{February Funnies}

a saturday spent at one of our favorite parks before the flu bug got us 
Phew February was quit a month! The weather was insane and couldn't make up it's mind on whether it wanted to be summer or a version of the rainy season. On top of that, it seems as those germs are rampant and EVERYWHERE. Everyone is dropping like flies and we weren't spared. When it was sunny we soaked in the time and made the best of the day ... and when it rained, well we got creative and spent days imagining we were aboard the International Space Station, did lots of crafts, read books, and watched some PBS kids.
We got some answers regarding my heart procedure and I am booked for Tuesday, March 12th! Way faster then we thought but so grateful for God's timing! This way, I can get it over with and onto recovery before all our fun spring plans.
We spent days at the park, visited the airport lookout, had date mornings out (the boys went with dad to the new Dragons 3 movie and Norma went with mommy to Birkdale "shopping"). We also spent time cuddled on the couch fighting off the flu and nights gathered around the audible version of Winnie the Pooh.
It's been an up and down month but grateful for the moments of sun in between the cold and dreary days.
Here's hoping spring is around the corner and sunshine will stick around a little more often!

we had a beautiful 70 degree day and took advantage of it 

exploring with daddy

spring is near! 

we also had a few mornings in the 60s and no rain...
so we took more advantage of that and did our school out front!

it went into croup and he spent many days cuddled up in  momma's arms

Pretty proud of this kid's engineering

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...

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...
