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…
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…
December 12, 2014
(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…
Today…
Not much to report today. I managed to insulate most of the new bedroom. Of course, that meant pulling out the Great Stuff. (In case you missed that first fiasco, you can read HERE.) I was amazed what a difference insulation can make. As I finished, the room became warmer and warmer. I had no idea it was so drafty…
December Fellowship
I’m sorry for the last minute change in plans. We must cancel our fellowship tomorrow. Our family just has too many things happening at the moment. The Lord willing, we’ll see all of you in January! With love, Tracy
Saturday Work
Yesterday, we worked away on two projects. The first, is the drywall of the new hall. (It’s hard to believe this hall didn’t exist just months ago!) Joshua finished hanging the drywall. It has had two coats of mud now. The Lord willing, we’ll have the light switch cut in and the room painted in a few days. Then bring…
On a Sunday Night…
On a Sunday night, the house is quiet compared to other days. We’ve been to church. We’ve enjoyed fellowship time with our church family (today, until almost 4!). We’ve visited with friends …who are like family. Some are sleeping. (Sunday is made for relaxation and restoration). I smell food simmering in the kitchen for dinner. Matthew, Jessa, and Ben are…
Abundant Blessings
A good friend dropped by yesterday with an early Christmas gift for our family. It just seems the Lord sends the most unexpected, wonderful blessings– and at the most perfect times. FRESH lemons picked from a family tree!! (In case you are wondering, it was Y U M M Y!!!!) She also included little things like peppermint bark, whole tea,…
House updates….
I’m not doing such a good job keeping up with the house pictures. I’m told Courtney is doing a MUCH better job over on InstaGram. Of course, you won’t hear the fun stories from her. If you see us very often, you know we’re making some progress, (or maybe just a big mess), since we are most always paint splattered…
Courtney’s Birthday
…and she’s 22! I remember so well looking over at her under the baby warmer just moments after I had her. She was so beautiful. I could hardly believe she had come from me! (I think I say this every year, don’t I?) She is 22 years old now. TWENTY-TWO! It’s hard to believe that many years have passed. How…
