Memory Lane …

These two pictures are from way back (2005).  I miss my older two boys being that little.  But I’m also having so much fun with them right now.

These two pictures of Eli are from 2009.  And I just think he’s cute as a button!

My heart bursts with joy whenever I think of how blessed I am to be their mom!

Splish Splash!

 

Well, we are on day 725 of vacuuming water out of our basement.  (okay, that might be rounded up)  ;)  We had so much rain in July and it just has nowhere to go, so it’s finding its way into a lot of basements – ours included.  Today has been bright and sunny, and I am SO thankful.  There is more rain in the forecast, but only slight chances of it – so maybe it won’t even come.  That would be okay!

This picture below was our ditch on Monday, while it was still raining …

This is Eli helping in the basement – kind of makes the water seem less bad.  Especially since he’s in his pj’s.  Cute stuff!  Hmm – where are our older boys??

Testing 1, 2, 3 …

Okay, so I am testing this whole blog concept (and getting some training from Kelli) … so here’s a test post.  It doesn’t have any fun or witty sayings – just a picture of some people who are precious to me. :) 

So here are a couple of things that are going on this weekend.  Matt is heading to the races in Newton, and the boys and I are going to take our first camping trip without him.  Okay – so I guess he had a hand it in since he had to bring the camper away, and he’ll have to go and pick it up too…  guess I’m not as self-sufficient as I first thought.  ;)

Broadening My Horizons

A blog? From Kristi? The earth must be spinning right off its axis!  I have no idea what I'm doing here, so I guess I'll just learn as I go. 

The purpose of this blog is just to document some of the the things that go on at our house.  The boys are growing much too fast - and it's so hard to remember all the little things that make our life so full!  Here's hoping I can keep up with them AND a blog!  Ha!  :)
