What’s Black and White and Already Over?
I made a centerpiece last month. I had noticed this on Pinterest and I thought it was cute. It wasn’t exactly what I was looking for though, so I adapted, and imagined, and shopped my house until I had this.

Slow Saturday
This is the first Saturday morning in a very long time that we don’t have to go anywhere. I almost slept in. Aron was sure to come in the room at 7:45 to tell me that it’s morning. He didn’t know it, but he and Owen had already woke me up earlier wit…
Looking for Opportunities
We run to the van, ready, but barely.
One last boy to buckle in and we can leave.
He makes it out the door and down the steps but I honk, because he’s left the door open.
We don’t have time to run in for the paper forgotten.

Sacred Winner!
Well, after a little hiccup with my connection to the internet, I got the names printed, cut, folded neatly and tossed into a bowl.

emotions are like smells…they linger
get rid of them as soon as possible, vent, open window etc.
Just Close Your Eyes
“mom the sun is in my eyes!”
You can close your eyes, because you aren’t driving.
Isn’t that what God asks us to do?
We complain about hindrances to our calling and He shakes His head saying…”rest, I’ve got this.”
Easter Sunday Photos
I’m a little behind on photos and uploading and dishes and vacuuming and reading and pretty much everything else in my life, but I’m having a good time.
Easter was almost a month ago, but just so I took a few pictures of the boys and figured I might…
