Ditch Days

| rjungle

We have ten children. I know that seems like a lot, and it is. It’s a lot of mouths to feed. A lot of clothes to wash. A lot of homework every weekday. A lot of needs to fill.

But.

It’s a lot of hugs. It’s a lot of personality. It’s a lot (like, a LOT a lot) of love. It’s a lot of hard work, too.

So sometimes, when some of the children go with their other parent and some choose to stay home, we have a ditch day up in the mountains to reconnect with ourselves and enjoy this world we have been given.

The water was cold, the breeze was cool, and it was sooooo good for my soul.

Some Big News (because it’s go big or go home around here!)

You *might* want to turn the sound down….there is a lot of screaming in this video. 🤣

 

Spoiler Alert!

We are expecting a baby in March.

It is a girl.

Everyone but Haley is shocked, and every single human is super duper excited!

I have been puking my guts up with this baby, so I should have known someone different was growing in my belly, but it seems as though the sickness is mellowing out a bit (I had two days in a row that I didn’t throw up this week), and potatoes, hash browns, French fries, and sonic tater-tots seem to stay down juuuuuust fine. Also, I’ve been eating carrots. (I haaaaaaate carrots!!)

Wow, the things we mommas do for our babies. 😉
