Ava's an author!

My mom always has her class write a book and has included our kids as well.  This year was Ava's turn as she wrote " The Lost Kitten". She was very proud! She took it to school, and her teacher was very impressed and read it to the class.  Thanks, Mom! What a great feeling of accomplishment!

And Happy Birthday, Rebekah!

Rebekah gets to share her birthday with a buddy now that Oliver was born 8 days late on her birthday! So we had a double celebration.  We love our Aunt Bek!

My cute husband

I love that he's using his Magnolia construction pencil to draw a headboard on a piece of wood.  It's going to look amazing.  I can't wait!

Fun new plaything

Our farmer friend is allowing us all to enjoy this little toy! It's a blast until you see your 10 year old riding off with your 6 year old holding on for dear life!

This is how I feel after school sometimes.  Hahaha

House Projects

We have been slowly updating the farmhouse.  A new light fixture in the living room, a small table that belonged to my mom refinished, and my whimsical hallway.  Still a work in progress, but I'm learning to love the journey.  I have enjoyed each of these fun little weekend projects.
