Wednesday

Posting Multitude Monday... two days late... that's just life lately ... running in full tilt everywhere, and then passing out too early due to baby #4. Insert all the yikes and yays for that news! With the 1st trimester here, the all day sickness has joined, but with 3 active kids and a job and ... the list goes on.. the sickness needs to get away fast! Diet Ginger ale is my new bestie. I have no desire at all for coffee and oh I miss it!!!

We will find joy in this journey!💚

Thankful for healthy baby #4, even at an extremely early stage.

Thankful for catching Hannah's reaction on video. #Priceless

Thankful for our kids loving their early before school routine. Hudson woke up today and said Wahoo! Ivy League. (Even at 6:05 am! What a trooper!)

Thankful for a fun fall field trip to a new to me pumpkin patch and apple orchard! It was a chilly day but it was so fun! The cider donuts smelled good! My new taste buds were not having any of the sweet and acidic cider or donuts, but I did score some pie :) #teacherperks

Thankful for Matt taking a day off to chaperone with Hudson's class to the Pumpkin Patch and Farm!

 Hudsie's two missing teeth really show in this pic! 😍

Thankful for surviving the crazy wind and snow at soccer! And let's be extra thankful for this weekend being the final Soccer Saturday! We miss our lazy mornings and Gym time!

 Thankful for the big hearts of Matt & Katelyn to host a fun Costume party!
Harrison's "costume" for trick or treat is a cool light up outfit, that would be lost in a lit house! So we came up with a fast 2nd idea. Trump! And his impressions matched. The amount of bronzer used was too funny!

 Thankful for the best chauffeur out there!! 1am delivery! They partied hard and had such a fun time!

 Peanut Butter Jelly Time! #socute

Thankful for tasty supper, their beautiful home tour and cozy chat time with Sherri and Craig

Thankful for this love bug. How angelic,

Thankful for our fast Cross Country team! Coaching this year was harder than before, just with the adjustment of commuting again and whatevs... but the season was super short, and now the memories and time spent with the teens makes my heart happy... they raced on the coldest day yet, and our bus was 30 minutes LATE at pickup, so they were tired frozen and starving, but they are now done and had such a great short season!

Look closely! There's a whole flock of runners in those trees!

Thankful for an early Trunk or Treat event! It gave us a practice run for how truly unprepared for fall we are! Chasing Fireflies has the cutest costumes, and we loved looking and looking and looking! We settled on this beaut and she loved it! Isn't that headband so fun!?

Thankful for sunny days and a great trail by our house! The trail looped us to these stairs. An old toboggan run turned into a stair workout!

Thankful for sharing in the joys of teaching the littles again at Sunday School.
Songs have been on my heart and the fact that the tunes can stick with us all day every day, sometimes better than a story can! So we have been working on Sunday School songs on the weeks I teach and linking them to the Gospel, which is so easily done! This week was This Little Light of Mine, and our L snack and Glow Stick time!

And fangs :)

Thankful for Sunday nap time.

Thankful for Sherri and Craig and their love to support Matt & my classrooms with da food! YUM!

Thankful for Wisdom Hunters and their great devotions!

As a follower of Jesus, I know in my head I am to perpetually forgive, but this truth does not always migrate to my heart. It is a struggle to be patient with, much less pardon, those who are reckless with their words and angry in their attitude. My heartfelt forgiveness does not catch up with my head knowledge until I truly take to heart the depth and breadth of God’s forgiveness. “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace” (Ephesians 1:7).

What an awesome short work week and long weekend!

Thankful for a 4 day weekend!
Thankful for a cute new movie to go snuggle and watch! Smallfoot is adorbs!

 Thankful for this book recommendation.

 Thankful for these three. Never a dull moment, but gym time is happy time!

 Thankful for fun work peeps for Matt! And for their bravery with the escape room! Seems like they paid 40 bucks for torture! Why would you want to be trapped!?

 Thankful for Hannah's rock wall skillz!

 This seems like an ideal Hudson sport too! He is so strong and fearless and loves "flying".

 Happy 7-0 to our wonderfully patient, spunky & fun, Dutch Blitz and Domino loving Mom/Mimi!
What a fun birthday weekend!

 Thankful for Kamilla and Dusty hosting!

Thankful for a new cute kiddo hair spot!

 With Harrison getting his own room, the trio is now separated at night. Hannah hasn't been without Harrison for a long time and was super apprehensive. Neon fish did the trick! Welcome Berry and Dash!

 This handsome teen scarfed his burrito DOWN

 Thankful to be enjoying seasons again!
