Made a simple, sturdy bench for our younger children to use at the table. Made it out of 4 2×6’s, and it cost me under $15. Now, Our three children don’t have to share two chairs. It actually works great.
My first tattoo
After 25 years of wanting a tattoo, I finally got one today. I think it’s fitting that my first one is of Mary’s fingerprint over my heart. She has touched my heart in so many ways.
Making gingerbread houses
Boys against the girls
Real Christmas tree
After 20 years of Christmases together, we bought our first live tree tonight. We brought 4 of our children with us. It was a pleasant experience. And our home smells like a forest. 🙂
Fire hall tour
I took Ash, Ace, and Quillan to a tour of the downtown fire hall today with a bunch of other home schooling familes.
Waterton trip
We took a family trip to Waterton today. We hiked Bear’s Hump, checked out Cameron Falls, and hiked Red Rock Canyon. For me and Ash, Ace, and Quillan, it was our first time hiking Bear’s Hump.
Siobhán is here!
Siobhán is the newest addition to our family. She was born yesterday morning, and also happens to be our last baby.
Choo choo
During family scripture study this morning, we each took turns reading a verse. When it was Quillan’s turn, someone would read a word aloud, and he would repeat it. His verse was John 20:28.
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
When the person reading said, “Thomas”, however, Quillan said “choo coo” instead.
Ace lost their first tooth
Ace lost their first tooth today. It had become quite loose, and they asked me to remove it for them.
I think they might of been the youngest of the children when losing a first tooth.
New family history website
We recently completed a new family history website. The focus of it is to highlight families on whose lines we have come to a dead end.
It’s pretty basic. It has no design applied yet, and we have only four families at the moment. We hope to spruce it up and add more families in the near future.
Let us know what you think.
