Lunar Eclipse
The Earth positioned itself between the sun and the moon, creating a full “blood moon” lunar eclipse. Though I didn’t take this picture (we had more wispy cloud cover), this is what it looked like at 4:30 a.m. this morn. It is always so amazing to go outside in the still & chill of the […]
Knuckles Dude
Truman adores Scotland. He was more than delighted that he was the one who got to sit by Scotty in the van. Over the past few weeks, he has been very gentle with the new babe. He is also teaching him how to be cool! Knuckles Dude! Rock & Roll Baby (Truman says this in […]
I BELIEVE IN FAMILIES!
Since this bloggie is a record of our lives, I think it important to note a few world events going on. As of late, Traditional vs Gay Marriage has been in the courts. Yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court decided to NOT hear same-sex marriage appeals from Utah and four other states, which means that the […]
A Jolt of Anxiety : Ramblings of a tired madre
My mind is generally a whir of thoughts at bedtime. I’ve come to realize I have the familial tendency towards anxiety & worry. Oops! One of the “natural man” tendencies I’m here to overcome, I suppose… or at least endure until the resurrection. I certainly don’t mean to fuss over things in my mind. Oh […]
Hannah’s Kindle
All summer long Miss Hannah worked so hard here at home and babysitting for neighbors to earn money for a kindle. She wrote a proposal letter to mom & dad outlining her plan, her agreement for Kindle usage, etc. It was a very responsible move on her part. She did spend much of the summer […]

Heidi Hair turns to Glorious Kinks
Liza and I have been watching Heidi lately on the vhs tapes Grandma gave us. Liza loves the part when Heidi falls and Clara & Peter save her. It’s very dramatic! Liza lets me braid her hair like Heidi’s. We love that we can see her darling face. She won’t keep it in long as […]
This is what God gave me time for
The past few days when I feel anxious about trying to get stuff done around the house, or take a shower, or do just one simple errand … and am unable to get to those tasks because I am calming a fussy newborn for hours, while assisting Liza on the potty every 20 minutes, or […]
Grateful for these moments
4:23 a.m. As tired as I am, I’m grateful for this moment. Little bug Scotty curled up in burp mode. He’s still tiny (but GROWING fast). Baby squirms & sighs!! Here’s our September Round-up. I’m grateful for these moments! 1. Tru has a talent for setting the table. He was thoughtful & gave me the […]
