Best Buddies

We had heard that another 8 year old boy lived across the street, but it took some time to actually finally meet him. A couple weeks ago, we ended up connecting with him, and these two have been inseparable ever since. From about midmorning until dinner time every night, they are riding bikes, petting cows,

Girl Time

As much as we love a good hike or a cool dive in the lake, it’s also been fun to do a little exploring downtown. Coming from a city of endless strip malls and apartment buildings, having a “real” downtown is quite exciting! As I was driving home one day, I spotted this quaint bookstore

GOOD Morning!

Good morning from the cows!! Yes, it is a good morning; unexpectedly good after little boys with bad dreams and cats who want to go outside kept me up half the night. Yet, God’s mercies are new every morning! After breakfast, one daughter walked by with a load of laundry — off to an early

Fall Dreamin’

We had donut holes with our tea party the other morning. (Not sure why donut holes make me think of fall, but they do!) Walked into Target yesterday and the summer patio furniture was replaced with back-to-school supplies. My trip to the Dollar Tree was immersed in all things orange/ pumpkin/ leaves. Fall is coming…

Turning Right

One of the best parts about living here is all the walks I’ve gotten to take with my girls. For one thing, it would be too hot to take walks this time of year back in California unless I could convince them to wake up at 5am with me. (Nope!) For another thing, the older

A Tale of Two Aunts

Family Hike 1 (Herron Park)

I can’t wait until I’m typing “Family Hike 100.” With all the beauty surrounding us, that could come sooner than later! We heard of this park from some people at the mattress store, and saw signs for it, as well. I decided to try it for our first hike because it was fairly close to

Ember

Once upon a time, two sisters went for a walk. Meanwhile, their mom went to the grocery store for a few items. While driving home from the grocery store, the mom spotted her girls in the distance and drove closer to see if it was really them. She was concerned because the girls were walking

Livin’ the Yeh Life; Take 5!

Here I go again… beginning my 5th new blog.  You can see where it all began by clicking here.  After four years at that site, (2008 – 2012), I ran out of picture space and moved to blog number 2, which can be found here.  Somehow I quickly ran out of space there and had to move
