October. I've always loved the month of October. The changing seasons, the lovely colors, the smells, the anticipation of holidays that are around the corner. This year ... it did not disappoint. We enjoyed watching the world around us change from green to wonderful oranges, yellows and reds. We took walks, went trick or treating for Halloween, played games, enjoyed a school break, visited a priory, and learned more about our community and what it looks and does in the autumn. 


trick or treating with friends 

the kids made the dog a crown for Halloween 

a new walking path went right thru an epic forest 

pretending to fly on their broom 

the kid loves cooking and made us a nice soup for supper one evening! 
it was a big hit! 

and this man, he likes to bake. He's mastered the chocolate chip cookie 

our littlest loves finding books of his own, 
and this month Daddy read one of his new favorite... 

what a sweet face. 
We are always so glad to have him around 

the priory 

a tractor we found at the farm shop we visited during term break 

We met Amanda Owen - The Yorkshire Shepherdess 
and a few of her children at a book signing on High Street

I love watching our kids get loved on by others ... 
this group of young adults has been so welcoming of all of us. 

second family rocks! 

biscuit and tea fundraiser at school :) 

a spent a nature afternoon listening to the seasons of Vivaldi 
by the pond. 

absolutely breathtaking 

LOVED this section of my walk to pick up the boys ... the colors were so bright! 

learning about porcelain painting ... and tried it first hand 

he's always so excited 

the tunnel that eventually had a yellow leaf road! 

Saturday Sabbaths have become a real source of refreshment and together time. 
More so then when we all homeschooled.... 
LOVE seeing them play nicely together 

a special date night out! 

We spent the evening eating on the beach, watching the sunset, chatting and play games. 
What a treat! 

new glasses for us all! 

game night! 

we are a tad bit obsessed with The Mandalorian right now 

Autumn has been good to us here in Mill Lane

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 ...
