new cousin!

What can I say? She's lovely, charming, and sweet, loves Jesus, art, and...Tristan. Welcome to the family Megan! I am also quite excited for the road trip up to Canada for the wedding...

of late...

Lately I've come to realize how much fellowship goes on around food! It is such a unifier. I've also come to realize how refining and exhilarating the people in my life are. Thank you for that, dear ones. Also...that I love my house, my piano under the bottle ladled window pane, the cozy inviting couches, the fire pit in the backyard, the high paned windows that frame rainy weather perfectly, and my hole in the wall bed room. And lastly, I can't get enough of Thompson, Owen, and Calvin when they come over to "Andarina's" house to spend a couple hours in my "Narnian" back yard. That's all for now...

the best time of day.

My favorite time of day is the turning point from day to evening, when the sun is dappling through the windows in warm golden tones...
