Jon & Sue: rehearsal snapshots
Today was perfect in it’s own way. A productive, happy day. I didn’t get everything done on my list(not even close), but I had fun trying. A day devoted to feathering my nest & mothering. Even the weather was perfect. Sunshiny with a gentle breeze to carry the children’s cheerful chatter(Oh! Alliteration!)to my ears. I sent the little boys […]
I was awakened at 2 am this morning by Sabra’s frantic whispering. “Mom, Macy had her kittens on top of me!” Oh my. It never fails, Macy always manages to get to Sabra’s bed when the birthing hour arrives. Too exhausted to deal with feline midwifery, I told Sabra to grab a blanket and sleep […]
The winner is: CHRISTY LANNON Thank you so much for helping us name our baby girl! We cannot picture her name as anything but Hazel. Jean is my mom’s name and it goes beautifully as a middle name. Thank you so much to everyone that took the time to enter name […]
2700 miles of blacktop & 3 time zones in 3 days. We rolled into Windy Ridge at 9:45pm last night. I stumbled through the door and immediately had 7 kids(one was sleeping) crowded around me telling me the events of the last nine days and showing me the treasures they had found. It is so […]
Just a quick post from our hotel room in Rawlins, Wyoming to let you know that we did not drop off the face of the earth in Tennessee. We have been on the road home since Saturday night and hope to sleep in our own bed tonight. That means we will need to drive over 1000 […]
Tonight we lay our heads in Tennessee. 2400 miles travelled, 300 to go. We should reach out destination mid-morning tomorrow. We spent today outrunning severe weather. Kept things exciting. This is what a lightening bolt looks like on the iPhone camera. I had the poor thing gasping as I furiously clicked the button trying to […]
We spent Tuesday driving interstate 80 across Nebraska for miles and miles. Flat and unadorned landscape for hours. Then just when I thought I might die, trees! We spent the evening winding through lush historic farm country. The only photos captured are from my iPhone. We are pulling a trailer full of concrete stuff and Levi isn’t […]
Good Morning from WYOMING. Sunday night we started our 2700 mile road trip to South Carolina. Just me, Levi & our unborn daughter. Off to uncle Jon’s wedding and to visit the southern kinfolk, Levi’s family. We travel bearing gifts of Tillamook cheddar, halibut, uprooted authentic Windy Ridge evergreens and a Vitamin C that you(apparently)can only get in the Pacific Northwest. […]
Violet smiles as her siblings serenade her with a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday” Two years ago today I was up a 4 am getting ready for an induction appointment. The hospital called and said they didn’t have time after all and they would call when they had a room open. A disappointed Levi went […]
