This little guy is hard to get a good picture of. He’s talkative, busy, and rarely still for long.

He definitely has his own agenda.

So glad that the flowers are beginning to emerge in my yard again. 💜

It’s time to wander the yard again, looking for floral treasures.

He may be tiny, but he has already mastered the art of cozy. I mean, look at that little face all tucked in for a nap. 🩶

Evenings like this are a quiet reminder that God is still busy painting the sky. This one definitely did. 🌅

Are you the kind of person who runs outside to take a picture of a sunset?

I put my most organizationally gifted child on a mission: empty the game cabinet and decide what to keep, donate, or toss.

Who would have thought we had so many games!?! Not me, I don't even like board games. 🤪

My sweet husband bought me a Slushi machine for Valentine's Day, and I have been putting it to the test. 😁 And the kids have been willing taste testers!

So far, I have made Pepsi, Orange Julius, Grape, Dole Whip, Grape Julius, and Root Beer float slushies.

I love our view—foggy days included. 🤍
When we chose this place nearly 20 years ago, I had no idea just how much of a blessing it would become.

Beautiful views, open land, and room for our family to grow, laugh, and thrive.
Feeling grateful today… and always.
