Randomness From Family Game Night

Battleship with Ben. Five Little Monkeys with the littles. Dutch Blitz with the older children (they taught me to play!!). I love Friday night with my children….they are loud and happy. I wish I could capture each and every moment of these days.

My Boys

Paul and I try weekly, to take some of our children to town with us. We run errands and do our shopping…we enjoy their company. This past week, I had the privilege of sharing time with Jacob and Timothy. We had quite a bit to do, but managed to stop and pick up lunch. I’m a blessed mama. I sure…

Additional Photos….

Joshua came to the hospital, to wait with me, while my mama had surgery last week…. He brought his computer and worked while he was there. I was so glad to have him. He reminds me so much of Paul sometimes. The view from the surgery waiting room is really beautiful. On this day, high up in this tree, were…

The Flooring Progress

I saw this note left for the family today regarding the progress of the new flooring: It’s looking great! I can’t wait to post pictures. This will be the 5th room we’ve finished with plywood-to-plank flooring.

Much has happened recently.  Things with my mom, and with my children.  Paul hasn’t been home more than a day- he was home for all of 18 hours yesterday. I guess I’m not complaining, I’m maybe just tired. I find myself, at this point, just…

Ice Skating in February

I’m late posting these pictures, but better late than never. *smile* Weeks later, Matthew has a massive bruise on his arm, and Joshua pulled something in his leg, and most all of them loved the entire experience and want to do it again!

Family Game Night- March 8, 2013

Ben talks Grandmommy into Risk (I warned her….) and the littles playing Don’t Wake Daddy- Meredith REALLY enjoyed her ice cream…

Courtney

….and so we’re courting. Through a long-time friend, we’ve met a very sweet young man. It’s a long story…and I will share at a later time when there are a few more minutes. We’ve been praying, and his family has been praying. I know if nothing else were to come from this time, we have made life-long friends with this…

Courtney

She said she’s wanted to try toting them both: They were all grinning!!

Library Time

Mama introduced Meredith the library computers last week… Grandmommy opened a whole new world to her. She was a sad girl when I told her we needed to head home.

March 15, 2013

Thank you for the prayers for my family. They have been much needed, and appreciated. These last few days have been some of the most difficult of my life. Monday, I was home. It was just a normal day for our family. I *so* miss those days. Tuesday, we went for a tour of the chemo lab and met with…

Transformers

When you think you’ve seen it all, this zooms down the interstate: Before you ask why I was snapping pictures and driving, my mom took these pictures from the passenger seat on the way to her doctor visit. Simply amazing….we’re not Transformers fans but this was neat!
