Jacob’s Gift
Jacob won the prize for most exciting Christmas gift this year. He bought three used go-carts. He’s worked and worked on them over the past couple of months to get them ready for Christmas. (He’s also planning to sell a couple of them. It was an investment for him, too.) It was cold Christmas. (Jacob never gets cold unless he…
Birthstone Necklace
I’ve been trying to find jewelry for mamas with “larger than average” families for years! I was shocked and actually had tears running down my cheeks when I opened this lovely gift. Courtney made it. Each little stone represents the birthstone or the birth pearl for each of my children. I’m so proud of it and she did such a…
Owen’s Bunny
He has a big sister who loves him a great deal and worked very hard to make this little guy a special bunny for Christmas. He *loves* it!
Merry Christmas!
2014 Parade Float
Small town Christmas parades are the *best*. Last year, I mentioned wanting to build a family float.

My family has all helped in one…

Ants work hard! It just happens that the week before the caterpillars arrived, we were reading about the life cycle of a butterfly. When they…

Sweet Gifts
We received many very thoughtful gifts this year for Christmas. This was definitely one of my favorites: It was given by a precious little friend of our family. She gave it in our new little one’s name. (If you aren’t familiar with Samaritan’s Purse, please click through the link to read more!)
A Favorite Christmas Gift
My children place a lot of though into the gifts they buy…this one brought me to tears this year: It was unusual and so beautiful. They used the Bible verse that inspired the title of this blog, Psalm 128:3. I have no idea what made them choose this gift, but the tree on the front reminded me of…
