A Giant Hole, Cupcakes, and Being Okay with Failing

We have a giant hole in our yard! This is a good thing, though. It means we are making progress on installing our new hot tub.

The plan is to fill the hole in with crushed limestone and then add pavers on top so the hot tub has a level spot to rest on in the yard. The bonus is that it will extend our patio a bit!

Niva is in heaven with the hole and extra dirt in the yard. I am in overdrive cleaning mode. 😉 (more…)

Catching Up and Growing Up

I feel like I haven’t blogged in forever! Life has been extra full lately. Some of the fun stuff we have going on:

  • We’re hosting Friday night Bible studies at our house for the next several weeks.
  • Jimmy and I are taking a marriage class together.
  • I’m helping to get a homeschool co-op started for the beginning of next school year.
  • I’m studying and preparing a Bible study for the mom’s group at our church.
  • We’ve been bringing Jimmy’s step sister to church with us!

Add to that list the usual stuff I do: real estate work, homeschooling Sadie, caring for our five month old baby, housekeeping, laundry, and cooking. No wonder blogging has fell to the wayside a bit lately!
