Loose Ends

I found Charlie's testimony written in an old set of scriptures. Precious!

Charlie had awesome Hobbit hair for the Selects season.

I noticed Charlie added Ezra to his list of things he didn't want to forget in the morning before he left for the hill.

We picked up a harmonica in celebration of finishing our book Echo. I recommend this book!

Jacob playing glow disc golf.

I love these notes on my side table and little bits of nature.

Jane has inspiring lists posted in her room.

We found this giant mouse and we both thought for sure it was Primrose from Brambly Hedge, which are Hazel's favorite books.

Mariah supplies us with makey things we never would have thought of on our own. Perfect for Hazel who happens to be super makey.

Jacob is makey in his own way. None of the rest of us have any clue what this contraption is all about.

We had November Christmas at Mark and Mariah house. It was wonderous! Mariah made the glorious Turkey and Mark put up Christmas lights and basically they just made everything magical and Christmassy early.

We spent hours at house of wheels with the cousins. So much fun!

We were so happy to be at Maddie's birthday party.

This moment was so special. Maddie reached out for strength from her mom when she was feeling too much attention on her and it helped her through the moment. Luckily we got a photo to remember.

Months later my kids would comment about this story time. It was impressive to see how all these cousins are readers enjoy a good story. Mariah had them throw tinsel on the tree after she finished.
