Nya Is 1

Nya turned 1 today. We LOVE this baby. I have the fondest memories of this time last year. I thank God every day that He knew we needed Nya in our lives. Happy 1st birthday, Baby!

Cookies And Castles

Wednesday, October 14, 2009



Today we made chocolate chip cookies and finished up our castles using finds from our recycling. If my children have taught me anything it is that one man's trash is another man's treasure. I love them for that, they find amazement in something I dismiss as garbage. Also, we are reading 'The Castle Corona', by Sharon Creech and we read chapter's 9, 10, 11 and 12 today while building treasures and eating our treats.

The Age Of Innocence

It is so wonderful to me that Tate can, one minute, be trying on his sister's clips and in the very next, be playing with his trucks!
