Last year, when we were in the midst of our very first spring in this new home, I decided to plant our first garden boxes. Between chickens, and really being too busy, things just didn’t click. This year, Joshua has been busy building more garden boxes. We still have a few left to plant, but so far, so good. We’ve…

Sewing Projects…
I can’t remember if I posted pictures of Jon’s new outfits or not, and I don’t have time to look just now…. I made these out of 1/4yd of fabric and had just enough left to cut out a portion of the design from scraps and applique them on to a t-shirt. This was an EASY project but I wasn’t…

To the Rescue!!
I’m still posting pictures from previous weeks. These were taken on the Friday following our big storms. We were thrilled beyond words to see the power company rolling in… my boys, especially, loved seeing all the equipment. Oddly enough, my Mom’s company (Altec), worked to build these very trucks!! Of course, some of us (Paul!!) were a little more creative…

We’re learning some things as we go along– Puppies need a ton of play time!! This little guy will…
Life is Changing….
When did I think that life would slow down as my children aged? In many more ways, life has just become so much busier, and much more complicated. Having older children means their lives are also becoming more complicated. It’s not a sad time, (well, seeing your babies growing up is a little sad)…it’s just different. This last week, we…
Catching Up….
I’m giving it my all to catch up on recent posts today. I have some sewing projects that need my attention so I’ll be in and out, but maybe, by the end of the day I’ll be done. (Of course, that’s a *big* maybe dealing with dial-up!) I hope this little posting finds each of you well and enjoying this…
May 5, 2011
We’re here. The weather, in Alabama, was horrible last week. Paul and I sat around our table on Thursday morning with tears as we counted heads and both agreed how thankful we were to God for protecting our family on Wednesday. I’m not sure I can say some parts of this state will ever be the same, but I’m so…
