Beautiful Calling

The children received a package in the mail from their GiGi the other day. Inside? Bubble guns; the children were over-the-moon excited. We also got several refills; when they run out, we’ll use dish soap. They’ll be having a lot of good clean fun this summer. {ha ha!} Happy Wordless Wednesday

This past week was enjoyable. Knowing that soon my time will be divided between the littles and a new baby, we’ve been thoroughly enjoying this last week. Planting flowers, ice cream treats, extra stories, fun at the park… You can’t see it well in the photo but Miss Chloe has sparkly butterflies on her big [...]

Friday May 20th was the start of the long weekend and a hot, sunny day. We pulled out the pool {a curbside garbage day find – thanks mom!} and had a little fun. There was shrieking and jumping and fun – fun – fun for a couple hours and then this is what arrived at [...]

  Our church has a Christian School and the Lord has blessed our church with a good sized property in addition to a large separate gymnasium on the property. Each May, our church hosts a Track and Field meet. Christian schools from all over the area, along with homeschoolers, come to participate. Attendance runs about [...]

Chloe arrived in our room at 6am this morning to tell DH that it wasn’t raining out and that the sun was shining. Since our new arrival will be arriving any day now, we have no plans booked and are just taking it easy. Today we grabbed KFC and went to a local conservation area. [...]

  After days of rain, the sun has made an appearance. The children are playing in the back yard and it’s lunch time; I hate to call them in. Celery and Cheese Whiz was a treat I enjoyed growing up and my tots feel the same way. An interesting {cheater?} lunch today with that, sliced [...]

May 2011 Part of the Cubbies Class (sorry to the mommies whose little people aren’t in this picture) Our Awana Club wraps up early; the awards ceremony was last week. This was Chloe’s first year in Cubbies. She finished her first book, then since she is in Cubbies for two years, she reviewed her first [...]

Little Bookworms on Christmas Eve clad in their new PJ’s. Thanks Papa and Nanny Granny!

No photo does this big bump justice! Simply Baby has been posting and I’ve been taking a break. I’m in my 38th week.  We had an ultrasound two weeks ago and they estimated baby at just over 7lbs. Based on an average growth rate of 1/2lb per week, I expect Isaac will be about 9-10lbs [...]

The weather is teasing us around these parts. Some days are beautiful and warm, others rainy and yet others SNOWY and freezing. Crazy, crazy. Daddy came home from work the other day and Chloe said, “Daddy, today would be a good day for a picnic. Would that be a good idea?”. Yes, yes it would [...]
