First Days of School!
I have a vivid memory of holding Elliott as a brand-spankin’-new newborn and thinking, “I AM NEVER SENDING MY BABY TO KINDERGARTEN!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT KIND OF CRAZY PEOPLE SEND THEIR BABIES TO SCHOOL???!!!!!!” But alas…the day has come, and I am now that crazy person :). Honestly, I had no tears or sadness surrounding Elliott’s first day…I… Continue reading First Days of School!
Summer of ’16
Re-live our summer with us through pictures! The Pueblo Zoo also held another first for us…our sweet Selah got stung by a bee for the very first time…TWICE! I know that’s not technically possible…we think it must have gotten stuck under her skort, tried to sting her once but didn’t get its stinger out and… Continue reading Summer of ’16
New Mercies Monday: Laughter
“Our God does not intend His people to be shipwrecked. However, we would be shipwrecked and lost if we could not be held fast in the hour of temptation…He bought you at too great a price and values you too much to see you broken to pieces on the rocks. Therefore, He has provided a… Continue reading New Mercies Monday: Laughter
Elliott’s Last Day of Pre-K!
Well, due to no fault of the sweet little preschool Elliott’s been attending, we had a bit of a dramatic ending to the school year.

It was sad and hard for everyone, but thankfully we all trusted the Lord to provide…and… Continue reading Elliott’s Last Day of Pre-K!
New Mercies Monday: Another Year
I’ll come clean–I was going to skip blogging this week. Yes, I had a birthday, but, well…I honestly just didn’t have too much to say about it this year. (I know, I know…which is surprising for this normally long-winded girl…) Until there I was at the gym right before the fitness class started, chatting with… Continue reading New Mercies Monday: Another Year
New Mercies Monday: Receipts & a Penny Horse
I am constantly trying to see the Lord in all that I do in a day. He teaches us all the time, and I don’t want to miss a lesson from Him. So, so often I understand His character through watching my children and taking note of the way my heart, as their mother, responds… Continue reading New Mercies Monday: Receipts & a Penny Horse
New Mercies Monday
This week, I was blessed with double “Jillian” new mercies! My sweet friend Jillian from Tacoma was in town and I was SO blessed to get to grab a quick breakfast with her. Such a treasured friend. We met because she was my student teacher, which seems like EONS ago!!! But I knew we would… Continue reading New Mercies Monday
New Mercies Monday
When I shut down my facebook account over a year ago now, I made a mental note to blog more often. And well, that didn’t really happen :). My zeal for writing and recording in this virtual scrapbook here has somewhat windled down to birthdays and holidays. Most of that, quite honestly, is that I’m… Continue reading New Mercies Monday
