We enjoyed some perfectly warm days last month. Wading and swimming in the lake are favorite pastimes. Crusoe was particularly tired this day. I feel much braver when a sister joins me! All that red hair. We stumbled upon a carnival kicking off free summer lunches. BOTH CORBAN AND...

May started with the most beautiful weather (weather that, really, we've had for most of the summer; I mean, gorgeous!) We printed the illustrations of our books and put them on display in the Performing Arts Center at the local high school. This was so much...

Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home, When Jesus is my portion. My constant friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the...

Having a fourth child is hard. (Betcha thought I was gonna say something uplifting and inspiring. HA.) Even our great days (and there are many!) are just plain ol' hard. So much talking, touching, needing, crying, diaper changing, sock losing, complaining, laughing, screaming, eating, messing,...

Guys, I'm super sorry, but this post will be short on words and looooong on photos. No time for editing! He's already three weeks old now! And we're all doing great. So great. In sleep, in health, in nursing, in harmony. We're having a blast...

James is a funny guy. He was quite the little daredevil as a kid. Making ramps, catching animals, running all over town. But put his kids into the equation, and he has a mini heart attack. Every.single.time. And this little car with his baby daughter...

CORBAN Corban joined his first t-ball league this spring. Just over an hour once or twice a week. We've enjoyed spending time together as a family cheering him on! (And picking flowers, running around, etc.) He's our little athletic one, that boy. Uncle Jon came for a visit on...

I do so hate when my babies are sick, but they just never seem to be as still (and precious).  Liddi's started walking right at 13 months (par for the course around here) and was ready to start scootering the next week. Our weekly book one week was The Gingerbread Man, so...
