Life in 2014

Tracy / September 10, 2014

We’ve graduated. Two months ago we had four children, four and under. Now, we have four children five and under- it’s a big step in a world that threatens to be dominated by little people. 🙂 After falling out of his crib trying to escape, we packed up our second crib. Now we only have one. Jackson is officially sleeping…

Spring on the Farmette…..

The smell of laundry that has hung on the line ….little girls playing in the yard…. I love spring. There is something of renewal in the air. Time for blooming flowers, little birds hatching, and a picture of God’s unending grace. It’s been a long week for our family. I lost a cousin this week. His unexpected death was painful,…

Our Kid Pic 2013

Tracy / December 28, 2013

You just have no idea how hard it is to take a photo of a family with so many littles…. Darby is laughing and runs from the camera… The cat wants attention… The geese come up and Jackson just WILL NOT look at the camera… Darby is laughing and runs from the camera… Meredith can’t find her shoes (which is…

roses

Tracy / August 31, 2013

Joshua brought me roses this week… Yes, I love my boys.  Yes, they are so good to me. Folks gawk when I tell them how many children I have…they see a number.  They don’t see the innumerable blessings.  Hugs, kisses, hearing “I love you” all day, watching them play, hearing them sing, having them write me little notes, and having…

It’s fun to see Zoe and Darby together…. If you remember, Zoe was born just before Darby. They are growing up together.

Lots of Work on Hope Chests….

Tracy / February 3, 2013

January found me making plans to add some specific items to my older 5 children’s hope chests (if you can call them that…they are, in reality, really big Rubbermaid boxes). Here are some quick picks on my progress: A thrifted find…one of the books on my list of “must-have’s” for each of the girls. For Courtney’s box…a fleece blanket A…

Oh, Emma…

Tracy / February 2, 2013

There is a line, I know, between allowing a child to be a child. Something about the children in trees makes me nervous…and this is one of my GIRLS.

My Hard Working Man…

Tracy / January 31, 2013

Have you ever seen a television truck? They are the most massive, amazing things to see…wires and lights all over- people coming and going. Some have rooms that expand out from the sides of the truck. Paul works as a remote television engineer for a local, Christian-owned company. His job has him up, often before the light of day, preparing…

Lazy Mornings

Tracy / January 23, 2013

Perhaps, one of my favorite things in life is when the children pile into our bed early, each morning. I admire Jacob’s balancing skills. Zoe, our young kitty, not so much. I hope I can remember each and every one of these moments when this season of life has passed and they are each in a home of their own.
