Where to even begin…. Fifteen plus years ago when Brian and I got married? That’s probably a good place to start. {wink} The truth is, I remember having conversations with Brian when I was pregnant with Elliott about what “school” should look like for him. But soon, those discussions revolved around questions like, “What should… Continue reading 24-25 First Day of School…For ALL of us!

Last Day of School 2023-24
Yes, we did finish the school year last year. No, I have not caught up with life enough yet to document it. But I’d better get it in before we start school again in September!! We had a very bittersweet end of our school year because it marked the end of an era with our… Continue reading Last Day of School 2023-24
Elliott the Teenager
Are you more shocked that Elliott is 13 or that it’s taken me this many months to post about it? Elliott had another epic birthday, but epic in a way that none of us were expecting! We scheduled his fourth annual capture the flag birthday party for a Saturday in March. I have said it… Continue reading Elliott the Teenager
Selah turns 11
Selah’s birthday landed on a Sunday this year, which, in my kids’ eyes, always makes life extra special. When special events fall on a Sunday, that means we get to celebrate with our church family! Our church is quite small–we have around 120 each Sunday–and so it truly feels like family. And in this small… Continue reading Selah turns 11
First Day of School 2023-24
It feels a bit like a tornado blew in in May and has swept our little family from one month to another so quickly that I truly cannot keep up. There were delightful things that happened during the summer…like Elliott getting to work hard with his daddy helping his grandparents. He got to do “real”… Continue reading First Day of School 2023-24
Jaxon Drago
September 23, 2023 brought a mourning into our lives that will stay with us all, in some form, until our last days. At times, the grief has felt almost too much to bear. We loved you so much, Jaxon. Jaxon was always making us laugh, and the last time we saw him was no different.… Continue reading Jaxon Drago
2023 Last Days of School
You guys. We start school in two days and I haven’t even posted about their last day from last year. You are probably wondering if my kids actually passed their last grades. The kids had their last day at their “out school,” we did two days of exams and then had their End of Year… Continue reading 2023 Last Days of School
Elliott Epically Turns 12
Well, my friends, we officially have a pre-teen for the first time ever. What a marvel to watch these little people on their journey towards adulthood, growing more in the grace of God and the image of Christ with each passing year! As I’ve mentioned in the past, Elliott has declared that the only thing… Continue reading Elliott Epically Turns 12

First Day of School 2022
Well, we are kicking off our last year of both kids being able to be at our sweet little classical Christian school together. When we first started this school, we bumped the kids up a grade (I’ll save the long story of why for another time). So Elliott was technically in 6th grade during the… Continue reading First Day of School 2022
