My daughter wants an umbrella. Why or where she got this idea of needing one, I have no idea, but for a couple months now she’s had it in her head that we need to go to the store and buy her a little umbrella. I guess I wasn’t seeing the need so clearly, forContinue reading “Good Gifts”

Books [No Longer] on Our Floor #4
Here is why the books are no longer on the floor: Not a grand photo, I know, but I just wanted to show you our newest idea for storing library books. We now have a baby crawling everywhere, putting all of Raelynn’s library books (and our reputation at said establishment) in jeopardy. I don’t haveContinue reading “Books [No Longer] on Our Floor #4”
Books On Our Floor
Yeah, I know books shouldn’t be on the floor, but if they’re lying about, that means they’re the favorite ones actually being read, not? Raelynn loves books. Her days begin and end and thrive with books. Hence, our floor is almost never without a book, or two, or a dozen. And I guess I’m justContinue reading “Books On Our Floor”

We’re just over here trying to stay warm, keeping busy with daily life, and enjoying good gifts from God! • Hatching chicks – Here’s our latest adventure.

Tidings of Great Joy
Wait. Christmas is over, is it not? We’re back to singing other songs, outdated decorations are waiting to be swapped out, family gatherings are history, and it’s time to just settle into plain old winter. Even the New Year’s resolutions are teetering, because – surprise – we’re each still living the same life with theContinue reading “Tidings of Great Joy”
Well, Hello Little One
And here it is, three-some weeks later, and I haven’t so much as posted a picture on this site (which is more than okay for anyone who has just had a baby). But I’ve been wanting to, so finally…! And since I’m not going to invest the time in writing much just now, I’ll sendContinue reading “Well, Hello Little One”
Saturday Snippets – July 24, 2021
Here are a few of our simple joys from the last few weeks… •Library books – Raelynn loves going to the library. She was especially stuck on this Richard Scarry book, wanting to find Goldbug on every page. Ben was a good teacher, and pretty soon she was picking out the bug almost as soonContinue reading “Saturday Snippets – July 24, 2021”
Saturday Snippets – March 6
Here’s a sneak-peek into a few things happening around here these days. PA Weekend – Feb. 26-28 “What so amusing this early in the morning?” I yawned, eyelids squinting against the bright kitchen lights. “How would you like to go see your folks for the weekend?” Ben grinned back at me. Go him! pulling offContinue reading “Saturday Snippets – March 6”
Blessings
You’ll quickly find that I’m no poet, But if the list wants to rhyme, well then, so be it. Midnight laughter Little girl chatter New shampoo and shiny hair A box of rice krispie treats to share Baby putting herself to sleep My own sleep, restful and deep Scrunched little face sniffing a rose KissesContinue reading “Blessings”
Yet Will I Not Forget
“Be-bee?” Her small finger pointed toward the door, a mixture of desperation and request in her little upturned face. Ben and I looked at each other, amazed. How was Raelynn remembering so well? The previous evening, our wonderful neighbors had gladly shooed us out the door for an evening alone while they kept Raelynn (blessContinue reading “Yet Will I Not Forget”
