Speaking of our “little girls,” we got to hang with them over Fall Break. We went to Newport. We basked in all the minutes we could get with this girl: Even though half of our home town was there too, and we had to share her a little 😉 Ha! There was an oil spill…
I’ve been trying to get back on my “little things” bandwagon for a while now. I am so dang far behind that it’s overwhelming, so I’m just starting where I am (at least a tiny bit recent). So let’s go back to August for a minute where Lu and I found ourselves in Wisconsin again…
Can you see those little almost-rubbed-off letters on those fingers up there? There was a night a few weeks ago where this girl needed a pretty serious pick-me-up. Sometimes high school transitions aren’t a walk in the park. Especially when you want with all your heart to be independent but your eyes are making that…
I want to talk about deliberate “wife-hood.” What is that, you may ask? Well, the act of “wifing” is just as important as the act of “mothering” or “parenting.” Maybe even more-so?

…and she is in a little bit of mourning about it. I mean, who wants to grow up when you’re having so much fun? And let’s be honest, I’m in a little mourning myself. It is so rude for these precious little bundles to morph into practical adults so quickly, don’t you think? Ha! But…
I talked about Christmas back HERE, but I didn’t expand to the “big kids” Christmases and also some of my favorite gifts. And that it important to document as well! It’s so interesting how we can go from this picture on the left to this picture on the right in what seems like, honestly and…
As long as we’re on the topic of the wedding, I am going to slip in some of the out-take pictures that I want to remember…things that happened before and after the big day. (The main wedding post is back HERE.) And some extra pictures from Abby too…that girl is so good at capturing things….
This summer some friends came to town. They were staying a little distance from us, so we packed up for the drive we had ahead of us to go visit with them. On the way out the door I grabbed a couple books I had been meaning to read with my girls that a generous…
