helpful HOCO helper

 Ryder asked his date to homecoming and had the sweetest helper to make it come together:

They are excited about HOCO and Eden can not wait for her first high school dance!

making their mark…

 This last weekend while we were at the cabin, the kids got to update their growth markings on the wall!

I love that we have this at the cabin!

Labor Day Weekend

We got to be with close friends in Shaver Lake over Labor Day weekend!

It was a quick trip but it was so good! We spent time at the cabin making meals, taking walks to the pond, playing games, watching comedy shows on YouTube tube and doing a whole bunch of laughing and talking. 

We spent one day hiking into the Burn for fishing, cliff jumping, and natural water slides. (Hank was sick so he had stayed home  that day…)

Then we spent a day at the lake!

Last dinner at Pub and Grub:

We had such an amazing time connecting with people we love so much!

crafting meditation…

 Over the years, I have made knitted garlands for different parties, gatherings, and decorations. I can listen to devotionals, audible books, music, and my hands can just make them without even looking. They are nothing fancy but I really enjoy making them!

It is so therapeutic and brings me so much joy, AND it gives me an arsenal of colors to use when the time comes!
