I am 15 weeks today in my pregnancy! Woot-woot! I definitely find that if I lay off of the sugar, I don’t really have morning sickness. Yes, I am still dealing with it. Even just having a little bit of ice cream upsets my stomach. Any sort of candy or frosting will give me [...]

I forgot to share my thrift store finds! I found another nice bread machine. Yes…that makes two that we are using. We had two going at the same time on the counter the other day. And whoa…busy times! Both work well. But, one is louder (BEEEP!) and finishes a bit faster. The bread turned [...]

Teeth. We took three kids into the dentist last week. And I am so happy to say that none of them had cavities (once again.) Thanks Lord! The dentist even commented what nice shiny teeth our oldest daughter has. The fact that she rarely eats sugar plays into that. Now we just have to get [...]

We took our oldest special needs daughter to be fitted for new AFO’s and new shoes yesterday. She did well. And I am excited, because we are ordering her her first pair of specialty dress shoes. A pair of Mary Janes! I hope they look cute I do grow rather tired of only having [...]

Our youngest is two. A very tall, large headed two year old. I love her silky straight hair and how it swings when she runs. I love how the Lord is growing her into a little girl. It makes me sad too. I am still so glad she is two. Still a baby. And that’s [...]

My Crew at Christmas!

I thought it was time to update this blog. It’s February! And much has happened since December. In a nutshell. Plowed thru home study for adoption. Found out we were pregnant after home study. Called off adoption process. So many feelings to work through…along with huge hormonal plunges and morning sickness. Not a great combination! [...]

Yes! It’s December In our home, we are cozy and counting down the days until our Savior’s birth! I had my 7 and 9 year old make a paper chain to count down the days and they have been super faithful in making sure a chain is torn off everyday. This month has also [...]

The days are getting colder. Making sure I am getting the last of the winter gear all washed up and clean for the kiddos…to get dirty again. But, it will be so nice to have it ready and on hand for when they need to get outdoors somewhat quickly. Being semi organized is very important [...]

So, my fourth child is six. He’s been looking forward to turning six for months. What a sweet, sweet boy he is turning into. Yes, we have our challenging moments But, I am just noticing how loving he is becoming. I thank the Lord for blessing us! Our son struggles with sensory processing issues. [...]

I don’t think we could’ve asked for a better month concerning weather. We had an excellent Indian Summer and we scooted right into crisp fall weather. My kids have loved being outdoors. We’ve hit the nature trail as a family a few times, and walked and walked. The kids like to take a pail and collect [...]

A family member recently contacted me to let me know that she missed the e-mails I used to send with photos attatched. I had to scratch my head to try to remember those days. And blogging. What’s that? I am going to try and catch up here a bit over the next several days with [...]

We finished our snake lapbook with my 9 and 7 year old! It’s been a lot of fun. Just tying up loose ends with this unit study. My kids seem to be at very good ages to do this. I tried a few years back and they were just too young. We’re now into warmer weather [...]

My nine year old! I really love this age that he’s at. I pray daily that I’m mothering him the way the Lord has called me too. God gives us His wisdom and insight into our parenting if we just ask. He gives it freely and without finding fault! And praying for my kids is [...]

So thankful that finally, we were able to make it to church today. I pray we can repeat this several times in a row! It is a long process to be out the church scene with a special needs child. Much time is given to help her recoup from illness. A lot of time and [...]

…Oh wait. No. Wrong season! But, I have to say that I am gearing up for Christmas! It’s true! I’ve picked out half of our kids Christmas picture outfits. I’ve spotted a setting for our next family picture. I’ve been looking at ways to design Christmas cards. Yes, it’s true!! And I love each [...]

I was able to visit my hometown over the weekend. Not an unsual sort of visit to most people. I however, haven’t been back in years. My hometown is precious to me. The reason for my physical and emotional distance from that place has been complex for me. The physical? Well, as I’ve stated before and [...]

I thought I would update a bit more on our lives. I think many people know that our house is no longer for sale. It was on the market for over 10 months. 9 months listed on our own and a month and a half with a realtor. We just didn’t want to do it anymore. [...]
