{Active August}

By -
August was a blast! We filled it full of fun, adventures, school, animals, new routines, and plenty of good food! We love spending our free time out front visiting with our neighbors and had a blast during our neighborhood ice cream social... hosted at our sweet new picnic table!!! M learned how to mow the yard, T is learning to read more and more weeks each week, and as a family we made it past the 25% mark in fundraising!!! Praise God! Our big prayer now is to be over the 30% mark by our MI trip in 3 weeks. God is GOOD and BIG and we have faith in His timing!!
We are looking forward to fall and cooler temperatures... August was a HOT and muggy one. I, personally, can not wait to wear jeans, long sleeves, and hoodies again. I've been told we still have another month till those clothes come out tho... ha! But for now, we are enjoying the start of football season, apple cider, and praying for a BIG month in fundraising!!

The best blanket time E had
was when his blanket was FULL of books! 

This guy found his way into our backyard and
survived our big pup trying to play with him. 

A yucky mouth virus went thru our house and this guy got the worst of it 

We redid this section of the house for our new school year!
and we LOVE it 

This little man is growing into a find young gentleman 

that lip and those cheeks

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...

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...

So Much Thankfulness

By -

  This year, as many years before, there's SO much to be thankful for. Seriously tho, the list goes on forever. God blesses us so much every year and sometimes I think we take that for granted. His mercy and grace alone are enough to make Thanksgiving day full of overwhelming hearts and thankful spirits ... but He blesses us with SO much more. It's incredible. Not only does God forgive me and rescue me daily from my sins, He gives me a beautiful little family that loves me for me. A husband that is devoted and dedicated. A very cute little guy (that's you Milo Man!) that loves his mommy dearly and makes life so much more adventurous. Another cute guy that will be arriving oh so soon (hopefully). And parents that still take care of me, even when i least expect it.  These are just a few of the wonderful things that I am thankful for this year.  My salvation in Christ has taken on a new meaning in the past year; helping me to realize there's not much more in life that ...
