C is for Cousins

By

This past week my sister-in-law was here visiting from Portland, Oregon, with our newest baby, Bell. With my brother and his family living in Oregon, my sister and her family living in Kansas City (a couple of hours away), my daughter living with her dad 45 minutes away, and us living here, getting all seven of my parents' grandchildren together at the same time rarely happens. We somehow managed to get them all together for some pictures.

These are the three oldest. Kyndal is 18, Dawson is 16, and Rylee is 15.


And these are the two youngest. Ashtyn is 9 months and Bell is 5 months. (Seems like only yesterday that we were taking pictures of Kyndal and Rylee like this.)


Here are the three little girls ... Big Cousin Brynne and the babies. They adore Brynne, and just light up when they see her.


Here are all of the grandkids together. Eli chose to only participate in the group pictures. He is not fond of babies.


And here are Papa and Grandma with all seven of their grandkids. Even Sonny snuck into this picture.


It was great to get all of the kids together, even if it was only for a little while. We miss Bell and wish she were closer. But we'll just cherish these pictures until we see her again in July.

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...
