Our every day November moments🍂 Sweet Brother Lydie has not been sleeping well the last little while. After several long nights, Ben asked me why I was so tired and I told him that Lydie was struggling with sleeping. He told me not to worry about it, and he would be with her. He is …
We had such a delightful Thanksgiving week. We watched a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (A LOT!), did Thanksgiving School, cooked and baked (A LOT!), and ate even more. It was wonderful to be together as a family, to slow down, and to reflect on all that we are grateful for. For Thanksgiving School, we made some …
Is it just me or did this autumn go by in a BLINK! I can’t believe we are already a quarter of the way through our school year. It’s been a busy season with our family trip to Missouri and Iowa and Jacob’s solo trip her took with Mark to Disneyland. Then add on a …
