Morning/almost afternoon window shots, math, coffee, music, cleaning & organizing, and getting winter clothes out. Life is beautiful!

Fall is coming

On the left is my desk filled with books to read, school, and articles to write! On the right is my window with morning light and a still fan. It's a cool fall morning, and I can't wait to see more of The Lord today!

Living Life

Books are full of stories that make us dream and hope! School is something that everyone needs to make a informed choices! Work is something everyone has to do to respect what they/others have. Failing is something everyone has to do to know what it's like to fly! Living is what you do to learn what it's like to make, destroy, and rebuild relationships. You have to do a little of everything to know what it's like to live, and live well!

family

I'm not even out of the house yet and I already miss these moments. Watching the the baby learning to walk, she's starting to let go of things and stand for a couple second, the toddler (Rosie!) taking turns hugging her to death and/or taking everything away from her. Rosie still playing with new fly swatters (maybe being kind enough to share with the baby. ;) ) and her still try to be the baby and big sister. The boys in the morning waking out of their room with out shirts on, and laying around the living room stead of doing their chores. While Suzie Q lays in bed her only motivation to get out of it food. Jonathan either the first up or the last, either the grump or the sunshine. Emily nearly always the last up, always tired, and nearly always feeling bad. Morning events are always interesting!

 Thing about taking a selfies at the table (the above and below pictures) is that your sure

to get photo bombed or other people in the picture!

A little art

Sometimes I do art, other times I just play around. Not sure which this was!

Life is an Art

Life is full of art, it just depends on what type if art it is! Whether cultivating plants and relationships, drawing and painting, writing stories, organizing and cleaning, or just gaining and sharing knowledge with the amazing people you know. It's all an art, just do it to the best you can, and learn most about that/those art(s)! (I've been finding out more and more what I do and don't know.) One key to life is being able to say I don't know this, but that person does, and they do a wonderful job with it!!Life is full of art, it just depends on what type if art it is!

Sundays

Sunday mornings are crazy! Making breakfast, (actually eating breakfast!), clean up chores, dressing seven younger kids (making sure they ALL have SHOES!), keeping kids clean while you get dressed, and in the end going to church without shoes yourself along with unbridled and unbrushed oily hair. (That's not counting the fact that I broke a glass, and had to clean up a lot of smoothie. And couldn't find appropriate and comfortable clothes.) Life is crazy and some how I love it like crazy too!

My feet on a Sunday afternoon after doing chores barefoot. Covered in thick skin, callouses, and scars. Grass seeds, parts of the earth, fresh and dead grass, and lots of rain. Life is made for running!
