my lil peeps.


Sunday I watched my lil chillins, Thompson, Owen, and Calvin. I was feeling a touch of a sore throat and told Taylore it would be a lay low kind of day, and it very well was. As it trickled dreary hues of colors outside, Thompson and I cuddled in her bed with a movie. The boys crept in after their naps, and I soon found myself snuggled in with little sweaty, soft, post-napping munchins on my lap and all about me. I love that groggy, calm, reserved state children are in when they just wake up (if they're not whiny). After a day of hot chocolate in sippy cups, random bows placed in my hair by Thompson, and a quick glorious romp outside on the trampoline in the rain, I brushed their hair, scrubbed their lil faces, found their shoes, cleaned off their clothes, and handed them over to Grammy for a night of performing on stage at their evening Christmas service. Thank you, dearies, for making me feel better.

folkie love.


Tuesday night was the unveiling of Biola's first folk ensemble. Delicious, enriching, warm...all good words.

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...
