Selah’s birthday landed on a Sunday this year, which, in my kids’ eyes, always makes life extra special. When special events fall on a Sunday, that means we get to celebrate with our church family! Our church is quite small–we have around 120 each Sunday–and so it truly feels like family. And in this small… Continue reading Selah turns 11

First Day of School 2023-24
It feels a bit like a tornado blew in in May and has swept our little family from one month to another so quickly that I truly cannot keep up. There were delightful things that happened during the summer…like Elliott getting to work hard with his daddy helping his grandparents. He got to do “real”… Continue reading First Day of School 2023-24
Jaxon Drago
September 23, 2023 brought a mourning into our lives that will stay with us all, in some form, until our last days. At times, the grief has felt almost too much to bear. We loved you so much, Jaxon. Jaxon was always making us laugh, and the last time we saw him was no different.… Continue reading Jaxon Drago
2023 Last Days of School
You guys. We start school in two days and I haven’t even posted about their last day from last year. You are probably wondering if my kids actually passed their last grades. The kids had their last day at their “out school,” we did two days of exams and then had their End of Year… Continue reading 2023 Last Days of School
Elliott Epically Turns 12
Well, my friends, we officially have a pre-teen for the first time ever. What a marvel to watch these little people on their journey towards adulthood, growing more in the grace of God and the image of Christ with each passing year! As I’ve mentioned in the past, Elliott has declared that the only thing… Continue reading Elliott Epically Turns 12

First Day of School 2022
Well, we are kicking off our last year of both kids being able to be at our sweet little classical Christian school together. When we first started this school, we bumped the kids up a grade (I’ll save the long story of why for another time). So Elliott was technically in 6th grade during the… Continue reading First Day of School 2022
Father Goose
Water has been a fairly constant presence in our marriage, from living in our first home together on Waterview and then moving to the Dominican Republic and Mexico, where we were within walking distance and/or sight of water. Now even living in land-locked Colorado, God somehow managed to gift us with this amazing piece of… Continue reading Father Goose
2022 Last day of school
We did it! Another school year planting seeds and building up these kids of ours in the Word of God and His truth. We studied modern American history this year and boy, oh boy, did we study some HEAVY topics–obviously. But what a gift to get to work through these wars and hard events in… Continue reading 2022 Last day of school
Elliott Turns 11 and Our Blog Becomes Extinct
It seems fitting that our blog would take its place among the dinosaurs the same year Elliott turned 11. If you’ll remember, we started this little bloggy blog when we were pregnant with Elliott, so just over 11 years ago. And 11 years in computer age is like ELEVEN HUNDRED years in human years. So,… Continue reading Elliott Turns 11 and Our Blog Becomes Extinct
