but they will never be the same...

now is the time


“Where is the one who has been born 
king of the Jews? 
We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.” 
Matthew 2:1b

Making a Memory

While I braved the stores... 
kids and Grandma cookie time.
Two birds with one stone.

an apple a day.

"Hey mom!  I bited you this heart!"

Now my kids are starting to show interest in
little things, 
and what joy that brings me!

gluttony

of the coffee kind.
is the cup too small
or
is 12oz. of java juice just too much?

Goodwill Goodies

Somebody stop me.
Lately, I can't resist the lure of a good thrift store.
This truth cost a cool $2.99.

fun and games

There's a first time for everything.
In our nearly 15 years of marriage,  we've once played Scrabble.   
Last Sunday night. 
First and perhaps last?
For the record... victory was mine.

an expensive joy.


My 10 dollar mistake caught too late. 
But somehow the car wash redeemed it's pricey self with this colorful display.

healing light


The candles we lit 
to participate in 
the International Wave of Light 
on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day
Each October 15 from 7-8pm in every time zone across the world
candles are light
to remember,  to honor,  to heal.

in with the old



found:  these hand-crafted treasures
at the antiques market
but greater still was spending the hour browsing with my daughter.
"Everything was better a long time ago."  she said, filled with awe.

Like Grandfather, Like Grandson.

by grandson's account,  a successful hunting trip.   
grandfather would agree. 
no deer was tagged,  but memories were made.
*this photo captured on a motion detection cam.  as they left the woods*
love these two, dearly.

one of my favorite motions of the day,  when retiring this towel for the evening.

quiet times

changing the way we do mornings since August 2011.
ever thankful that the book,  that speaks to me, 
also does kid speak.

up in the air


I had more fun than expected chasing down this hot air balloon tonight.
  A regular night of mini-vanning turned to an adventure.

an olive branch

A heartfelt love note
penned following a meltdown.
Forgiveness ensued.

it only takes a spark

first, last, and one of the best campfires of the summer season.
i'm thankful for relaxation and respite.

I am blessed with truly talented,  and gi-normously generous friends.
Love this applique affixed on a onesie for lil' Naomi.

penciled in.

more like written in stone.  the first day,  another year.   
wishing today that I could just erase back to school from the schedule.
