Hadn’t Realized

Since Dw has been gone to Africa, I’ve not had much opportunity to get exercise. For me, personally speaking, exercise helps me stay  pretty mellow.  If I feel myself getting stressed, exercise *always* helps. {Besides spending time with the Lord.} With Liberty being the oldest and Ruby’s seizures  really can’t go too far,  so instead…

Life is Short

Breakfast in the park for a change of pace…. Running in the grass while it’s still cool… Walking the trails for a long ways…. Chatting with the ducks who came a-callin’…. I only had one question for our quacky friends: “Are you related to Uncle Si?  Cause I totally want to meet him.” Some days…

Ga-Zoo-Nee

Many of you have wondered what family life at our home is like on a day to day basis…here’s a little of an average Saturday with our large family….
