16 years ago I was pacing up and down the mountain and hospital halls. I was barely 23 and laboring with my third baby. After a very long labor and a c-section scare, my first daughter was born and she has been such a joy ever since. Destiny Evelyn is sweet sixteen.

Photos from our day in Port Townsend & Fort Worden. First stop was the pharmacy to get emergency flip-flops because the children soaked their sneakers in the bay. Then we walked across the street to the Pizza Factory. They had a loud horn on the wall next to the door with a sign that read: […]
My little tomboy princess in the silk Sabra Gown. She likes dirt, bugs & pretty dresses. I love this gown. We hiked down the muddy trail to the beach and trashed this dress. When I got back to the house I threw the whole thing into the washer and it is as good as new. […]

I look out the window on Christmas Eve day and see this. A cross made from the firewood Levi was chopping. Baby Hazel napping in her eden’s bouquet Poinsettia Blouse. With one foot in the grave, Matt is a favorite with the littles. He takes off his prosthetic leg and horrifies and fascinates them all at […]
Merry Christmas from Windy Ridge! (thank you to Christy Lannon for the real life photo)
