The kids and I spent a perfect, crisp Colorado morning enjoying the start of our favorite season with some of our favorite friends at an apple farm! We knew going into it that the U-Pick wasn’t pickable due to an early freeze, but our hearts were set on apple cider donuts. Turns out the bakery [...]
Summer break is over, the grass is beginning to brown, and we just spotted a few of our Aspen leaves changing color. Come on fall colors, we’re ready for you! Crosby’s going to have to get used to wearing clothes again soon. It was chicken processing day this past week. At one point Johnny glanced [...]

I’m learning how to extend a lot of grace, not only to the kids but also to myself. The two hour window of “play [...]
Second day of school photos, because I forgot yesterday. We are praising God daily that He called us to homeschool. Johnny has been so encouraging and helpful.
