Isn’t she just the cutest?! Several months ago, Sarah shared with me that she was having a hard time seeing things. It was the usual suspects: the hymn numbers at church, the board in our schoolroom, etc. So I scheduled her an appointment and they concluded that Sarah needed glasses. Her prescription is not “hefty” …
Last week we had a sort of unexpected night. Lydia has been on a wait list for a sleep study for several months now and we got a call around lunch time asking if we could take the spot for that night and we did! Of course, it was a night Mark was working, but …
Lydia’s therapy has an incredible arrangement with our county fair to give two hours to families who need a little bit of help with sensory overload. For two hours, the fair is open to them (FREE!) where the sounds and lights are turned off on all of the rides. They had face painting, bounce houses, …

Another week in one of our favorite places surrounded by some of our favorite people! Our week was just oh so lovely, and as always, is best summed up in the dozens and dozens of pictures that we took. It was a week of great conversations, tubing, a monarch butterfly migration, learning about our names, …
I mentioned last year that the Fourth of July was really hard for me. For whatever reason, this is the one holiday that is really difficult for me to be away from family. It probably doesn’t help that Mark has had to work both years, so it is just me and the kids trying to …
