Levi called me up and said Emilio was bringing us a big apple tree. My heart pitter-pattered until I realized it wasn’t for me, it was for the deer. I’m still happy, I can’t wait until the lone apple tree blooms.

A good night. Carter & Violet playing on the windowsill in their pajamas on sauna night. Up until now they clobbered each other. and… Levi talked Becka into making 100 pasties for us. A good night, indeed.
This is what we have been up to. Painting the ______ room. The plan calls it a club room, which just sounds goofy to me. It is a big room with a fireplace, kid’s toys & the telly. I would like to call it a parlor. Sounds so old fashioned. Like we would all gather there […]
I love this photo of Matilda, covered by adoring little hands. Sweet Matilda is the third baby to be born at Windy Ridge. Well, at the hospital actually, but you know what I mean.

Everywhere I looked there were cousins & friends playing, strolling, visiting & conspiring(not too mention wrestling and bloody noses). The women sat in the kitchen sharing birth stories, advice and how we dread the day our […]
I look out my window and see this. Levi working on the pergola posts & wearing a wig. Whatever gets the job done, huh?
Levi handed me the mail and I opened the package thinking it must be a return from a customer. We were pleasantly surprised to find a beautifully wrapped package containing a solar powered rainbow maker. I put it on my office window and you should have seen the children’s delight when the rainbows danced around the room. […]
The victim & the perpetrator Expensive electronics & I just can’t seem to make it work. Two months after shattering my last iPhone, my new one drowns violently in milk. In all this square footage the sippy cup couldn’t empty itself elsewhere?
