The guts.


Nothing, it would seem, brings more joy to my children's souls....
than pumpkin guts.

Just terrible.


Has it been almost a year? Since my last post?


Shameful. Yes.


I thoroughly apologize, and I again am motivated at this point to chronicle our family's journey. I used to scrapbook, but other things have taken over and I haven't kept up on it. Ivria has a beautiful scrapbook of her first year, and at some point I will have to do the same for little Meirah......
As you can see from the picture above, the girls have grown. Ivria is 3 1/2 now, Mimi is 17 months. Where the heck did the last year go? Can anyone tell me lol? So much has changed around here---we finally were able to buy a house, and Jim and I both recently stepped out of leadership at church to spend some time focusing on our family and our vision. I don't know where God is leading us yet, but I'm finally ok with being on the ride. This big transition means a lot less $$$ to go around, so I am looking for a little part time work, as well as selling my jewelry on Etsy. It's a unique time for me, because even though we have not really enough money to pay the bills, I am so at peace about it. And it's not that I just don't "care"..... it's that we have begun to pay much closer attention to our moola, and that knowledge is freeing. God has provided for us in tough times before. This time seems harder because we have two kids now, and a big ole house payment, but I can't wait to tell you next month how God has figured things out for us this month.
More pictures and stories about my wonderful family to come.
