Recent-ness…

So, I’m not even going to apologize for my recent absence here on the ole blog.  We’ve been busy doing life, ya know what I’m sayin’? But I did feel that it might be a good time to post an update in case anyone is genuinely interested and/or following along.  😉 So, today is September […]

{quarterly update…..*sigh*}

Oh, where does the time go?  It honestly doesn’t feel like almost 2 ½ months since my last update.  It feels more like 2 ½ weeks.  But I guess that’s what happens when life gets busy. So, to update…. Ryann has officially finished 7th grade and Kamri has finished 5th.  Grant was following a much […]

{epic blogger fail…..}

Sometimes I seriously question why I even try…..this blogging thing is tough to keep up with.  Sheesh! But then I look back at posts from the past when my babies were much more akin to ACTUAL babies, and I remember……even if I post rarely, I’m still documenting our lives and will be able to hold […]

{weekly rewind ~ January 4, 2015}

One of my goals for the new year is to post updates on the our little family more regularly…hopefully weekly, but we’ll see.  Hope no one is holding their breath on that one.  This week was pretty uneventful.  Husby worked Monday-Wednesday and was given Thursday and Friday off for the holiday.  While he was at […]

{a new year ~ 2015}

Every year, I sit down to write out a post reflecting on the past 365 days.  And every year, I feel like there are no words adequate enough for such a task.  We’ve all turned a year older, we’ve welcomed a wonderful new blessing into our lives, and we’ve grown even closer as a family. […]

{a challenge for the home…}

I don’t know about anyone else, but my home has felt a little wonky lately.  This could be caused by a number of things…..but I’m pretty sure that my current level of sleep deprivation plays a big role.  When I’m exhausted, I’m cranky….and when I’m cranky my whole family suffers. So, when I saw that Courtney […]

{beautiful exhaustion}

It’s three o’clock in the morning and I’m awake…..again…..for the 100th consecutive time.  Maybe it’s the 112th….who can keep track anymore. I’m exhausted. My eyes are burning. I can barely hold my head upright. And I know that tomorrow is going to be a L-O-N-G day. They are all long days lately. But then I […]

{a belated update….}

Does anyone else have an issue with time flying by at breakneck speed?? I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that this post has taken me four days to write……four. days. Life seems to be passing so quickly these days that I can barely keep up. These kiddos are going to be […]

{little luxuries}

I can remember being a kid and cruising down the highway in my mom’s car with the windows rolled down, the radio playing Amy Grant or Reba, and my hair blowing freely in the wind.  It didn’t matter how hot it was outside……this was just the way things were done….and I loved it! What in […]

{weekly recap ~7/13-7/19}

This week has been absolutely FULL of activity!  So full that I’m thinking I might need a small break!  Haha… We started off the week by celebrating this girl’s 12th birthday on Sunday….although we didn’t celebrate with family until later in the week.  I still can’t believe that we’ve already come this far.  It seems […]
