Shopping on a Sunday
It’s been a (unintentional) hot minute since we have done a journal entry. Life has been busy yet ordinary all at the same time. Sundays after church we often stop by the grocery store since it is just around the corner. Our daughter likes to hang off the cart as you can see in the pic. We are enjoying Holy Week and looking Read more »

Favorite Poem
‘Song for a Fifth Child’ by Ruth Hulburt Hamilton “Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth, Empty the dustpan, poison the moth, Hang out the washing and butter the bread, Sew on a button and make up a bed. Where is the mother whose house is so shocking? She’s up in the nursery, blissfully rocking. Oh, I’ve Read more »
Still lots of snow!
Wow! We still have a good amount of snow on the ground! Again, this is not usual for middle TN so we have been soaking it up with snowball fights and sledding down our driveway! Pictured is Jamie, our daughter, and Jamie’s brother “uncle dredge” (somehow our daughter came up with that when she was first learning to talk Read more »
Weird Snowman
Well here is our rendition of a snowman…. More like snow creature (we laughed so hard at this!) the snow is very powdery and won’t stick together very well so we had difficulty making the traditional snowman shape. Our daughter says it’s “Mr Reindeer!” Read more »

Baby Room in Progress
For months we have been making our office into a new baby room. It’s a sweet little room that faces the back tree line and is right next to mom and dads room.

Chickens and a dog and a toddler, oh my!
One of my favorite things to watch (Jamie/Mom here) is our chickens , dog, and daughter play together in the back yard. It’s sweet, and more times than not, humorous how they all interact together. Finding joy in the little moments of life is so important. I’m thankful for my chickens, and dog, and (most of all) my Read more »
Zoo Day
Lions and tigers and bears oh my! We had a blast at the zoo. We have a membership and love going as much as we can. One of our favorite exhibits are the kangaroos because you can walk through and even pet one if they jump on the walking path (eek!) Also, the tiger and the zebras were the closest to the fence we have ever seen Read more »
