1st Camping of the Season

Off to McIver Park in the Portland area for camping fun. We were there with our friends the Doty's to celebrate Kaden's 1st birthday. The girls love to get dirty and they enjoyed the digging and bug finding. Stella was in love with the "pata-do-do's" i.e. catapillers. Makayla & Adrianne had whole bug lives planned for their little friends. We biked and walked and played. Fun was had by all (except for bed time but that is a whole other story).

Sunshine & Flowers & Dirt! We love it!

Our favorite activities at Grandpa Tom's: collecting rocks, picking "flowers", watering plants, feeding the plants dirt & rocks and making mud soup.

Dreams coming true!

This is where we started just a few months ago. It was hard for me to even dream since my mind couldn't see where we are headed.




Getting water in the well!


It amazes me how each day there is transformation and progress. Now I can imagine my kids on the porch coloring or in the garden picking flowers. I can see myself looking out the windows at the wild dogwood trees. There is still a ton left to do, but it is fun to see my dream take shape.
