Gigi or Not So Much?
One afternoon, while playing quietly on her own, or so we thought we found our silly girl hanging out with her K-9 pals and a friend that appeared to look just like herself. In fact, this ‘person’ had even taken her clothes. Take a look…

March
I don’t know if I am the only person who has had trouble this year. But it seems really strange to have Palm Sunday before Saint Patrick’s Day, and Easter all in the same week. Add to that Spring Break and that equals a fully loaded MARCH.
What will we all do in April?
In our little world, there are several signs that Spring is defin [...]
Yet One More Talent…..
Spring time discovery!
This weekend, we did a little <very little> yard work (clean-up and surveying of the damage caused by another Winter). As we walked around the yard to plan out what needs to be tackled this Spring, we noticed that our Aspen grove seemed really sparse compared to how it looked in the fall. We were very puzzled [...]
Finding Power in Weakness
Lysa TerKeurst
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

As a result, this year our devotionals have become more interactive and not so ‘preachy’… what a blessing.

Project 100
No, it isn’t some secretive government project, rather it is a fun project for school kids these days. Recently Hay’s class reached this milestone, their first 100 days of school.
Days proceeding this rather fun day, we as a family were called to a mission, that mission was finding 100 little somethings that would reflect Hays [...]
Your Mother’s Daughter.
Aside from my little girl’s charm and wit, she really is a mini-me.
She has the same sweet little temperment (ha!) as I do. She can, at the drop of a hat, show her spicy little temper.
As funny as it is to watch, we are really having to guide, teach, train her how to channel that frustration. It isn’t pretty! It is really e [...]
You can’t go snowshoeing again&...
I’m old enough to know that it is impossible to consciously try to repeat ‘good times.’
Over time, we have gone on trips to places where a year or two before we enjoyed some of the best times of our lives. However, when we returned, it just wasn’t the same. Different phase-of-life, different expectations, who knows? [...]
