Prep Work ....

By -


So I finally start prep for your bday party … it's so unlike me to wait this long to start any planning, but I knew that we didn't have much money this year to put into a big, elaborate shindig and I kinda wanted to keep it simple, yet fun for you! So we decided to just invite the family that's here, and some close friends of yours (and ours) from church. I'm still working on finding the right person/place to do the cake – I want that to be the main thing. I have the picture in my head, I just don't know who and if it can be done... no worries it's nothing BIG or over the top, just taylored to you! And what you LOVE so much. :)
But the funnest and biggest part of throwing this fun, simple party is the invites!!! So the other day we took you outside on a nice cool, sunny morning and took your “2 year” photo shoot (even tho it's a bit early). And to make them a bit more fun for you and sentimental to me and dad – we had Georgie join you. You loved it! :) And we ended up getting some good shots too!! Even better!! :) Here's a few of our favorites …






I've also been working on your slideshow for the party too. :) It was really long last year, like 20+ minutes (go figure!!). But this year I've managed to keep it under 15 minutes. :) It's so tough tho, because there's so many fun, memorable photos of you and your cuteness!! And I guess with a mom who never puts her camera down, there's gonna be that problem. But I could think of worse. :) Your graduation party should be fun … trying to narrow down just a “few” hahaha yeah right!! :)
But going thru the photos has got me thinking of doing a special post … with my favorite photos of you thru the past two years! :) Should be fun!!

Well in others news that's not birthday … we got my closest moved out of Theo's room this past weekend (Thanks dad!!) and I even saved enough energy to get my clothes and shoes organized and put out with it right away. So now Theo's room is beginning to look a bit more empty and ready for more of his own things! :) hooray!! Altho there are still a few items that I have no idea what i'm going to do with!! haha Like my suitcase that's the size of Texas!! I keep racking my brain, trying to figure out where we can put it, yet still have access to it. (won't be long and we'll need that too!! Hello Germany!!) And then there's my normal, not maternity clothes that I've put in a bag … and they've just been sitting in the corner. So as we work that out, which I'm sure we'll figure out fast, Theo's room becomes more and more “his own”. We haven't taken many pics of the room, but i'll try to remember next time around. :)  

We love you milo man!! :)

There's No Place Like Home

This December marks the start of our 4th year in our old, cozy home. It's this time each year I begin to think of all the hard work that was put into making this old farmhouse our home. It took months of work, (mostly time of Grandpa Keith's), and lots of imagination. I remember when Daddy took me thru the first time, the place was SO dirty, run down, and in dire need of some TLC!! But the little details and charm of the place got to me and I knew we just HAD to live here!! It was perfect. I fell in love. It had so many “old” things and so much history to it; from the kitchen cabinets, to the door knobs, & who doesn't just LOVE the hand crafted cabinets?! And it wasn't just the house, it was the surroundings. The fields, farms, country way of life, and of course the location... so close to our families! Beautiful spring/fall flower collection  The wheat fields This is our road ... down by the river. BEAUTIFUL during sunset!  The beau...

{21.SEPT}

 This month was the beginning of a new season. While the younger two continued homeschooling, the older two boys began at one of our local primary schools. There were a lot of nerves and some hesitation, but after a week of it, they both found their feet and really have enjoyed learning along with new friends and teachers. September is kinda like a new year here in the UK - everyone's schedules begin again after a 6 weeks break, so it's a way to begin fresh. A lot started back up, somethings for the first time since Covid hit! So we are back to enjoying life at, almost, the same speed as 2019. Worship team is back in full swing, the kids' evening groups began back, and after school clubs are still getting going, but are slowly begin added to our calendar. But we have set out to be purposeful when adding to our calendar and have guarded our family night, our ministry nights in our neighborhood and our Sabbaths. It's taken a few weeks, but I feel we are slowly evening it ...

{21 - MARCH}

March came and went in a flash! Wow, I can't believe it's over already. It was a delightful month that helped usher in spring and more sunshine. We spent a lot of time working hard at home with school work and then celebrated our hard work with, you guessed it, outdoor adventures! And with great joy, in the last week of March, our Stay at Home orders were lifted and we were able to explore outside of our town. What fun that opens up. We also can now have one family over, outside ... so we were able to enjoy the last week of March with others and boy, oh boy, did that ever lift our spirits.  This kid broke me down and began his Kindergarten work this month!  So proud of his hard work and dedication  we've tried very hard to keep our dates with each kid a top priority.  This month I had a date with this little girl and we got some take out and went to the park.  The sun wasn't shining too much, and it was a bit chilly, but it was a joy to be out and alone with my ...
