A Breath of Fresh Air

By -
Today was the first time in a long while that I got outside and went for a walk. For the last month or two Clark has been coming home from work in the afternoon and taking Kimball to school. Well today he had to be at work all day, so I had to get Kimball to school by myself. Luckily my in-laws are visiting and I didn't have to take all three kids with me. The sun is actually shining today (which doesn't usually last very long in England), so Kimball and I decided to walk to school. As I said earlier, it's been a while. While I was pregnant, I wasn't able to walk very long or far, so it felt great to be out and walking in the fresh air. It feels so good to have my body back and feel like life can start to get back to normal (although I know that's still going to take a while).

Way to go! Walks in fresh air with sunshine are SOOO refreshing. You're already out and about which is amazing. It looks like having your 3rd baby in England was a piece of cake for you!

Yes, sometimes a little time outdoors make everything better. So glad your in-laws are there and that you have had so many visitors. What a special time for you all. Hope you are getting a bit of sleep now and then too!

Catch Up, Part 2

These events aren't in chronological order. They're just in the order of the way the pictures uploaded to the post. House & Yard: After four years of living in this house, we've finally gotten around to finishing the yard. We built this house, so we had to start from scratch. We were doing a little at a time. Every year when we'd get our taxes back, we'd do something big on the yard. This year we decided to bite the bullet and just get the rest finished, and I am so glad we did. We had grass in the back, but that was it. No fence, no playground, no trampoline, no borders, no patio. Here's what the back of the house looked like before: We knew we always wanted a deck, so we finally had our neighbor build us one. When it was almost finished, our boys didn't like to go out on the deck because their feet got too hot (it's west facing). So we decided to have our neighbor add a roof to the deck. We are so glad we did. He did an awesome job and it looks gr...

The last time we got our family pictures taken was over three years ago when Sammy was a baby. Needless to say, we were overdue. Haley Warner took our pics, and I think they turned out darling. I'm just sad she's no longer taking family pictures after this year. Here's a sneak peek at how they turned out. To view all of them, you can visit our smugmug site :

Christmas Stockings

For most of the month of November I've been working on making Christmas stockings for my family. Over the years I've bought a $2 stocking here a $5 stocking there for each member of our family in hopes that one year I'd find the perfect stockings to decorate our house with at Christmas time. Well, I found them, thanks to Sharon's blog. She actually wrote about them last year, but being in England I didn't think about it. I found them again this year at this site . They are beautiful and exactly what I've been looking for. I was a little frustrated, however, at the cost of these gorgeous stockings and their holders. Here's a picture of my dream Christmas mantle from the website. Aren't the stockings and holders perfect? That's what I thought, until I saw the cost. I wasn't about to spend $38 a piece on stockings and $58 a piece on holders. I've got five people in my family so far. That's about $500 when you add tax and shipping. Nee...
