Keeping Up With The Johns': Happy 4th of July
http://ellisandamanda.blogspot.com/2015/07/happy-4th-of-july.html
Keeping Up With The Johns'. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. - Psalm 127:1. Friday, July 10, 2015. Happy 4th of July. The Lord really blessed us this Fourth of July. Ellis got the inside scoop from a co-worker on a sweet little parade in a town near us (Earlysville). We managed to get there just in time to find a spot right on the road before the parade started. The whole event lasted for a grand total of 13 minutes, and that was just right for us! As the day went on, it beca...

Keeping Up With The Johns': July 2015

Keeping Up With The Johns'. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. - Psalm 127:1. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. This morning I finished unloading the dishwasher to discover that Mac was passionately creating another "invention" at the kitchen table. What did he need cardboard boxes, sticks, tape, glue, bath tub cup toys, paperclips, marbles, and a tape measure for? A marble wash, of course! Sunday, July 12, 2015. Thankfully, we were able to meet up with him at the hospital on Father's ...

Keeping Up With The Johns': September 2014
http://ellisandamanda.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Keeping Up With The Johns'. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. - Psalm 127:1. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. It's safe to say that for the past 8 years, the spices/seasonings situation in our house has been pretty much a nightmare. Inevitably, something is about to burn or boil over, and I am frantically rummaging through the cupboard as spice bottles are falling down all around me.all while I am desperately trying to find that one. Before our move to Charlottesville, Heather hel...

Keeping Up With The Johns': May 2015
http://ellisandamanda.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Keeping Up With The Johns'. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. - Psalm 127:1. Monday, May 25, 2015. This past Saturday, Mac surprised us all. He came running out the door holding a tiny baby tooth in his hand. I hope I never forget the look on his face: it was a perfect blend of excitement, surprise, and pure happiness wrapped up in one unforgettable expression. The sentiment was contagious! Sunday, May 17, 2015. A Very Sweet Sunday. After church we headed to the Fournier's for...

Keeping Up With The Johns': January 2015

Keeping Up With The Johns'. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. - Psalm 127:1. Wednesday, January 14, 2015. Can you see the speckles of snow dust in these photos? I guess that's all you need for a snow day in Charlottesville! Mac's school was cancelled today due to a single cm of snowfall. We have been celebrating our snow day in the usual ways: we've stayed in our pajamas, watched some favorite TV shows, played outside and then come in for some warm hot chocolate. We had also s...

Keeping Up With The Johns': Family Reunion
http://ellisandamanda.blogspot.com/2015/07/family-reunion.html
Keeping Up With The Johns'. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. - Psalm 127:1. Thursday, July 9, 2015. Several weeks ago we had a really fun weekend in West Virginia for a family reunion. We loved getting to spend some time with Grandpa Dean and Grandma, and especially getting to meet more of Grandpa Dean's family. On Sunday morning we all piled into a canoe and took off up the river. It was fun getting to ride together in the same boat, but I will add that it becomes very d...

Keeping Up With The Johns': February 2015
http://ellisandamanda.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Keeping Up With The Johns'. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. - Psalm 127:1. Saturday, February 21, 2015. A Foot of Snow in Cville. Talk about a sweet surprise today! The weather forecast called for just a few inches of snow in the afternoon, but we had a steady accumulation of big, feathery snowflakes starting at 9am and continuing all day long. The heavens declare the glory of God;. The skies proclaim the work of his hands.". Wednesday, February 18, 2015. One afternoon after...

Keeping Up With The Johns': Happy Father's Day
http://ellisandamanda.blogspot.com/2015/07/happy-fathers-day.html
Keeping Up With The Johns'. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. - Psalm 127:1. Sunday, July 12, 2015. Father's Day weekend was a pretty busy one for Ellis this year. He left early Friday morning, and we really didn't see him again until Monday. He ended up being on call on a weekend full of emergencies and babies being born. The view of the mountains at the hospital is really beautiful. I hope I get a room with a good view in December! I was reminded that Mac made a similar gift...

Keeping Up With The Johns': August 2015
http://ellisandamanda.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Keeping Up With The Johns'. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. - Psalm 127:1. Thursday, August 13, 2015. David is always acting so much older than Corrie or Mac did at his age. He truly does all that he can to manuever his way into whatever his older brother and sister are doing, and I think he is thoroughly convinced that he is just as old and big as they are (maybe older). I am happy to see that Davey is still little, for little while longer at least. :). Hall Family de Brazil.

Keeping Up With The Johns': House of Inventions
http://ellisandamanda.blogspot.com/2015/06/house-of-inventions.html
Keeping Up With The Johns'. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. - Psalm 127:1. Saturday, June 20, 2015. Honestly, even though it can be a bit of a pain stumbling upon the kids' (and Ellis') various "inventions" (which in the kids' cases, always seem to happen in the bathroom sink), I guess you can't deny that their creativity is endearing in its own, quirky way.
