This month has been lovely. If you read my last post (here), you know that God has been working on my heart and mind. That's all I'll say on that matter... this post is dedicated to the lovely month of January! SO much goodness came this month. School in full swing, our first visitors, and gorgeous new parks. So without more delay....

This little man got a big boy haircut and really seems to be enjoying toddlerhood

we found an awesome trail and wood area behind our neighborhood! 

I spy with my little eye... something PINK

We SO enjoyed our weekend with Aunt CiCi! Sad we didn't get more photos with her, but we had a great time!
we went to the nature center, stayed up late, went to the library and she even got to witness our first broken bone in the family! haha it was a wonderful visit, sweet and good for my heart <3 
if only you could hear the laughter this photo captured. Bath time buds! 


Our trooper! Broke his hand helping daddy put up our fence 

nothing too major, but man it looked ugly

pure sweetness

it SNOWED! only for a day, but it was beautiful and lovely. Just what our homesick hearts needed! 

made our home feel like Narnia 

The real deal ... of course in green

we spent a Saturday morning painting and somebody really got into it 

these three and their adventures

A gorgeous sunday spent exploring a fabulous new park! 


COME ON! Can you believe this is January!?!?! 60 degrees and NO clouds.
We were in paradise and enjoying every second of it!

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...

PRAISE GOD!! It is with the greatest joy we announce that our family has made it to the 50% mark in our monthly fundraising goal! Praise God! With that being said, we are setting new goals and continuing on with eager anticipation as to how God will work in the coming months. We've set some goals and are praying to be at 80% by October so we can attend the month long pre-field training near Asheville, NC. Our goal is reach Stockton-on-Tees at the beginning of the new year! In other news, God has been answering prayer here in our simple way of living in our front yard! I am writing a post dedicated to how God is moving and what we are doing, but until it's all done, I'll just recap it quickly. God has been bringing folks to our yard, expanding our friends in the neighborhood and making old things new and beautiful. Our front yard is now a gorgeous oasis of light and beauty and we are excited to have more summer meals, parties, and conversations around the new rock p...

Sunday morning, watching The Pond before church  Well we finally have some form of internet out here in the boondocks. ha! Hopefully that means more posts... but I wouldn't hold your breath. So until I get better at this blogging things and keeping things up to date, here's a little recap and some fun highlights of where life is now. (and of course there's tons of pics at the end and thru it, because, well, i'm much better at capturing life then writing about it! ha!) First, Highlights! -Eddie is a cruising baby now. Dude, you are amazing at pulling up on just about anything and have only taken a few little falls. Determined to get to where you want, there's not much that keeps you still now, except food! You love food. Recently learned how delicious Ritz crackers are and watermelon. Bananas are still a fav though along with any fruit really. -We began fundraising!!!! WOOHOO! It's been a week on the trial and we are sitting at 8% already. Our goal i...
