The Redheads
A lengthy round of what’s new.
Jaeda’s been waking up later and later (read 4:00am and 4:30am instead of 2 or 3am). She eats a full feeding and would sleep again until 9:30am if I let her, but I’m determined to keep her a 1st shift girl. So I wake her up at 7:30 or 8:00 to ensure that she’ll nap twice throughout ...
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 ...
A nature scavenger hunt.
Jami invited Kira and I and our kids (aww man, they have to come too?) over to her beautiful, newly-built house for a nature scavenger hunt for our boys. Mmm…just smell that new construction! Isn’t it striking? It’s fun ’cause our boys are all 2 1/2 and our girls are all pushing 1. Three mamas, ...
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. ...
That girl and boy.
Corban’s teething again (two-year-molars). I guess it’ll end in time for him to lose these teeth and get more new ones! He keeps chewing and checking, chewing and checking. “I gotta new toof tumin!” Me and my girl. Love her (and for more than just those cheeks). She’s waving, bouncing, dancing, giggling, rolling, rocking, and oh-so-close-to-crawling. Oh. ...
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 ...
Landscaping Project
Crystal’s team from Dynamic Landscaping posted a Living Social deal recently, and as seen from the photo below, we needed something in our front yard! After two full days of four hard-working people sweating, here is our new front yard! (Waiting on our baby grass to grow…) We like that you can see our house ...
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 ...
