Thanksgiving {2016}

Spring Lovelies

"It smells like warm!" - Sammy, one of the first days we opened the windows to let the sunshine and fresh spring breezes in.  I sat playing the piano, and he sat in the rocking chair next to me, simply staring outside and watching the robins and the flowers and the neighbors.  This spring Aly was in a production of Mary Poppins, the girls hosted their very own tea party, and I sewed both my sister's theatre costume and a dress for myself. --- In between the business of the season, we spent quite a bit of time enjoying the spring weather. I would carry all of my devotional items outside and Sam all of his coloring supplies and we'd sit on the back deck together.  We also played catch, picked flowers, washed rearranged the dirt on my car, and listened to a lot of K-Love.

The 2015 Holidays

The holidays this year seemed to fly by so fast! The weather had been inconsistent all season, and we had an oddly warm Thanksgiving and snow-free Christmas.  However, I realized this year, that as much as I am not a fan of winter, this time between my birthday at the end of October and New Years Day at the end of winter break - it feels like one long holiday.  And that I love.
