Some soccer, some happy, and some shoes
Went to the girls’ soccer game while we were in Michigan. Love this pic of Big Sister Abby defending the ball for Little Sister Ruthie. Check out that stride! Get it out, Hoopie! Is that a goalie or is that a ninja?? We also celebrated Mother’s Day. I know moms don’t take lots of pictures with their ...
The Farm
I grew up between country air and towering trees Vibrant flowers and rolling landscapes But observing beauty in nature is not something teens do well And so going back as an adult slams my senses. Here’s a little vision feast of a slice of my folks’ property. Find the bumblebee below. To the back left ...
Reading with Grandpa
Grandpa Steele patiently read There’s a Wocket in My Pocket more than once to pleading Corban. Now that’s a great Grandpa! On a side note, congrats to Erin for graduating college (!), and thanks for being far enough away that our house can act as a good resting place! Our friends John and Angie recently babysat ...
Some phone camera action.
Can’t go over it, can’t go around it, gotta go a different way. #itswaterovertheroad We got us some knock-knock friends. “I wanna wear da bee suit. No, I can’t wanna wear it. But I wanna wear it. Nooo!” #toddlerdecisionmaking #funatthelibrary Friend James helped Dad James hook up our bike trailer. And when I say helped, I ...
Crafts, cakes, games, and some prayer.
Lots of projects in the works. Cutting, punching, slicing–getting our kid art projects ready for Saturday’s Art Gala at CCC. Making a Pear-Almond Cake for the event as well. A cinnamon browned butter frosting. Fancy schmancy! Oh. And the same day happens to be our neighborhood spring picnic. My neighborhood gals came over and helped me ...
Sibling Labor
Taping, hiding, playing. Wondering, hogging, painting. Painting, painting, ninja-ing. Fixing, awe-ing, teaching. Reusing, gagging, refreshing. BEFORE (we even moved in) AFTER (a lot of work and a couch delivery) ((It’s actually the wrong couch, but they’re fixing that now.)) (((Wow, this pic is horrible and the blankets for curtains need to go, but believe me ...
A slice of recent life
Got myself some happy 1/2 off shoes to welcome… the snow. Not exactly the idea I had in mind. Corban’s been having some sticker color fun. Jaeda still can’t keep her socks on for love of chewing. She’s quite the rocker still, even without the sticking up hair. Corban desperately needed a haircut. I mean, ...
Thanksgiving: Myrtle Beach Style
We gave thanks while in Myrtle Beach, SC, and while we have plenty to be thankful for, it sure was easy to think of things there!
Raking: Take III
We’d already raked twice before the BIG wind finally came leaving our back patio literally swimming in leaves! Yet another homeowner responsibility that we’ve never had to do in our six years of marriage. Praise the Lord for beautiful fall days!
