A Week in Pictures

On our way home tonight from cousin's birthday party in Pittsburgh, I started lamenting/ crying about how often I forget the cute things the kids do and the great memories we make.  So, here is my attempt to chronicle the memories of our sweet, chaotic, messy, beautiful life in Ohio.    

Here are some pictures from this side of heaven...


Thankful for a cancelled field trip and a rainy day....every bin of clothes organized and able to shut!  Whew!

Look how nice the basement guest area looks now minus the piles of clothes

Still waiting on the butterflies to emerge

Pizza, Sherbet, and Oreos=happy eaters

My attempt to read more of the Word

My garage sale find...a great fort building aid

Creative messiness

Ury is our quiet adventurer...never bored

Yet another fort

I finally made picture labels for all of Moriah's toy drawers

We enjoyed seeing Tarzan at Boardman High School....Broadway here we come?

Elijah is still quite the superstar around here

After all of the sunshine, warmth, and outdoor play this week, bath time came on more than just on Saturday 

Moriah loves visiting Daddy's office in the basement 

Moriah got stung by an irritated Honey Bee who left his stinger

Our baby slept six hours one night this week....he hasn't done it since :)

Praise God from whom all bessings flow...so grateful that tomorrow we begin again!  

His mercies are new every morning...

Listen Up...

At the Discipleship Summit this year Jesus kept telling me in multiple ways to be a better listener... 1. He was a great listener! Isaiah 53-"He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, but he did not say anything." 2. Most of the time when I talk, I regret what I said 3. It's a way to be a servant 4. I can learn alot from other people 5. Listening is the best form of counseling...my response can be prayer! As the Lord began to challenge me with this, I began asking to help me with questions to ask people... In the hot tub that afternoon I met an amazing missionary woman who began asking me about my kiddos. Not only did she ask me about their ages, but she also asked what each of their personalities were like. I had to really think about that question. She was genuinely interested in me and it felt amazing! This is going to take alot of effort, but through the power of the Holy Spirit it can be done! I am trusting that this will change my relationships,  even with my...

Quote of the Week

On Sunday afternoon I had the kids doing some chores to get ready to leave for Arizona. Zeke, my eight year old, said to me, “Mom, could you write down a list for me so that I can cross things off?” Haha! I love it, a child after my own heart. Our, at least another one that I’ve passed my sickness down to!  Thank you, Jesus, for these glimpses that you’re helping me raise my kids to be competent adults. Momming with Sparkle,  Heather

He Will Calm All Of Your Fears

 " For the Lord your God is living among you.  He is a mighty Savior.  He will take delight in you with gladness.  With His love He will calm all of your fears.  He will rejoice over you with joyful songs ." Zephaniah 3:17 My latest obsession:  Homeschooling Theory books & Curriculum.  I have been reading everything I can find on Charlotte Mason, Unschooling, Leadership Education, Curriculum maps...my head is swimming.  Am I crazy? Yes.  But, in my defense, I am new to this homeschooling thing and I want to give it all I have got!  Crazy, fear-filled Mama is back. " He will calm all of your fears ..."  ahhh...I can rest.  I can move slowly.  No rushing.  No drowning my kids in spelling drills.  No racing out to buy the latest, best curriculum.  I can sit on the couch and read with them, enjoy books with them, enjoy math with them, enjoy THEM! Fearless: Putting outside pressures aside & allowing...
