Name our baby daughter contest
What’s in a name? Not too much. To me it is just a moniker that you love. I don’t think it will make or break a kid. I hope to high heaven that my kid wouldn’t fail in life just because of a name. I hope to higher heaven that I raise stronger children than...
Sweet Violet
If you like photoshop actions you must try Sonia’s Bohemian Secret. So much fun to play with. Violet is covered in the Heirloom Receiving Blanket which she was received in 2 years ago and still uses today. I designed this collection especially for her. Now it is time to design some new pieces for our unborn daughter.
Crazy boys
Landon took these photos of Riley while I was not home. This is the reason boys end up in the ER more than girls. Thank goodness there were no major injuries in this event.
Delicioso
Landon has been working hard with Levi so I decided I would make supper Saturday night. Fresh Cream of Broccoli Soup Ingredients: 4 celery ribs, chopped 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced 1 large onion, chopped 5 tablespoons butter 2 bunches broccoli, trimmed and coarsely chopped (about 8 cups) 1-1/2 cups chicken broth 1/2 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons...
The buzz
Haircuts. Another thing we keep simple at Windy Ridge. I usually put off this task until I can no longer look at my sons’ shaggy heads without feeling completely & utterly overwhelmed. I wait until the gum and other paraphernalia stuck to their unruly strands is out of control and a sense of failure washes...
Plates & cups
Yesterday we went treasure hunting. The objects desired? Plates & cups. I know that I was supposed to focus on my office, but this was an emergency. All previous sauna nights we were forced to beg brother Ben to borrow his dinnerware. Luckily he lives right across the sidewalk in the guest house with his...
The naming
Thank you to everyone that cheered with me at the news of baby girl. After 7 brothers and 5 sons I am programmed to expect boys. As much as I adore boys, I did secretly hope for a girl. Many of you have asked… Yes of course I share everything, including the naming of our unborn daughter. ...
Daughter number four
I am happy to say that the unborn is a GIRL! This is the first time I will have girls close in age. A little sister to wear Violet’s pretty hand-me-downs. WOOHOO!
My Sunday afternoon
It was a beautiful, sunny day. I finally convinced my skeptical Levi that it was a good idea for me to acquire an iphone. He was skeptical because my phones usually end up in the washing machine. I walked out of the phone store the proud owner of this lovely gadget. It was a good day. ...
