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 ...
I never used to cry.
I never used to cry at weddings until I got married. Only then did I realize how intensely you can love how critically you can speak how boldly you can share your soul how deeply you can hurt how passionately you can be received how profoundly God will work through His tool of your spouse. ...
A sick baby, some sun, and a dining room.
My baby was sick last week. Just a 36-hour thing. 36 hours of eating, sleeping, and snuggles. Three… two… one. Some peekaboo. Sun. And swings. Love my new baby carrier. So does Jaeda! We painted the dining room this weekend. (This is just primer.) Ended up taking the doors off to sand and paint them ...
From the mouth of a toddler
God has used Corban in our lives in many ways. Isn’t that kind of Him? To use the very being that we are trying to mold and shape in order to mold and shape us? Here are two recent ways that God has revealed Himself to me through my son. :::::::::::::::::::: “I see one more ...
Intricacies of a Monday: Taking Joy in the Mundane
Water to spare, steel wool for cleaning Eyes alive, gums gnawing, teeth coming More than enough, opportunities for patience (through that striped item) Capturing the precious the messy Exercising the mind and taking a break Those fingers, fully formed since before she was born forever curious, grabbing, pinching, pulling Chubby digits grip, push, imagine The ...
Babysitting Fun and Hashtags
As the fill-in babysitter for the past few weeks, Owen and Corban and I have had some great play time. Here’s a little peek at some of the ways we’ve passed our time… We got these great new cars from Grandma Steele. Owie and Corban enjoy playing with them…everywhere! #cheektocheekshot Owie was fascinated with the beetle ...
Responsibly but Irresponsibly
This weekend was so fun for us (and so needed)! Responsibly, I got a weekend babysitter ahead of time. Irresponsibly, I let Papa take Corban…and pay for our lunch. Responsibly, we went to a marriage retreat. Irresponsibly, we went out to dinner afterwards…at 9:30pm. Responsibly, we ate at a fancy place for not such a ...
From the lens of my phone
We had our first trick-or-treaters. This pile of dirt was found just within my kitchen. Have you seen my kitchen? It’s about the size of this pile! This should not be so! Babysitting has left my car full and my heart. Love caring for the babies of friends. Corban loves stirring and pouring. Water’s a ...
A little surreal
In honor of my five-year college reunion, we ate a free pancake breakfast in Alpha dining. The place where we first met, first dined together, first flirted, first fought, first pranked, first dreamt. We were now back with our two kids. Didn’t see that one coming! Got us all fancied up for the dinner that ...
