Better Living Room Pics

From the dining room entry looking toward what will be the office/ playroom part of the living room

Matt's going to be building a little wall around the chimney some day soon. And I will get the closet doors painted and some pics on the walls...

I was standing in the hall way to take this pic.

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake.

Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school? I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble. But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.

So for my story to write let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer. Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story. But not this time. Jeanie's been having focal seizures. We don't know when they started. All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
