FridayFavs on Saturday :)

Late again...late again...for no particular reason.
Just enjoying some rest and time "off" from school and the running and the going.
It's sweet and good.
We are blessed.
Here is to finding joy
in the big and small,
and all those good gifts
given.


This boy.
With the imagination
as wide and far as
the east is from the west.
Love, love, love him.
 



 
Not-so little boy blue.
 
 

Bought this boy Adventures in Odyssey
He LOVES them.
It's the same idea as the Magic Tree House books
(which he's read most of) 
but with a Biblical Worldview.
He says these are better.
What a history buff.
 
 
This is Koen's "special gift" so he says.
Thank you Grandmommy!
 
 
Pasting sugary products
on top of gingerbread
shaped like a choo-choo train.
Doesn't get much better than this.
Well, other than eating sugary products
on top of gingerbread.
 

 
 
This reminder.
Of Who we are celebrating during Christmas
And all that points us to Him.
In the Book of Life.
Where life is lost and
found again
in Christ.

    Awwww...I especially love your boy with the big imagination! I have one like that. He can stay entertained for hours building cities with blocks, building towers and laying train tracks...
    An imagination is truly priceless.
    Thanks for sharing :)

Never Too Late for Friday Favs!

Yes, I know it's Sat. It's actually lateish Sat. evening. FridayFavs are actually supposed to be posted on Friday. Which is not today. Obviously. Oh, time management we have already decided you are one of my greatest foes. However, since the past couple of weeks have been, well pretty wonderful I thought I would share in more of the fun and favorite things we did together. These here are some of our Favs from when the laundry fairy (AKA Nana) was still in town.  Making sweet treats     And a Pinata And just for the record Pinatas are hard to make. It is a project that takes about a week. Not 2 or 3 days Unless you live in the South and can put it outside to dry in Oct.     Best. Dad. Ever.     Ironman. Meg (from Little Women). And a pirate, of course. I love them all. Well, the children dressed up as them anyway.     Yup. This here is the...

Overwhelmed

It has been a long while hasn't it dear friends? A forced sabbatical of sorts. More like me not really knowing how to manage time properly. Or perhaps it is the sheer thought of putting pen to paper or typing out what is really going on that is just so very overwhelming that really, the thought of it all gives me writers block.  Where to start? What to say? And does anyone really care. Thing is, I don't really know. Seriously, I don't know an answer to any of those questions. And maybe there are just parts of our life that I want to keep off of this blogosphere...or maybe not. Again, I just don't know. I keep thinking that it is going to come to me. That I will know exactly what to write and how to explain why in the world we would take in three foster children while having four of our own. My sister teases me by saying that I will turn out to be the old woman who lived in a shoe. If I believed in modern prophecy, I would call her a prophetess. No, I don't live ...

Raising Pretenders

Meandering the choppy waters of parenting a teen is new and confounding at times. It humbles and shakes up my days. It is also a blessing. Yes! I just said blessing and teen together. I had hoped and hoped and prayed that our teens would know that we are on their side, that we are not their advisory. It is such a scary, scary time in parenting isn't it? These children figure out they have brains of their own and they want to use them to do things like think and have their own opinion. It's so very hard to know when to push and when to let it slide. It might be more like parenting a toddler than we would like to admit most of the time. And yet, there is something very sweet here. I realize that this is not every ones experience. It will not be ours with every child. Of that I am almost certain. I'm not saying this to brag or put anyone else into what I like to call, "a fog of comparison." It is not some formula like a chemistry experiment so please, PLEASE d...
