  • Beware of Pirates

    Beware of Pirates

    I don’t know what the children enjoy more – dressing themselves up – or dressing Indigo up. She’s like everyone’s favorite doll. Here she is armed and dangerous. One more pirate photo. This one is Colter with his dangerous weapons – two half finished goat bottles. They complete the outfit, don’t you think? Sometimes I…

  • LaLa

    LaLa

    A good friend of ours knitted a doll for Indigo for her birthday. Indigo is very much a “girly girl” and instantly fell in love with the doll. That evening Jim asked her, “Do you like your doll?” Indigo vigorously nods head. “Does your doll have a name?” Indigo slowly and thoughtfully nods head. “What…

  • Pretty Hair

    Pretty Hair

    Indigo has discovered “hair things” She goes a little overboard.    

  • Isn’t She Just So Cute?

    Isn’t She Just So Cute?

    Ok, I’m completely biased. But I just think Indigo is way too cute. She’s at that age where she has realized she can make us laugh. So she just goes around entertaining everyone. Someone recently gave Indigo a toddler bed. She was very excited to play in it. She even took her nap in it.…

  • Tools, NOT Toys

    Tools, NOT Toys

  • Garbage Gleanings

    Garbage Gleanings

    I mentioned before that Jim was a science teacher. When we moved to Indiana he chose to forgo all the glamour of teaching in order to have more emotional energy for his family. He surprised us all (including himself) by becoming a garbage man. Jim was (and still is) a great teacher. But there are…

  • Mmmmmmmm, Peppers!

    Mmmmmmmm, Peppers!

    Moving to Indiana, I had to learn how to garden all over again. My first two gardening seasons here were pretty pathetic by my standards. This is the first year I’ve been somewhat pleased, which isn’t bad considering we’ve been in a pretty bad drought and Jade was born in July. Side note – there…

  • Daddy Solutions

    Daddy Solutions

    Have you ever noticed that moms and dads respond to the same situations very differently? I know this, and yet, Jim still surprises me with how differently he handles some of the problems our family is always creating. I easily admit that many of his solutions are better than mine. But quite often, Jim will…
