Things have been busy here at the homestead. Besides doing upstairs (so close to done!), on “ugh I am sick of working inside” days, we have ventured out and completed (and started) a few other things. By 9pm I am ready for bed. It’s not so much the physical working as the mental working of…
Drywall Sucks
There I said it. Wow does that make me feel better! Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I, you know, knew what I was doing. But alas I am a complete novice. I thought for sure it wouldn't be much of an issue. Throw up the sheets, spend a few days mudding, bam, done! …
Crater of Diamonds State Park
What a day this was! 3 families - 10 children (6 were ours and 2 of theirs were missing) plus a field of dirt, mud and the possibility of diamonds! This was one of the rare moments she let me put her down. Lots of people, unsteady ground, I can see how it was intimidating.…
Writing on the Studs – Photo Details
This is just a more in-depth look at this post. Warning: This is an incredibly long post mostly for our memory book. This is only upstairs, the children's rooms. I picked verses about character, blessings and training. Every stud has a verse. Front window: East wall: West wall:
Happy 7th Birthday Missy!

Soo… you know how that goes. https://web.archive.org/web/20160302042720im_/http://togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/wpid-20140327_174209.jpg https://web.archive.org/web/20160302042720im_/http://togethersimply.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/wpid-20140327_182822.jpg
Writing on the Studs – Verses
I decided to break this into 2 posts because, well... I have no good reason other than I am doing these on my phone and apparently I was killing the picture post with to much data. Um, oops. So here we are. This is the detailed scriptures version of this post that explains more of the…
Drywall – Day 2
Also known as running a marathon while lifting weights. This is how we ended Day 1. Only 2 sheets left on the side walls and the ceiling to do for Day 2. No problem right? First I want to say that I am even more upset with the guy that did the insulation. The second…
Drywall Day 1
Yall the day finally arrived! What a beautiful site right! So much excitement (yay drywall!) Mixed with a bit of dread (ugh I stink royally at mudding!). But no pain, no gain right? And that pain would be quick to follow. The next day we set to work. Moving all of this: So we could…

Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday. The day we join together with others, form into that long line and as Father wipes the cross onto our foreheads we hear those words "remember you are dust and to dust you will return". What a sobering thought. Tonight, tonight is different for some reason. And I am filled with hope. …
