Jessa and Timothy have been experimenting with donut recipes. Amongst a few other ingredients, lemon yogurt and almond milk made these donuts absolutely delicious. REALLY. ABSOLUTELY. DELICIOUS.

Family Game Night- 2/23
Friday night is family game night in our home! These are pictures from this last week’s family game night… a few of our littles my dear mama laughing and watching over the little ones playing the big guys Ben acting out “chair” very thoughtful, older brother helping Meredith act out her word for the group I’m always thankful for these…
Feeling Worn…
I’m in an odd place right now. Some place between exhausted, weary, and knowing the Lord sees each and every little thing happening in my life right now.
Joshua and Jackson
This melts my heart… I love seeing the big boys with the smallest.
Mama’s House
Was it work, or more likely, goofing off?? I suppose it doesn’t matter much. I enjoyed the time with my older boys and hopefully, we were a blessing to my mom!
Today
Visiting with my grandmother today was wonderful. We’re thankful to have her fairly close to our family. She seemed a little more confused than usual, but still laughed and seemed to enjoy seeing us (specially my mom –she kept telling her she was beautiful!). This week has found me thinking much about time I spent with her many years ago.…

Today, my mom allowed us to go and work on her front yard. She visited with my grandmother while we trimmed, cut, cleaned and raked. We got a lot done, but there is still a lot more than needs to be done. I am so thankful she allowed us to help. Afterward, we met her back at my grandmother’s nursing…

I. Must. Buy. Groceries. I am more than a week late. I looked over our empty pantry shelves last evening and realized I can’t put it off another day. It seems like these little things should wait…in reality, this isn’t little at all and in spite of my mama’s illness, life does press forward. Today, I felt postive when we…

Mama has not felt good today. She has slept on an off through the day. When she’s been awake, she’s talked more to me about how she needs to pay her house and car off. She actually seems excited that this might allow her to retire early. We’ve discussed her staying here while she is going through chemo treatments. She…
Updating…
I’m still here. I’ve received notes from several of you and thought I should write a quick post. A week ago, on Wednesday, my mom had a surgery that should have been routine. Without sharing too much as we await tests, it would seem the initial findings are less than routine. Her surgeon said it the best, “these finds are…

I’m forever amazed how the Lord meets each of our needs. I had pretty much resolved myself to not seeing Paul until some time next week. I’m not going to say I was handling it well, just resolved. I was on the phone with a friend, when I looked up and saw a man in my driveway. Being because I…

Today has been so hard. My mama called her work and talked to them about short term disablity. It seems this process is going to be easy but means a cut in pay. She has told me she’s pretty concerned about making medical payments. I’m not sure how much cancer treatments are, nor how much insurance pays. If it’s anything…
