Yep, I’m catching up! We started off October with a brand new fifteen year old: Who luckily had planned out her bday to a “t” so we could just follow directions to help her celebrate. HA! See that boy over there on the counter over there below? Yes, Max & Abby came to town to…
Yep, going back to April for a minute. And I’m sneaking it in late on a Thursday night so it can fly under the radar a little because it is OLD news by now. But I love to keep all this stuff together so here we go. April was that time when everyone was home…
I’m trying to figure out how to ever catch up in this space! A space to record what is happening in our family. It seems strange to go on recording every-day events when the world is in such turmoil. I have also wondered if it is taking too much time away from what is right…

So let’s start out with my newest HIGH SCHOOL GIRL Claire: That was her look of, “dang, I sure wish Grace were here with me, cause I’m pretty nervous, but dang, I’m soooooo excited!!” (Grace was still in The Dominican Republic and missed the first…

It all started out with Easter… …and general conference: …which were filled with goodness (I’m still re-listening to conference every now and again…loved them so much!)…and a good April Fools prank: More about those two things back HERE. Gotta love…
Old news but still good news. Lucy turned eleven and had been planning out that day for a long time. She was sure to let everyone know about the day. Even the minute of her birth (which Dave made up after her incessant asking and we couldn’t remember because we didn’t have her baby book…
Sun has set on September long, long ago, but here I am to document what happened that crazy month. (Claire took that above pic. at one of her soccer practices…or maybe it was game warm-up? But I love how she caught that gorgeous big sky with the silhouettes of the players all tiny at the…
