Window view. Taryn was helping another fulltime family by walking their dogs so they could have a couple long adventure days in Boston. Jonah walked with her on one of her trips over to walk the dogs and spotted two friends he’d made this spring in Hershey. Since then they’ve all been playing outside all day, every day, building forts, playing games. Our site is totally trashed and they are constantly dirty but they are so happy and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Two feral, dirty, silly little boys who stole my snack and my heart. They spend 10 hours a day outside playing with friends, only driven inside by thirst, hunger, the bathroom or rain. Today it was rain.

Ty’s New Truck

So this happened! Ty bought a truck and I’m so excited for him! It was quite a process with several weeks of shopping only to have each prospect fall through. We finally found just the right one. 2004 Silverado for the win! It was a culmination of the people who love him coming together to finally make it happen. I had to include one photo of his most favorite passenger, Maggie! And if I’m being honest, I am little terrified of the anxiety of having my kid drive off alone for the first time. It throws me in to a whole new world of worry and prayer. My baby grew up, y’all. […]

distraction of the day

This has definitely been our most challenging year so far homeschooling. I knew going in that it would be. With Jonah being mobile and just super busy, its been challenging for sure. Being able to teach Taryn and Jude with him underfoot has required a lot of patience and creative distractions for him. As his attention span get longer by the day, things are getting easier. Today’s distraction was chalk. It went great until I realized mid way through fixing lunch that he was drawing on the leg of my black yoga pants. In his defense, they did need some sprucing up and they were black just like the chalk board! Ha!

happy baby
