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
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
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
Selah and the Double Digits Day!

So pardon our mess as we rebuild it, but for now at least you can finally read our blog clearly!!* Our big girl turned 10! We celebrated by having a PARTY! PARTY! More specifically, a DOUBLE DIGITS PARTY PARTY! This was really fun. I… Continue reading Selah and the Double Digits Day!
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
2022 Last day of school
We did it! Another school year planting seeds and building up these kids of ours in the Word of God and His truth. We studied modern American history this year and boy, oh boy, did we study some HEAVY topics–obviously. But what a gift to get to work through these wars and hard events in… Continue reading 2022 Last day of school
2:22 on 2/2/22
We are having a lovely snow day today. Very, very thankful for the moisture God is providing for us! In fact, our little lake is even slowly beginning to fill back up! Three cheers for snow!! It started off as an ordinary snow day…the kids made waffles and then went outside to make maple syrup… Continue reading 2:22 on 2/2/22
Case #9: The Case of the Purloined Birthday Present
It was just an ordinary Thursday. (It also happened to be Brian’s birthday, which, if you know him, means it was–quite literally–just an ordinary Thursday.) We were planning on celebrating Selah’s birthday that evening with a friend when–*gasp*shudder*scream*–the birthday present we had gotten for her was GONE!!! In its place was a ransom note with… Continue reading Case #9: The Case of the Purloined Birthday Present
