Just a Day in the Life

11/25/2019

Here are a few pictures of life here recently. 


My 11 year old son spent a week in Wisconsin this month, deer hunting with Grandpa K. He enjoyed the time away but we were glad to have him back home.


This little girl loves to look pretty (she differentiates between pretty and cute now. Cute is too childish so she doesn't want to be told that she's cute, but she just glows when she is told she looks pretty or beautiful). So we sometimes set her hair in curlers on Saturday nights so she'll have some curl on Sunday mornings.


The curl doesn't show up a lot, but it's there. 


She took her first selfie not long ago.


The kids were asking if we could make some pumpkin pies recently. So one morning I had the energy to tackle it, with my three little helpers stirring the flour for the crust and helping measure ingredients for the pie filling. Homemade pumpkin pie goes quick at my house!


This little boy found a marker and wrote all over himself, his crib, his wall and his dresser one afternoon. Here's got the magic eraser to help clean it all up.


The two little boys together. They basically wear the same clothes now. The one is a big 2 year old, wearing size 3. The other is 4 years old, but can wear size 3 or 4. In my mind, they are a bit like twins. 


Super cute. I just love kids in hats.


While we're remodeling our bathroom, the little kids have taken some baths in the kitchen sink. A fun adventure for them. 


My oldest daughter really loves Wednesday night youth group at our church. Here's her 11th grade girls group (and their fearless leaders) at a recent women's gathering. 

Days are so full of activity, noise, and chaos. Yet I know that the days are passing quickly. So a post like this forces me to slow down a little and see the little things I'm likely to forget and to realize how blessed I am to spend my days with these people!
