Open House, Open Heart...

Strawberries are ready to be picked here in NY. Today we headed to G and S orchards to pick strawberries with our friends Chelsea and her daughter Nova. It was hot but all the kids had fun.  After we came home and I worked on the garden and then we grilled for dinner. Loving the long warm summer days but so ready for my bed tonight!  My best attempt Of a photo of all the kids. Messy, can’t get everyone to smile or look the right direction, but we tried! 

We decided to go to the beach tonight on a whim. It got to 95 degrees here so we thought it’d be a perfect day to head to the lake to cool down.  All 4 kids loved the water. We were shocked by Havilahs Adventurous spirit. She would waddle as quickly as possible into the water and attempt to dive in. She was a handful to keep above water. 😂  We finished the night with roasting hotdogs over a fire and marshmallows to top it off. No kid complained.  Cheers,  Briana 

My sister Taylor came to visit on a whim with her family. It was a fun weekend with lots of kids and lots of chaos. 😜  Missing them already. 💕

It’s been a crazy few months. I’m sure you can all relate. The chaos keeps coming but sure enough, life doesnt pause for chaos. So we all keep living and grounding ourselves in the Lord.  Hugs, Briana 

Our sweet girl turned one April 11th. Her birth seems like just a few months ago. I can’t believe it’s been a year. Here are a few pics from right after her birth and when she was small. 💕 She’s grown so fast. Right now she loves to practice walking, dance to music with Dad, be outside and going on hikes. She loves to sit in the LEGO bin, play with her brothers and eat food.  She’s just starting to walk and it’s so much fun to watch her grow! Her personality is big and bold but tender at the same time. I love that about her. 💕 Happy Birthday, Havilah Ruth. We love you so much. Caleb took some photos of her on her birthday that I’ll hopefully share here soon.  Be well,  Briana
