Stories From Around Our House. Kids Tell the Truth Sometimes. August 4, 2015. August 4, 2015. Kids have a way of saying what is on their minds. It’s sometimes loving and kind…other times I may not want to hear it. Like when Mack would squish my upper arm and tell me he likes how my arm is so soft. Or when Molly tells me one tooth of mine looks a little darker than all the rest. Gee. Thanks, Molly. 8221; “Why would they vote “no? 8221; “Should we stop paying taxes if the money goes to killing babies?

We have budgeted and made goals for our money and then we see pictures from someone’s beach vacation and start to doubt that we have made the right decision…”squirrel! So where was I? Purpose, not our own.”. I {heart} my family!

Stories From Around Our House. My kiddos met their new cousin! August 29, 2015. August 29, 2015. We all went over the other night to finally get our hands on little Deacon. He is so adorable!

I didn’t even elbow my way in to first place; I was quite patient until it was my turn. We are very happy for Merrilee and Jason. What an adventure they are on! August 28, 2015.
