~Happy 9th Birthday Abbey ~

Last week our sweet baby girl turned 9.   I don't know where time goes.  Seems like just yesterday we could hardly wait for her to arrive....and she did come the closest to her due date of all of our babies.  She is quite the little helper around here!!!  We love you Abbey Marie and hope you had a wonderful birthday :)

this moment.....A Friday ritual....a single photo....no words....capturing a moment from the week.  A simple, special, extraordinary moment.   A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.  I would love for you to leave a link to your moment in the comments section.

~ Music ~

If I wasn't real careful I might could lead you to believe we like music around here.....haha!!! Bluegrass /Gospel music actually plays a very big part in making our little world go 'round.  Besides being rather contagious among family and friends.....it just makes you feel good to play / listen to it.  We owe our thanks to all of you who have taught us and inspired us to learn to play a little ( and our support group who doesn't seem to mind listening too much while we practice) ....without you, our journey would be much harder !!!

Just a little peek into our lives lately.....

Not a whole lot of news from our little corner of the world. In addition to all the adventure and fun that goes with raisin' a family......we are thankful to be getting rid of a "bug" we've been sharing....finishing up the school year.....gettin' plenty of rain.  Thank you for stopping by and hope you all have a wonderful day !!!

These Days I am:

  • lovin' the warm sunny weather.
  • so happy to have our garden planted.
  • eating lots of fresh salad.
  • lovin' how our new honeybees and baby chicks have adapted to the farm.
  • wishin' it would rain on our garden.
  • enjoying the (oh-so-short-lived) days of havin' all six of our children still at home.
  • tryin' to adjust to the fact that one of my children will soon leave the nest.
  • lovin' the way it feels to wind up our school year.
  • slowly shifting into my favorite season of the year. (Summer)
  • so thankful for my hardworkin' man who so faithfully continues to take care of us.
  • missin' a very dear "Aunt" who left us this Spring.
  • thrivin' on lots of nieces, nephews and friends who are willing to hang out with us.
  • enjoyin' plenty of "Bluegrass" music :).


What's going on in your world today?  Wishing you all a wonderful and blessed week!!!
