When Plans Change Last week, Mark and I were able to celebrate our ten year anniversary. Can you believe it?! TEN YEARS! Sad story. When Mark and I were still in our very first year of marriage, we decided that for our ten year anniversary we would go on a special trip. And we’ve been …
Valentine’s Day
I love Valentine’s Day. Since our anniversary is so close to Valentine’s Day, it’s always been more about family love for us and I love that we do that! My favorite tradition BY FAR is exchanging our love notes to one another. These have become such treasures to read throughout the years. It’s so sweet …
Sledding
This weekend we did our February Family Fun – SLEDDING! It was pretty cold – like 2* cold {and that’s actual temperature – not wind chill!}. But we were all so excited I genuinely don’t think any of us noticed! We had gotten a decent little snowstorm and didn’t want to be on the roads …

There’s no other way to put it. But we love Lydia’s therapists and …

We don’t really know if she knows her name or anything else really. She’s had two “booth” screenings and they came back inconclusive. They basically told …
Family Game Night
It felt like January flew by in a FLASH! Our family made a goal this year to bring back our monthly “family fun” activities. We got pretty inconsistent this last year {can we blame COVID? 😉} and we want to get back to it! January almost slipped by us, but we decided to do a …
Jacob Scott
I am in complete denial that Jacob is going to be nine years old this year. Where is the time going? As crazy as it is though, it is also exciting to think that we are entering this new phase in parenting. I have definitely noticed a maturity in Jacob over the last couple months. …
