a journal of our journey
My baby is one and a half years old. And just like that I am one of the thousands of mothers before me that have asked the same question – how did that happen? This morning I put splash pants and rubber boots on Ella + Oscar and they went out to play. Of course they found the largest deepest puddle and their boots were full of water. These are the days. …
There is a sticky layer on the floors inside and out of watermelon juice and popsicle drips. The camper is cleaned out and ready for the next trip. The garden is at the moment looks rather nice. God has sent rain and what a delight that is. The smell of rain is enough to send me straight to my bed for a cozy nap with the window wide open. …
My favourite season may not be summer. I love summer. I love the ease of going in and out. Especially with children. But suddenly when the hot is getting a little long, I look forward…
It is a cooker. But this ICF house has been the real deal! I have not had to turn the A/C on and we have took sweet relief of the coolness inside. It’s weird how suddenly we are blasted with such heat. I blew up a little pool for the kids and me on the porch. We picked wild sunflowers and pretty blue flowers from my garden.

Believe it or not Ohio gets snow in April too. We woke to a couple inches on the ground a couple mornings ago. The last couple days have been abit cooler and there has been a for more flakes + rain.…
Ella still talks about going on an airplane every day. I mentioned something about living in El Salvador the other day and later that day she was talking about all the big kids and Oscar and all the little kids going on a jet airplane to El Salvador. How does she know it takes a jet to get there? …
Today was the day I was brave and brought my children to the zoo. I didn’t have very high expectations but I was still a little overwhelmed and stuff. Its just nice to do that sort of thing with more than one adult I guess! But we managed to see some of the animals and what we did see was fun and interesting! It is an absolutely gorgeous hot day again today……
The grass is being mowed. The shrubs are being pruned and fresh mulch is being spread. The leaves on the trees are starting to show and there are some beautiful blooming trees. Pink and white and purple. Magnolias and cherry trees. Its beauty all right.…
