We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend in Prescott, Az. This was our only real vacation this summer and it was nice and relaxing. The weather was perfect; we enjoyed cooler temps than we have seen in several months. The kids enjoyed playing outside in the rain and getting dirty. Landon slept really well. My friend and I ran a 10K and then met the families for breakfast and a parade. We went to the art festival in downtown Prescott Sunday and Monday. I mostly enjoyed having my little family to myself; my phone died Friday and I didn't charge it or even look at it until Monday when it was time to head home.

12 Thoughts on Christ/12 Days of Christmas gift

Image
I am so excited to post this project that I've been working! In these "Twelve Thoughts on Christ" you open one card for each of the 12 days of Christmas. I have designed and written these cards as a way to refocus our thoughts this holiday season. The cards are a combination of symbols of Christmas and messages about Christ. The 1st day of Christmas is December 13th, coming up in a little over a month. If you are interested, I am selling them through Etsy.  Etsy shop  Merry Christmas!

Kitchen is Done!

Dishwasher is missing the bottom piece but still works.  Well, "works" means I basically rinse every dish  before loading the dishwasher and run it, just so my  kids will have the chore of unloading it.  I had to take pics the morning after book club because my kitchen was finally finished and still clean! For those of you who know how long this process took (6 months, 3 weeks - but who was counting but me?) you can understand how good this feels. I got a little emotional last week when I finished the glaze on the cabinets. What started out as a kitchen remodel quickly turned into a long process of fighting emotional demons and facing many setbacks as far as time, cost, health, energy and willpower go. We are finally making this house a home and for those who know how hard this move has been on me, this is saying something HUGE. We started the bathroom remodel in February, as well. (Don't ask - we're crazy.) When we finish that up I wil...

15 weeks!

(not our ultrasound, ours was garbage - thanks internet) We are expecting a baby in August of this year. Wow, I never thought I would type those words again but here we are, on a journey that is both difficult and joyous. I am taking it one day at a time; today I am pregnant so that is a good day. I am starting to feel the baby move once in awhile and am excited to feel more movement as we get further along. The short version of the story is this: we met with adoption agencies. We met with someone about foster care. We both knew we wanted to have another child but we certainly didn't want to get pregnant or try this route ever again. However, the Lord had a different plan. As we would pray about it I could feel Him nudging me, as if saying, "You don't have to do this, but if you want another baby this is how it needs to happen." How we fought that, me especially! How much I would have preferred to take out a loan and adopt a baby, not that there isn't pa...
