I totally missed last week. Not only we were deep in the trenches of bible school every day, but I’m still kind of getting used to being on summer break again (yes, even after two weeks). There is absolutely nothing serene about four kids being home every day, but […]
I thought about taking a picture of something patterned this week, but then I thought…no, it would be kind of fun to make a pattern out of pictures. We dropped the big two off at overnight church camp yesterday and headed to the playground. Truck, plane, plane, truck, plane, […]
There’s a lot of yellow in our yard, so I took my camera out to find it. Look mom, no training wheels! Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that Alison of Writing, Wishing and I are doing this year (again!). Don’t […]
I’m eating my breakfast now, the breakfast that I forced myself to finish cooking before I sat down to write this. I’ve had a super annoying habit lately of burning my food when I get even the slightest bit distracted, so while I cooked it, I thought of all of […]
Every year, during the week of Kansas’ birthday (today, January 29!), the kids’ school lets the kids bring guests to eat lunch with them. Erv and I went this year (yesterday), to sit with the girls during the first lunch and Henry during the second. These are some views from […]
I’m not a foodie, or a baker, and I don’t take particularly good photos of food or baked goods.

Today is my mom’s birthday, and it’s a pretty big milestone. The kids […]
Yeah. This is late. Motivation around the holidays is tough. I’m just going to finish up there year here, kay? Dec. 21 Christmas celebration #1, with our family in AR. Dec. 22 We went to see a movie with my good friend and her kids, Aunt Ginny and […]
Ah, 2014. I think it was a good year. It was often uneventful, but challenging. I had some failures, and some accomplishments, and hopefully, they balanced each other out. 2014 was the year I sent another kid off to school all day, every day, when Essie went to kindergarten, and […]
I can’t believe the year is almost over. Dec. 14 We went to see a local production the Nutcracker, infused with Kansas history. Dec. 15 Christmas program day (with a cowboy theme), and the day my son and daughter took their first selfie together. Dec. 16 […]
Dec. 7 I just can’t even with the Build A Bear vest and the sleeping puppy face. Dec. 8 I don’t seem to have taken a picture, but I did share this one of Erv at 8 months old. Dec. 9 Reading some bedtime stories in the morning. […]
