Our First Party

This past Sunday we hosted our first party in this new house! The rooms were all full of laughter and children ran from place to place. I hope everyone enjoyed their time here as much as we enjoyed them visiting. This gathering was for a sweet friend as she celebrated the pending arrival of her seventh baby. I’m so thankful…

Famiy Projects

A few things we’ve done over the last few weeks: A new tetherball set for the kiddos- Courtney votes for the FIRST time (and is now, a sitting, elected official in our county!!)- A new, simple quilt for Meredith’s first birthday- “Chia Paul”…a result of a gardening project I did with the children-

I’m not sure if we’ll have time to post in the morning. Tomorrow, Matthew turns 11. It’s difficult to imagine that eleven years have passed since his birth. His arrival marked many changes for our family. His arrival brought joy once again to a family filled with grief following the passing of Paul’s mother. I will always think of him…

Tracy / October 23, 2009

(At almost 4 months!) Just one reason why blogging hasn’t been at the top of the list lately. Isn’t she growing so big?! She just makes my heart melt. *smiling* God has blessed us- she is precious. : ) With my love,

Neat Week!

Good Morning! Wow! We are a little in shock that yet another Thursday is here! It’s scout night so we’re busy making the necessary preparations for tonight’s meetings! I have to admit I woke up feeling a bit sluggish this morning! Although, I loved the sweet and salty granola bar, and it is lower in calories than a candy bar,…

Tracy / August 31, 2006

Getting up at 5 in the morning is not nearly as exciting as I wish it were, but it does allow me to capture the sunrise and most importantly, to get a fresh start on my day before my family is up and roaming around. I wanted to share with you a little this morning of what has been on…

Toothless Grins…

I‘ve been still working away today. Family businesses are a passion for my family and I. We hope to have enough profit generated from our businesses that it will eventually flow into income for our children should they decide that this is where the Lord would lead them. We are working on a website for families wishing to begin this…

Just Say No!

We’re pretty good around here today. We always have something going on. Today we’ve been sealing seams in our new hall flooring. We chose composite vinyl tile. I thought that it might look too “industrial” for a home but I’m really pleased so far. It’s been very inexpensive, very easy to install and seems to really be withstanding the floor…

Just Smile!

Today is Monday. We’ve been trying to finish up some things that we started over the weekend. We’re also cleaning pet cages and doing school work. We had a pretty good weekend. My Mom came to visit and made beef stew for my crew. It was delicious! I truly enjoy weekends that involve getting something done and allowing me and…

They Are HIS Gift!

Tuesday morning! Well, it’s actually afternoon here. It’s been a nice morning. I’m happy to say that we have a registered domain so it should be a little easier to find us on the web now. I’m thankful today that my Mom’s Dr. appointment went well. She has another today…please pray health for her. I’m also thankful for all that…
