… that I haven’t been around much this week. There’s been a lot going on. We’ve had a stomach virus. A birthday. A new job*. And someone rapidly approaching crazy-lady status at losing the one who is now at that new job a crazy number of hours. Most of all, that last one. Praising God in all of it. *No,… 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
settled
We’ve been here for a bit over a year and we are finally feeling settled. Which is great for lots of reasons… The girls are cheering for the itty bitty football league we have here in town. And they love it. Isabelle, for obvious reasons. She is not only allowed to run, jump and scream… she is encouraged to. And… 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
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
hello, summer.
I didn’t get it done. The weather simply has refused to cooperate with my plans to get a Sunday Snapshot of the birthday boy. But I’m not giving up. For now, since the weather still doesn’t look like it’s going to cooperate, I must move on. School is out. And as I’ve done in years past, I’m doing a quick… Read More
the hoop
I love it when God smiles on me. I love it even more when He smiles on my kiddos. And on Sunday, He did just that. Dalton has been wanting a basketball hoop since… well, forever. And time has only caused it to intensify. He has a basketball – or the nerf version of a basketball – in his hands… Read More
headed for home…
We leave in just a few hours. All packed up and ready to go. Next stop Hong Kong, and then on Wednesday night, at 6:30 PM, we’ll be home. Just had to get one last picture of Dalton, enjoying one of his favorite things about Shamian Island. And here was his big brother 2 1/2 years ago, doing the same… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {Shamian Island}
For my last Sunday Snapshot here in China, I figured I should take advantage of the scenery here on Shamian Island. And get some pictures of my kiddos. Some more pictures of my kiddos. *ahem* This afternoon Miss Tallula made it clear that she is getting more and more comfortable with us. Which is truly a beautiful thing to see…. Read More
Tallula: the rest of day 4
I so want to be able to sit down and write all there is to share about this little whirlwind. But, for now, I can barely manage the pictures and a few words. She continues to amaze me with her all-day smiles and easy-going attitude. Even when I have to tell her no – to electrical outlets, jumping off the… Read More
