    By far, the most exciting thing happening in our household, this week, is that Firstborn is turning ten. Tomorrow! Our precious, 8lb 5oz strawberry-blonde tufted, inquisitive little bundle of sweetness isn’t a baby, anymore… Other happenings:

    Both Earth Day and Arbor Day are this week, which has rendered this native Oregonian downright giddy, and commandeered the lessons in our homeschool classroom. The Earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world and all who live in it; for He founded it on the seas, and established it on the waters.…

    Yesterday was Handsome Husband’s birthday. What better way to express my undying adoration and reverence than in memes… I’m out of control. Be blessed, Husband. How we actually celebrated: Despite the occasion, Husband had to put in a regular nine hours at work (unjust), but he was able to spend lunch with a work-chum purchasing mass quantities of electronics…

    Today is Husband’s Birthday Eve! You’ll recall birthdays aren’t merely a twenty-four hour deal in these here parts.

    It’s Handsome Husband’s birth week! That’s right, I said week. I heart birthdays, big time. Naturally, they last longer than just one day in our house, BUT if you do happen to see him on Friday be sure to wish him a happy Might-As-Well-Be-Fortieth. The first of his birthdays that we spent together I wasn’t even aware of it until days later…

    By the sweat of our brows… Unearthing and hauling rocks, ala Fred Flinstone, kicks our buns– but in the best way. It just feels so good to work outdoors, to work HARD and use our muscles the way God intended. The kiddos quickly tired of the work, deciding instead to focus their energies on playing. I told them they…

    Things are looking up. We are all mostly over our angry flu bug. Little Man came out entirely unscathed, with a stomach of steal and seemingly impervious immune system, I’m sure due to all he was exposed to his first 20 months of life. Feeling much improved, we were thrilled to get some fresh air and…

    It’s 3 in the morning, and I’m wide awake from stripping beds, starting laundry, wiping vomit from walls and out of carpet (because we just cannot have nice things) and combing regurgitated dinner out of little girl hair in the shower. THERE IS BARF EVERYWHERE. As Bestie Jen said, it’s like an Old Testament plague up in…

    Easter weekend was a kaleidoscope of mermaids, thai food, toiling in the yard, cinnamon rolls the size of our heads, coffee, snow flurries, the bluegrass station on Pandora, board games, and the final cinematic installment of The Hobbit… A bit unconventional, but delightful nonetheless. I don’t recall where I purchased this empty tomb, years ago, but it’s a…
