Grace like Rain

Can you feel it?!

It is pouring down all over you! Look up, close your eyes, taste it on your lips, and then take a drink from the only source that can satisfy your deepest longings.

God's grace is like rain pouring down all over me and my stains are COMPLETELY and TOTALLY washed away.

Blue skies and the smell of Spring in the air (yeah, it is only 27 and feels like 16, but IT IS coming...)

Time at home

We love to be home. I hear cheers of, "Yiipppdddeeedoooo.", when the girls hear we will be home all day. Home means...exploring streams, that we call dangerous raging rivers, finding our first worm of spring and making sure he has a safe home, snow hikes in warmER weather,
learning, picking dead things from winter and proudly giving them to mom to display as decorations on the kitchen counter, creating, searching for the perfect patch of mud to stomp in, imagining
What does home mean to you?

On another note....

I have been having some medical issues. Had to visit ER last week and had an appointment today to talk with my doc, the next step is the Cardiologist. Soon I will meet with them to create a 'plan of action'. I will update when I know more.

Beautiful March

Warmer days...snow is melting

No "Shhhhh" here....

Dad can sleep through ANYTHING!

Funny pics of Kevin sliding down the hill and the dog running up to jump on him...then they go sliding down together
I haven't been feeling the greatest so posts my be a bit short and scattered. Should be back in full swing soon.

When I grow up...


Emma: "When I grow up I want to be a scientist."

Hannah: "I want to be a farmer and work with baby sheep."

Nora: "I want to be Santa Claus."

--at least they are pretty consistent...

Questions in bed



Emma: "Mommy, when you die and go to heaven will you remember us?"

Me: "Of course I will remember you sweet pie."

Emma: "Well mom, you don't remember anything else."

Mounds of paperwork to clear off of desk

Winter beauty

A Saturday to remember

More snow!!
Daddy home for the whole day!!
Hiking in the woods right after breakfast
So much to explore
Puppy fun
On a mission to try and cross the 'river'
Beauty all around

No need for a sled

Amazing colors in a white wonderland
Snowman and Igloo making after lunch
Friends over to sled down our massive hill
James getting air
Catching snowflakes
A full day outdoors. Grilling out for dinner. Cold fingers. Cold toes. Tired little eyes.
A great way to begin MARCH!
