I guess our most recent “big” news is that Jonathan got his pins taken out last week. I could not imagine having pins taken out of a bone. I don’t want to even think about how that must feel. I gave him Motrin about an hour before his appointment. He took his stuffed animal and we left for our local…

We’ve had the flu. I’ve come to appreciate (is that the way I really want to word what I’m thinking?), germs. When you have a larger than average family, by the time illness circulates through everyone, it’s likely to have mutated and could go all the way through again. Isn’t that fun? I think most my friends realize we are…

Current Projects

Tracy / February 9, 2015

Remember the “use what you have” theme we started this year? We have an abundance of yarn we’ve been trying to use for various projects. The first was a scarf for me. I’ve needed one for years but just never wanted to spend the money to buy one so I got to work and ended up with this: I’m so…

Kylie’s Birthday

Tracy / February 6, 2015

This is the first year we’ve celebrated Kylie’s birthday as our new daughter! I made her a sour cream chocolate cake. We opened gifts and enjoyed the evening before they left for church. Jackson had the best time watching her open all the little things in her box. I was excited to find her the WillowCreek figurine of the pregnant…

Review and Giveaway: Lucado Treasury of Bedtime Prayers

Tracy / February 5, 2015

Paul and I try to have an evening devotion time in our home each day. It doesn’t always work out, but it does set the tone for a restful evening. My hope would be that each of our littles are left with their focus on a Lord who loves them and tells them to rest easy knowing He watches over…

A Day at the Park & Jon’s Broken Arm

Tracy / January 25, 2015

At some point, you realize your plans are not *His* plans. I don’t think we should fail to plan anything at all- just that when our plans change and everything seems to spin out of control, we need to remind ourselves that we’re never really in control anyway, right? I’m thankful for the Lord’s leading and protection this week in…

Baby Gifts

Tracy / January 25, 2015

We finished a couple of baby gifts last week. Baby blankets and burpies are our “go to” gifts for new moms. We had already Zeke’s mommy her blanket and burpie set but wanted to add a personalized burpie for him. The second set is for a new mommy-to-be. We attended her baby shower last Sunday. She is a precious young…
