The power of a primary teacher

Truman really wanted me to take a picture of him standing on the rock outside our church building. He is shaking his musical instrument given to him by his primary teachers, the Lovelace family. Today I am so very grateful for wonderful primary teachers. Brother & Sister Lovelace are so sweet. They have 3 children […]

Peaceability

Screen Shot from Power of Moms. The past week… not so great on the Peacability front. I think I failed at most of my goals… visiting teaching, birthday dinner 3 days late, keeping calm, eating loads of sugar, loving, carrying on, finances. Bleh. But it’s a new week… a new month. Icky Halloween is over. […]

“Super-Duper-Duper-Duper-Duper-Duper Windy” ~ Max

Title quote by Max from this morning. We were expecting snow… or so the rumors said. So we checked the weather this morning. Yes! ~ it might only rain. We’ll see.We kindof like checking the weather. I think for Hannah & Abe, it helps them anticipate the day so they check the temperature every morning. […]

11 years

Miss Hannah turned 11. Wahoo! We didn’t get many photos of the day, but hopefully she enjoyed a nice birthday. A few days before her birthday, we enjoyed Apple Dumplings for Sunday Brunch, a favorite of hers. For lunch, I picked her up at school and we ran to Target and Cafe Rio for some […]

13th Anniversary of Engagement

Instead of making it on a date to our engagement spot, we took the kids there to tell them about when dad proposed to mom. I’m so glad we did this! I read the kids part of my journal about the proposal. We showed them pictures that we took. We talked about eternal covenants. Most […]

Watercolor Fridge Art

I love our fridge art this month. Hannah brought this home from art class. I need to ask Abe to share his with us! I love that they still have art at the school! Never let it go people! Same with p.e.

John 3:16

We read this scripture out loud as a family tonight during scripture study. What a precious truth! God loves each of us so very much… so much that he would sacrifice His Son that we might have eternal LIFE. So grateful for this knowledge! We are loved!

oodles of shenanigans

#1. Liza thinks her doll’s bottle is out of milk and she wants me to fill it up from milk in the fridge. 2. Hannah & Abe on Crazy Hair Day. That’s about as bonkers as we get around here. 3. Tru & Liza after church. Liza found a winter hat and put it on. […]

P is for Popcorn… Autumn Leaves Theme

More Preschool. We went on a nature walk to collect autumn leaves. The kids loved it. Truman used his snatcher that he got from his birthday to pick up leaves and put them in the bucket. We sorted the leaves by color and then did leaf rubbings. The kids painted autumn leaves with q-tips and […]
