One Fine Day: February 2012
http://ethanandkimberly.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 22, 2012. I grew up Baptist. That's all I've ever known. And if someone had ever told me I'd be observing Lent someday I would have laughed. Doesn't everyone know that's a Catholic holiday? Yet I feel drawn to this time of repentance and reflection. What can I sacrifice to grow closer to Christ? Has shared some lovely scripture memorization cards for this and a plan that takes the rest of the calendar year. I hope to memorize it a bit quicker, but we'll see. :). A Time For Testing.

Thursday, September 13, 2012. What Seeds Are You Sowing? This morning was one of those mornings where I thought I was going to ship my girls off to public school if I heard them argue one more time. They were just. not. getting. along. We were taking a break from studies and tidying up when I heard another argument break out. Frustrated, I told them to separate and then meet me in the kitchen in 10 minutes. After they had planted their "seeds" I held up another packet labeled "Peace and Joy". This natura...

One Fine Day: Time Flies
http://ethanandkimberly.blogspot.com/2014/05/time-flies.html
Friday, May 30, 2014. I was so grateful to Spunky, who is the planner in our family. She had packed a full first-aid kit and it came in handy. Calico skinned both elbows but was so excited to be out on a hike that it barely bothered her. She is becoming quite the brave four-year-old. This photo is definately one of those family photos you remember for a long time. Everyone is looking at the camera and expressing joy. It was good to see your family update. June 6, 2014 at 1:29 PM.

One Fine Day: Here We Go!
http://ethanandkimberly.blogspot.com/2014/06/here-we-go.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2014. What a sweetie. :). The home inspection was so much easier than I had anticipated. It was nice that we (and by we I mean Ethan) completely re-organized the garage this weekend, but she didn't even look in there. Same thing for the inside of the fridge and showers, which I had scrubbed like a madwoman. I'm not complaining, though; we have really appreciated having everything so clean and organized for the last few days! June 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM. June 20, 2014 at 11:24 AM.

Sunday, July 6, 2014. Why I Cook From Scratch. Menu planning. Those two words used to give me despair. I cook three meals a day for six people. Per month that is 90 meals being prepared. The task of sitting down and planning out meals used to be my most hated chore. We did it for a while, but that all changed last fall . . . The family is happy, I'm no longer stressed, and we're eating at home 99% of the time. Win-win. :). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Why I Cook From Scratch.

One Fine Day: January 2012
http://ethanandkimberly.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2012. The other day a sweet, newer friend of mine invited me to coffee with some other moms. And I wanted to go, but something held me back. Help me out here . . . does anyone else. Ever feel this way? I don't know what the hesitation is, but my thoughts usually go something like this . . . Getting out of the house is vital when you're a stay-at-home mom! Why in the world do I resist it? Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Special Person of the Day. I knew I'd get behind on this. Incredibly t...

Friday, May 25, 2012. Giggles taking a much-needed break. And then we have Bubba. Bubba absolutely fell apart last week at soccer. At the beginning of the session I went out with the whole group of kids to do warm-ups with him. Did he stay in one place to do jumping jacks? That, of course, made me want to go home and cry! We'd give it a try. Week two, last night, was a whole different story. We started Bubba off with a buddy, a teen girl who must have an infinite amount of patience. I was in a Bi...By th...

Monday, August 6, 2012. Camping's For the Birds! Well, we finally did it. The hubby and I braved the woods with our little crew of munchkins. Thanks to an extremely kind friend we were lucky enough to have a camper to use. We were also lucky enough to get to go with some good friends we met at co-op last year. So. . . We headed out bright and early Saturday morning. Due to a last-minute change in vehicle, we ended up putting the dog in his kennel for the ride. (He loves his kennel.). What I was challenge...

One Fine Day: Adoption Update
http://ethanandkimberly.blogspot.com/2014/09/adoption-update.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. The other area we are pursuing is the foster care system. We have inquired about a couple of children and are waiting to hear back. There is a sweet brother and sister I am especially interested in hearing back on. Although we have never fostered, we know this wouldn't be the easiest type of adoption. But our hearts are open to what God wants to do in our family. Do you not know? Have you not heard? Isaiah 40: 28 - 29. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

One Fine Day: April 2012
http://ethanandkimberly.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2012. It all started with a shriek and a cry coming from the staircase tonight. I ran to see what what happening with Calico, who was supposed to be going upstairs with Giggles for a bath. Big sis could only say, "I don't know what happened, she just seemed afraid and wouldn't go up there.". Calico reached for me, saying, "I want Mommy." I asked my sweet, tear-stained baby to tell me all about it. "I so scary," she confided. Monday, April 9, 2012. When I told Ethan we were invited to...
