This has been a busy, busy week at our house. February 10th through the 16th is always busy at our house. We have several celebrations beginning with Garret’s birthday on the 10th and ending with our anniversary on the 16th. Somewhere in there is Valentine’s Day, right? And the week often includes President’s Day which [...]

I’m amazed to think that we have been in Utah for one whole year now. I’m reminded of that old adage, “The days go by like weeks and the weeks go by like days.” I have yet to update you on the holidays in my life, but I can’t help but feel as though this [...]

Today is my youngest’s 20th birthday. Amalie is 20. No more teenagers.
Weird.
I don’t feel like the Mom of two adult children.
Not that I mind. Aging has not yet bothered me. I figure as long as I keep telling myself I’m not old, I won’t ever get there. And every birthday I have on this planet [...]

This past week our AZ daughter, Nikaela, and her sweet family came for a visit. We had so much fun! One whole week of great adult conversation. One whole week of snuggling Grandbabies. One whole week of big breakfasts, visiting fun sights, watching movies and eating popcorn. What a wonderful Christmas Gift!
We were sad to [...]

Things have been a bit hectic at our house the last few weeks, but I am managing to keep up with most of my projects. Many of them are Christmas presents, so I’m hesitant to post them on my blog just yet. But I’m also working on little hat and scarf sets for my Grandchildren [...]

Growing up I had my very special Grandma Eddie. Actually, she was Grandma Nellie until my sister’s first child could not say “Nellie” and it came out in a very cute “Eddie” (love you, Jeni-Pen). Grandma was thrilled – she did not like the name “Nellie” and threatened me when I suggested using Nellie as [...]

Sundays are, perhaps, my favorite day of the week. I believe in the holiness of the Sabbath and I keep it as such. Therefore, I do no shopping, cleaning or work on Sundays. Sundays are reserved for worship, family, and renewal (read: afternoon nap!).
Ahhh… but Fridays!
Fridays are definitely my next favorite and holy in their [...]

So this morning I have been missing my grandchildren. What a delightful thing grandchildren are! There is an emotion and level of feeling that come into your life when you have children that just cannot be described; it is the same with grandchildren. Suddenly life has more meaning, each moment matters, and you realize that [...]

My sister-in-law has passed away after a life-long battle with juvenile diabetes. My husband’s oldest sister’s battle was long and brave and included many ups and downs, two kidney transplants, and heart bypass surgery. In the end, while she was only 52 years old, she went in her way, at her time. What a blessing!
I [...]

One year ago our lives were taking some drastic turns. There are seasons of relative calm in life and there are seasons of whirlwinds; and everything in between. We were just starting to settle into a relative calm at the beginning of 2008. We were not where we needed to be yet, but we were [...]
