Cleaning around the kitchen in the early quiet of this morning I heard a little voice at the top of the stairs, my Adelynn awake. As I came up the stairs approaching Addie, I was in awe as to how she had gotten there so quietly - and seemingly unscathed - she and Sis suddenly learned how to climb out of their cribs! We can't change to toddler beds quickly enough! She was very concerned about her Continue Reading
Just SO FULL of happiness today!!
My house is a mess, my laundry is piling up as we speak; my sister-in-law,who has been staying with us for some time, had her sweet kitty, that we all know and love, die last night; it's been cold for weeks and weeks; and I have one more child home sick today... but for some reason my heart is just so full of quiet, beautiful happiness. So full that it's pouring out onto blog! "My cup runneth over Continue Reading

I was so tired I crashed out beside her (also unusual - we've Continue Reading
Don’t Quit!

As we were driving home a couple days ago I was listing to my husband ALL the things on my list that I wished to get done but hadn't yet, I lamented like little Sarah in the video attached "I can't!" We drove down a street of cheerfully decorated Christmas home but just at this moment past a home with a big sign posted in the front, "I Continue Reading
Happy Thanks-giving Friends!
It's a glorious Thanksgiving morning here in PA! The row of windows along the back of our home give view to a gorgeous, snow-covered forest! Fresh snow is so breathtaking! Waking up to children's giggles, my daughters harp music spreading Christmas hymns throughout the house, friendly voices, and a day FULL of Thanksgiving ahead made me feel that life couldn't get better! (Though of course this Continue Reading
