I have had so much to say but don’t have internet connected yet at the house and our phones don’t have signal at the house. It’s delightfully remote. But, there’s never time to write when we’re in town. So… here’s a post, written Sunday evening 10/9, to be posted when I get to town next. […]
Soon. Very soon.
We’ve been feverishly looking at houses. We’ve put so many miles on Eden’s poor little car it’s not even funny. We’ve driven across central Missouri so many times. On Monday, we made plans to see another property outside Jefferson City. At the last minute, the realtor we’d been somewhat displeased with anyway cancelled on us. […]
Charlotte Serenity: 12, and a little update.
Charlie turned 12 today. It seems crazy that my kids are all getting so big. #5 is nearly a teen! I didn’t treasure the years of the littles as much as I should have. Charlotte chose monkey bread for breakfast, and made it herself. We had zuppa toscana for supper, and angel food cake with […]
Fishing.
The kids have done a ton of fishing this month. They’ve not caught so many, but it’s been a lot of fun trying. (And a good bit of mud in the one spot!)
Lachlan Hyde: 1.
Lachlan turned one year old earlier this month. He remains one of the more serious of my children. He feels a strong sense of justice and routinely lets everyone know he’s not getting his fair shake. Lach does a belly worm crawl, pulls to standing, and walks if I hold his fingers. Everything goes into […]
My Story
A woman I knew many years ago used to refer to the events of life as the playing out of the story God wrote for each of us. It’s stuck with me, and struck me more than once when circumstances played out in what could only be understood as ordained by God. When it seemed […]
Ruby Alexandra: 14
Ruby turned 14 on Saturday. After busy Labor Day weekend made us struggle to get a campsite for that night, one opened up and, while we had to move sites (the fifth one in seven days – we’re getting good at breaking camp!), we got to stay in this campground at least. Boondocking on her […]
