Because my memory often fails me. And because you can’t misplace the internet (not that I’ve ever misplaced anything important.) I took measurements of my kiddos about the same time last year. But – thinking I’d get around to measuring them later – I skipped the littles. And never did measure them. Until yesterday. This year I decided to forego… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: my babies
It’s been a busy summer. In a good way. I’ve let a lot of “regular” things slip because I wanted to be intentional about spending time with my kids. And it has been so ridiculously fun. One of the things I put on the back burner – besides blogging regularly – was my photography. I used to pull my camera… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: celebrating
On Monday Asher turned 14. On Wednesday Zach graduated from high school. On Thursday all my kiddos were officially under one roof again. And tomorrow is Father’s Day. Needless to say, there’s been a lot of celebrating going on around here. More pictures soon. When you’re ready to play along, be sure to visit here for the full scoop. To… Read More
oh christmas tree
This year we decided to venture beyond our local Christmas tree lot. And we found a small tree farm just outside of town. I’m not sure if the kids had more fun picking a tree, or playing among them. Eventually we found it. Our tree. And we brought it home. I have a feeling it’s going to be a wonderful… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {the bigger boys}
Last set of school pictures. I *think*. I might try to work Tallula and Poppy in somehow. Anyway. Here are the bigger boys. The bigger-than-the-younger-boys but younger-than-their-biggest-brother boys. Asher first. Aaaaahhhh. Nothing more challenging fun than a 13 year old boy. Mom: What is your favorite thing about 7th grade? Asher: Sleeping in sometimes. When I don’t get out of… Read More
first day of school :: round two
As I mentioned last week, I missed an opportunity to get pictures of my kids on the first day of school. And – as much as I’d intended to get pictures of them every. single. day. – the rest of that first week was basically an ugly blur. They’d come home in the afternoons with backpacks loaded with papers to… Read More
homeschooling :: one week in
I’ve been asked often in the last week, “How is homeschool going?” My response? It’s going. Actually, it’s going a lot better than I’d anticipated. I think it’s even going better than Asher had anticipated. Because after last year, and the fact we hobbled and limped, broken and bruised across the finish line of 6th grade some time late this… Read More
that time of year
Less than a week until school starts. Shepherd is going into kindergarten. Jude is going into 1st grade. Isabelle into 2nd. Sophie into 3rd. Dalton into 5th. And Asher into 7th. At home. Yes, I’ll be starting a second year of homeschooling Asher. A statement, just a few years ago, I thought I’d never, ever make. We’re not continuing to… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {the beach}
Oh my. Be forewarned, there are a ton of pictures below. It was our singular “vacation” of the year, if you want to call it a vacation. What it was was one wondrous day at the beach. And so, I took a lot of pictures. It was also Poppy’s first time to the beach. She wasn’t so sure how she… Read More
our other neighbors
I’ve shared with y’all about our next door neighbors. We love ’em. Recently we’ve been able to spend some time hanging out with our other neighbors. And, well… they’re pretty awesome, too. He’s a horse-lover. She’s got a coop full of chickens. They both love Jesus. And they have a lake. In their back yard. Their back yard being approximately… Read More
