Where did the time go? Can it REALLY be ten months?
I’ve really missed you all, and I’ve missed blogging!
Let me catch you up a little…
Last March we decided to make a move- a change in lifestyle is more like it.
We packed up our house in suburbia and moved into a 100 year old farmhouse- just for a year… to see what it would be like.
We gave the kids new kinds of chores, like…
feeding the chickens before school
and
taking care of the barn.
We found out
we LOVE it!
We ARE “country” after all (except I still love to shop at Nordstrom)!
It turns out lots of people like to get married here.
Lots of catering happens in my kitchen-
which means
there is often quite a buzz here, and I love it!
I am loving learning how to make new foods…
I especially love the baking!
The lighting in the barn is just exquisite for picture taking.
So is the afternoon light in the inside porch.
I look forward to showing you all the wonderful little things that make this place so special. Beach Bunny (three-and-a-half years old) said to me the other day, “Mama, this house is turning out to be a great place after all!”
I definitely agree!

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".
