A Couple of Cute Things from the Last Couple of Days

Every once in a while, you get what I call a pic dump here on the blog. It tends to be just a handful of things that didn’t really warrant their own post, but are still cute, and still things I’d like to share! Unfortunately I don’t have recent pictures of ALL the kids to share in this one, but I have most of them. I promise I love them all equally!

So we begin.

First off, I’ll show you Brady after he vacuumed his hair before coming into the house after he was working on the lathe. Ya. I’m not kidding. He took a shop vac to his hair. He looks a little insane, but also, look at how that bright grey tuft of hair in the front has all become ONE CURL! Cool hey?!

He’s been sprouting greys for a good few years now, but that grey streak only showed up when his back and legs started to act up. Crazy what a tumour can do! (Feels important to note that I accidentally typed the word “humour” instead of tumour.”)

Miss Laela and I have grown SO CLOSE over the last year. She has always been nurturing and warm, and just itches to help and work and be responsible for things. I regularly pray over her that she can remain young for as long as possible, because she is just desperate to be grown up πŸ’œ My dear Laela. If I ever seem at all distressed or tired, she will come intentionally to lay a hand or face on me, and reassure me.

She is really really soft.

My kids were really fortunate to get to spend quality time with their grandmas this weekend!

They spent a whole day across the street. Grandma Rae took this pic of Wavy helping plant her starters πŸ’œ There was some good bonding to be had over that bowl of dirt.

And then Sunday, we had the pleasure of having my mom over ALL day!! Stories and cards were out all the live long day!

Today, Laela has taken the time to make name signs for every single bedroom door in our house, and then she put up a sign in our dining room. She said she just picked a verse from the bible at random to add to the sign. I think she did pretty well πŸ’œ

We all ate a big lunch, and now comes quiet time. Our cold is over, but my voice doesn’t feel 100% so I’m getting a cup of tea and heading to my crocheting. I always want to love tea. Its so pretty and smells so good, but I just cant get into it. I hope this doesn’t end my friendship with the Kennedys 😬 You guys good? I have to say, though, Costco got in Cold 911 from Davids Tea, and it really hits the spot for me. My kids have coined the name “sickness tea.” Lol!

Stay well, friends. The school week starts again tomorrow, but its absolutely beautiful out today!! Soak it up!
