"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more.” Melodie Beatty I know everyone and their dog is blogging about what they are thankful for this month... but just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean I should avoid making a list of what I am thankful for.

I love peach season! With the exception of bees. I don't like them much. This year we picked around 250 pounds. That was a blessing. The peach orchards have had a bad year. The spring in the valley was too wet and most peach growers have nothing on their trees. I have come to like… Continue reading Peaches!
We have had a few fun summer adventures in the past couple of weeks. First, Hannah and I went on a road trip to Centrialia Washington to my cousin's Daughter's wedding.

Do you know how many fishies have swum through our house? But I cave… and children are happy. This time, however, I was determined to make the experience of owning… Continue reading Restocking Nemo
On of our summer adventures of last week was to visit Grandma and Grandpa Mabee in Bend. We have such a complicated schedule these days. All the kids are coming and going with so many activities that it's hard to get everyone in the car so that we can go "over the river and through… Continue reading Jack is a Very Good Dog
This week our summer adventure included bubbles. I've been putting it off because the weather has been unseasonably cool... and even rainy. We decided to use a few dry moments and make bubbles. AH! The wonder! Lillian loved making the BIG bubbles. Case just wanted more and more bubbles. I think they played for hours… Continue reading A Little Bubbly!!!!
