Snuggles

 

One of many reasons I love being a mommy…snuggles

Lewis and Ryan

These two boys are full of love for each other. Their imaginations are great, they talk full speed, and their laughter is loud. God is so good! I am beyond thankful and Blessed. 

 

Snow in Seattle

Boys ready to play in the snow. They played for 30 minutes…creating childhood memories. 

 

Turning Inward

I am fighting the urge to not turn inward. Turning inward is what I did before. Shutting out the ones I loved outside our family of four. 

Fear of the consistent comments of “when I was a kid that was not allowed, in my family that was not accepted whatsoever, send him to his room, yell back, put him over you knee, let him cry it out and avoid him…”

Avoiding, separating, and /or yelling is not what will smooth his road, sure fire way to make his road ahead filled with potholes.  

Life is HARD…having community, support and deeply loved is often what is holding me together.

"Once Upon A Manger: A paper bag pageant"

We really enjoyed Philadelphia Church this past Sunday, we started attending PC this summer.  

Harrison attended Little Feats Preschool (at PC) for one year before moving to India. Lewis attended all his preschool years at Little Feats. Being welcomed with open arms and sermon focused deeply on scripture. God is good...all the time. 

 

6th grade math class

"In 6th grade math, students have been practicing prime factorization and visualizing number relationships (an example of a number visualization found here). They worked in groups to create a visual that represented the prime factorization of a single 4-digit number or a variety of smaller numbers."- Sarah (Math teacher)

Rocking Math class! Loving and thriving at Billings!
