Category Archives: Day in the Life This is what my living room has been transformed to…Navajo territory… I made these tents several Christmases ago–and BEST HOME-MADE GIFT EVER…3 years later they still play with them ALL THE TIME. They love to take them outside in the spring, summer and fall…and when it’s chilly…my living room turns into the coolest tent territory:) […]  I have no words as my heart is overwhelmed tonight with such thanksgiving and joy at all the Lord has done and all He continues to do! Tetiana and her parents came over tonight for dinner–and it was such fun being with their most precious family! And…it was so fun to see the kids all […]  On homeschool and needing just a little extra time… We had a pretty chill week this week! Rico Suave and I started it out by visiting a few homeschool co-op schools that offer classes 2 days a week or half days and such. We are praying about the year ahead and knowing we will have […] I wish I was your next door neighbor!! I think our families would have a blast together!!!! I’m all about letting my littles be LITTLE! 🙂 We have a very laid back approach to life (of course lots of passion too… but we don’t stress the unimportant “stuff.”) Love ya!!! Hi! I realized through reading your blog that we live in the same area. I used to teach for a homeschool group called Veritas Classical Schools. It’s an AMAZING Christian school where kids go one to two days a week. Just wanted to give it a shout-out in case that’s the route you decide to go. 🙂 The phone conversation was adorable. My grandfather was a quarterback at Alabama under Baer Bryant and my grandmother also went to Alabama and I grew up hearing her yell “Roll Tide.” Though it abviously didn’t rub off as we are brainwashing our children for A&M. :):) Just love the ideas behind 2 choices with peacemaker and problem maker… and what are you hands made for! just priceless tools thank you for your devotion to your blog and your precious children you are one awesome mom!  It’s a rare day when Rico and I get out…but we had a night out last night with Rico Suave’s side of the family as we celebrated cousin Emily’s SURPRISE 30th birthday (Kevin–you totally rocked it out of the park!). It was such fun hanging out with this crew (Can you find us in the […] You are crazy fun!!! Love it! Aww that sounds like a blast! You all will be sleeping away next week after all of that excitement! 😉 Our family will be praying your adoption papers go smoothly! How is Tetiana (sorry if I misspelled that :/)? I don’t do facebook so I haven’t heard from you about her! We pray for her to so glad she made it home!  First…our 2012 Halloween must be documented. Here’s the crew in their costumes (imagining what we’ll look like next year with baby Z with us–I can hardly stand it!)… As you can see–daddy was just daddy. Mommy, however, well…I was a boy-scout courtesy of Parker’s uniform… THEN…after lots of fun trick-or-treating…our Frankie baby turned 4 TODAY! […] As soon as I master (copy) one of your adorable craft ideas, you come up with another one! 🙂 My heart longs to adopt and maybe that’s why I already feel a bit like a fish out of water… I don’t know (or care) what’s trendy. I do know that I love my family and I love God’s plan for us… wherever that takes us! Thanks for the Thankful Tree idea! I like that much better than using actual sticks for the tree! Have a wonderful weekend! I DO know what you are feeling! I won’t go into details because it probably wouldn’t be holy thoughts, but I can relate and I just try and focus on God having ME in this situation right now whereas they might be working on other areas. We finally received our written referral for our two little guys after verbally accepting them a week and a half earlier! So glad to be on this roller coaster with you. Blessings We lost a referral a few weeks ago for twin boys. Even though our hearts were absolutley broken, we know that God is in control. But, I do so often feel like a fish out of water, because I but don’t relate to people some days. Thankful for the three kiddos that we have right now, but really longing to know who we have been waiting for all this time! Thanks for sharing your heart. Made me feel more “normal” today! 🙂 |

Would LOVE a tutorial on the tents! So cute!
i know you’re a home schooling mom so you would want to know, but the navajo did not live in teepees. they lived in dwellings called hogans. (http://navajopeople.org/navajo-hogans.htm)
i only know this because moseby’s birth mother is full-blooded (plains) cree so we’ve been getting lots of books/doing research so i can show him about that culture one day. and the cree DID live in buffalo hide teepees.
happy thanksgiving!
so sweet!!! Please write that tutorial soon because Mareto would LOVE a tent like that in his room!! I’m thinking it may be his Christmas gift this year! 😉
I would really like to make one of these tepees for Fisher for Christmas too! Can’t wait to see the tutorial!!!
