This young man just turned 11! 

He is such a joy and delight to us. 

I am so very thankful for him!! 

Baked Buttermilk Donuts: Yum!

When you have a hankering for cake donuts...go ahead and make some! 

This morning I helped R. make some Baked Buttermilk Donuts. She did a great job and they are yummy! Fun times with this little lady who is growing up too fast for me!

We ❤ Wednesdays

We love Wednesdays. 

The fellowship is truly a blessing.

So thankful!

Getting the Job Done

Thankful for the man our eldest is becoming. 

He has such a servant's heart.

Cooking for Company

We love having out of town guests! This weekend, my college roommate and three of her young 'uns are making the trek south to see us. Yay! 

I am prepping taco salad fix'ins: browning the ground beef and black beans in the crockpot. Also, I have the wonderful bread machine doing the hard work of prepping the dough for pizzas we will create tomorrow! 

As I prep, I realize how blessed I am, not only to have the modern conveniences for prepping all of these things at once, but blessed by the fact that we get to share it in fellowship with those who are do dear to us.

Can't wait for the conversations and fun we will have as we sit down together to feast in fellowship!!

Blessed, indeed! ❤

BOOTS

Shopping for new boots! 

Oh the choices!

A-Town

You were very very good to us. Thank you Holmes family. Wonderful time as always! ❤

SUMMER: Swimming, jumping, swinging, & gaming

For the first time, in our entire homeschool career -- going on our tenth year -- we are taking five weeks off! I am doing this because I recognized the kids and I NEEDED a "sabbatical", if you will. I wanted us to take time to do some enrichment reading and projects...oh and take time to play!

This footwear sure comes in handy living out here. I ❤ my home.

A very GOOD evening
