Darby's first gig....

She is opening @ ArtLife Presents for :jona. Yay! Go, Darby!

My daughter

Darby, she is the love of my life. She is strong, generous, sweet, thoughtful, talented, & creative. I love that she has always loved her red hair and that she was always so glad that we could never find anything with her name on it. Those always have to be special order, just like her!

siCk.....

This week was BRUTAL! Everyone but me got sick and with realLY high feveRs , scary!
I was checking temps every 20 minutes, all 3 kids! We had a couple of 104's sneak up very quickly, so i was very on top of the stripping down, wiping with a tepid cloth, and the drinks of EVERY kind!!
Thank God for our little stove!!
Not much to do but stories and videos....
I thought homemaDe cinnamon rolls would help. It made the whole house smell cozy....
Darby read 4 Annette Mysteries...
I allowed them outside for 10 minutes just to see the pond frozen ( Max is OBSESSED with water of any kind).
And poOr max was hit the hardest. This is day 5 for him, today. I am trying to look at it like, I got to cuddle the kids that are sometimes too busy for a cuddle, even though I am emotionally and physically speNt!!

A littLe wild vine that keeps coming up around our property.
One of my little cuKes.
Platform feeder my Man made from a cedar limb and old feeder that fell apart/
I put birdhouses on the corner posts of my garden.
A trEe house we built for the kiddos.
These draw birds in to the garden and they help catch the bugs ( especially the little wrens)!

Will have to post several of these!!

THE best place to drink hoT beverages!







This huge guy was on a rock my son put on his sand table. I was a bit afraid of him because of his size! He's almost the size of my son's Godzilla behind him!
sweet kisses...
Sometimes new life can look not-so-pretty, but pretty amazing! This is a Cicada, hatching out of it's shell.
This is who we refer to as our "dingo". Her name is Kunai ( Koo-Nie). A type of grass that grows in Papua New Guinea. She loves playing in our 'wet weather creek & pond!'
We found several of these guys on the property. Sometimes we keep them for a while, but always let them go. They like it here and have been here for years.
My youngest, Max with a little toad. One of my fave creatures!
