CURRENTLY // 5.17.21

reading | finishing up a Grandma's Attic book so I can read the library book I got today: A Country Doctor's Casebook. Also reading Mere Christianity occasionally with my Bible reading

 playing | dollhouse with Evy quite a bit. It's her favorite thing to do lately 

watching | 7th Heaven episodes when I'm up in the middle of the night feeding Clint. It takes me back to my grandma's house for some reason...I suspect we watched it with her when she wasn't watching Walker (haha!)

trying | to cook one new recipe a week

cooking | ham...I baked one using my aunt's "recipe" for potluck yesterday and it was delicious (if I do say so myself)

eating | Lotsa Crumb Cake by Christy Jordan- also made for potluck

drinking | water and wishing it was sweet tea all day long

calling | Clint's doctor to make his 9 month appointment. I can't believe he's that old already!

texting | my Mom about their trip out here, and my sister about talking this week

pinning | an assortment of clothes, quilts, house stuff and crafts. Anything that suits my fancy, I guess

crafting | not much, more like fixing broken toys and books

sewing | tiny pillows and blankets for aforementioned dollhouses

going | to the library and grocery store as usual. Did a little yard-saling last weekend. Would you want to see what I got? 

loving | chubby baby cheeks and belly

hating | how fast time goes by

discovering | home videos are the best

enjoying | tiny adventures with my family (like fishing in the rain)

thinking | I need to get the kids in their rooms for quiet time

feeling | so undeservedly loved by God

hoping | to sew culottes for Evy with my Mom this week

listening | to lots of movie soundtracks lately

celebrating | the everyday-at least I'm trying to

smelling | the fresh smell of rain on grass

finishing | our life-chapter here at Knollwood

starting | a new chapter in a house outside of town. We'll be moving to a new house this summer...it feels bittersweet. I have loved this house and the times we've spent here, but I'm excited to get out into the country on our own land and teach the kids to love the woods like I learned to when I was a child.
