I'm not sure how, but we happened to miss our September update!!!
I'm guessing it's prob due to the fact we were kinda busy in October. ha
So here's a little recap of the month of September for yall.
We began the month in prayer for our church and family in Stockton-on-Tees.
We spent a lot of time outdoors as well, knowing cold and winter was right around the corner. As a family we took a few hiking trips and a camping trip too! We celebrated a birthday and got to enjoy our first ambulance ride with one of the kids! Scary stuff! And we ended the month back in the ER trying to find a lego someone swallowed... Life is never dull! Oh, how I love our crazy days. 

praying with some friends for our British brothers and sisters in Christ 

dirt fights and late nights! 

celebrated this guy's NINTH birthday! 


a family favorite for game night ... Ticket to Ride 

south mountain! :) 

we even brought the pup and he enjoyed a good long afternoon of swimming! 

love our adventures

LOVE fall bonfires 

a day of school at the nature center with friends and hiking

such a little reader!

our goof ball

birthday set up ready! 

our little girl had a scary morning in Sept.
She woke with a rapid heart beat that was making her feel faint.
We got her down, and got the heart back to normal rhythm, however she was still having some bad side effects,
so per doctor requests we got her some help and took an ambulance ride to the children's hospital.
Spent the morning getting tests and being monitored.
It's a HUGE praise to say, after a few follow ups and a MONTH of wearing a monitor, she has shown no other signs or symptoms and will be seen again in 6 months.
Praising God for his provisions and hand of care 

our fun friends game night!! 
CATAN LIFE SIZE! 

M's Bday Party! 

our family's first SOLO camping trip outside our yard! 

we had a blast! and our campsite was great! 

spent time in the dark watching bugs and moths come to the light 

and took funny glowstick pics!

nothing like waking to the sun in nature!!!
AHHH it was wonderful 

so happy together! 

what a great memory! Can not wait to do it one more time this spring! 

ending the month in the ER ... waiting to see if we can find a LEGO.
UPDATE: they couldn't find anything, and he is fine and dandy now! ;)

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 ...
