Love You to the Quasars… and back.
How can our tiniest little one be eight years old? He is joyful and bubbly, a little mischievous and a magnificent negotiator. He is thoughtful of others but as antagonistic as a little brother can be. He is bright, full of questions and ideas, and has a brilliant mind soaking Continue Reading
Happy Birthday Lukie!
SEVEN? Impossible! Do we say that every year? This year was a ‘no-party’ year but somehow we manage to pull off some pretty delightful festivities. Grammy and Grampapa and Nana came over for a yummy panda bear Funfetti cake and some sweet gifts. Lukie also requested to take some bear Continue Reading
A journey around the world
Well, we are embarking upon a new journey this year. With Alexander returning to school, we only have two little ones left in our homeschool.

With every rain, this little boy is outside before it barely stops- ready to hit the mud and the trucks. If it’s been dry he’ll ask to haul out the hose and make his own mud. Sometimes he has a brother join him, but even playing on his own, he’s Continue Reading
Look Who’s TWO!
Lukie turned two last week with all the sweetness of the season. It was a quieter little event with Grammy, Grampapa, and Nana coming down to celebrate at a festive table with our favorite two-year-old. I don’t know if he really understood that the day was for him, but he Continue Reading
New Days with Two
It’s been a strange adjustment having Alexander at school and back to only two little ones home. But after weeks and weeks we’re settling into our routines and enjoying new days and alone time with our two little brothers. After worship and the ‘big boys’ depart, Aidan, Lucas & Continue Reading
Lukie’s Winter OneDerland Weekend
Our little Lucas is one. And he’s such a delightful, smiley, easy-going little guy. He sleeps well, he loves his brothers soo much, and he’s walking up a storm. For his special first birthday we decided to put together a little winter Onederland weekend for him. His baby dedication was Continue Reading
