OK…here are the updates! The windows and doors on the back wall are DONE! The contractor will be back on Monday to discuss finishing the underside of the roof on this side and then we’ll talk siding! I CAN’T WAIT. The little window on the end USED to be the back door…it’s going away. We’re turning that little room into…
Month: December 2013
Tonight’s Weather
It’s been a bizarre, December day. It’s almost uncomfortably warm here. We’re expecting strong storms…. Please be praying for folks in our area tonight. Thank you!
Just Blessed.
The past months have been difficult in many ways, to say the least. My children have lived every moment of this experience with me, but I guess Courtney being the oldest, has felt this with me. She is a blessing…a gift from God. She has been right by my side through this entire year. I’m just blessed to have her.…

First, thank you for the prayer. Courtney’s surgery went well this morning. She has been resting in bed the remainder of the day. I’m hoping tomorrow will find her feeling some better. I know healing takes time- I am praying it won’t take long. The house is not the same without her smiling and singing through the day. Even with…
Prayer Request…
Please be praying for Courtney. She is having a minor surgery in the morning. I know she is feeling a bit anxious tonight. I’m sure it will all be fine, but we still appreciate the prayer! With love, Tracy

This is it- my deadline for finishing the girl bathroom. Tonight, Joshua has five pieces of trim left to hang. We have a toilet paper holder that needs better wall anchors (which WILL HAVE TO WAIT until tomorrow). Closet doors need to be trimmed and reworked to become french doors. A threshold still needs to be cut and installed. Everything…
Randomness
We’ve been trying to wrap up some last minute things we have to do before Courtney has her surgery on Thursday. Jacob’s braces went on yesterday. I really thought he would be hurting today, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. He’s trying hard not to rub his lips across them too much. I think his efforts may spare him the pain…
Sadness
Some days are just hard. I keep thinking this just has to get better, but then another day comes. There are some better days, but then others, when I wake up just feeling sad. I re-live specific moments in the past year. There are many things I would like to ask her now….many things where I just need some direction….many…
2013 Christmas Parade
My older children are off having dinner with a couple of my cousins tonight. That meant I’m breaking (for a little bit, anyway), from the home improvement to *actually clean* our home, prepare for church tomorrow, and post my updates! 😀 Can you believe, last night, I attended my very first Christmas parade?! I’ve gone to allow my boys to…
Coming Along
The last two days are beginning to make me think there may be a light at the end of the bathroom tunnel! First, this is the update on the deck: One set of steps is complete! It’s SO nice and solid as a rock! Today, Joshua sat out on the deck and worked on school assignments. It’s odd to see…
Today’s Update
In the middle of growing a baby, homeschool, house maintenance, and normal life, sometimes, I’m amazed at all the Lord allows us to finish each day! I managed to fall asleep at 9:30 last night…much earlier than many nights. I still felt like we were able to accomplish many things. I enjoyed a visit with my Grandmother. She was so…

(These are pictures from yesterday.) I think I must suffer from some form of stage fright. It seems when faced with a project, any project, I gather my materials and make my plans but when I get just up to the minute to start my work, I freeze. I have to push myself on to actually start. You spend so…
