Yep, I know it doesn’t seem possible that Thanksgiving is around the corner but it is! Click HERE to sign up for the turkey trot. Dave is the chairman this year so obviously it’s going to be the best yet 🙂 And the reduced rate pricing only lasts until Monday. I LOVE that this run…
Well, I’m sitting here surrounded on every side by boxes of Christmas gear half way strewn around the house with Christmas music jingling. We decorated for FHE last night while watching Elf, and let’s just say Elf kind of took a little bit of precedence over the actual decorating part. I cannot believe it’s December…
It’s a pretty day here in the desert. I’m so grateful for winter here. I’m in love with the slanted light and the slight crispness in the air. I’m so grateful that Elle and Grace wear the same size shoes I do. I know, another weird thankful thing and I don’t know why I…
We are so grateful for all the people working their tails off for this event back in the desert TOMORROW: So grateful for the funds it will put toward helping BBS families. It means so much to us. And I don’t know a better way to start off Thanksgiving than getting a good run in…

We filled every inch of before and after Thanksgiving with some pretty great family togetherness, but that scarcely touched on the extended family togetherness for Thanksgiving itself. Because this happened: And this happened too: And as I sat in the midst of all that Thanksgiving wonder and chaos, I marveled that I get to be…
We got our kids home for Thanksgiving in phases. We always love to fill up the house again, especially so quickly after we had to let our missionary girl Claire go. Oh we sure thought about that girl in her new Australian home, and prayed for and missed her so much! I must say for…
