Well hey! We’re back from a magical vacation, but the day before we left we had a super sweet baby shower that needs to be documented. Our friend Lanae is expecting her first baby next month and we were happy to celebrate the occasion! We’re excited to meet you baby Walvatne! 💕
Lanae’s Baby Shower
Catching a Leprechaun {Take 4}
Happy March! This is our fourth year trying to catch the sneaky leprechaun that taunts Mrs. Landers’ Pre-K classroom. We’ve been unsuccessful with our previous traps, so maybe Tessa’s is the one that finally does it. She’s not convinced, however. We read Pete the Cat and the Great Leprechaun Chase, and Pete had a really Read More
Friday Favorites
Favorite picture: My three bigger kids do not like having anything that draws attention to them. They much prefer to fly under the radar. Poor Grace fell at school and ended up with a small fracture by her pinky finger. And this was how she felt about having to wear this obnoxious bandage to school. Read More
Thankful Thursday
I’m thankful for coffee. There’s nothing quite like a hot cup of coffee on a cold morning as I’m shuffling kids to school. I’m thankful for this devotional book from my sister-in-law. It has been so encouraging, convicting, and motivating. I enjoyed every page! I’m thankful for grocery pick up. I only wish it had Read More
Wintering
There really is nothing like watching snow fall by a warm fire. Or waking up to an unexpected snow day from school. Or enjoying the silence of a freshly fallen snow. Or ice skating on your own natural rink in the woods. Or eating monkey bread when it’s cold out. Summer is my favorite season, Read More
Valentine’s Day
Red + hearts + donuts = Valentine’s Day love (Tess still rocking candy canes, however…but at least they’re red) Max made most of his box, but waited until the morning to put the finishing touch on it: the logo for whichever team won the Super Bowl. And Grace’s cat is rocking some crazy eyes. Tess Read More
Tough Like Tessa
Last Wednesday Tessa had her 6th round of sclerotherapy. As usual, our favorite child life specialist, Amy, was there with all the fun things. It was a really hard day that thankfully ended on a very happy note. While doing the procedure, her radiologist discovered that the big leak they had discovered on the lymphangiogram Read More
Life Lately
Claire has been playing hockey, horseback riding, and hanging with her friends. They finally squeezed in a sleepover the other weekend and played outside for hours. Max has been working with Ben after school (apparently he needs money for his train set), skipping school to attend a farm show, and playing all the snow football Read More
❤️❤️❤️
Happy Valentine’s Day! I love this little holiday. Today Tess and I are heading into Grace’s classroom for some Valentine’s games and then tomorrow we’ll celebrate in Tessa’s class. One of our favorite parts of Valentine’s Day is making their Valentine boxes. Here’s a few throwbacks…. I remember this year Claire’s teacher just had them Read More
