ABOUTIt seems I follow a cycle with blogging – I get a really good routine down and blog several times a week for months, and then I suddenly quit for months or years at a time.
Well – I’m back! For now, at least. Maybe I can keep this up without any breaks.
So from July until January … a lot has happened! I’ll try to recap the months by hitting the high spots.
JULY 2024:
We celebrated Titus’s 12th birthday.
AUGUST 2024
Eli went to Nicaragua to visit his wife. Her visa has still not been approved! We’re doing all we can, but it can take awhile.
I got to spend some time with my sister, Ashlie.
Mercie, Silas, and Titus started back to school! Mercie is a junior, Silas is in 8th grade, and Titus is in 6th grade again. We decided to hold him back a year for baseball since he was one of the youngest and smallest in his grade.
Zoey had her first ambulance ride. It was mine, too. She got bit by a snake in our front yard! Her blood was having some clotting issues, so they sent us by ambulance to the bigger hospital about an hour away. Thank the Lord, He healed her, and she got to go home quickly.
OCTOBER 2024
Mercie with her brothers at their last football game of the season.
Our church had our Fall Carnival.
My mom and I took the little ones to the zoo.
Our grandson, Daniel, turned 4 with a Monster Jam party.
We had Thanksgiving at our house with Mikaela and the kids and my mother-in-law and her husband.
Eli went back to Nicaragua again over his break.
More cousin time! These two have always been close.
Silas killed a cull buck.
Titus killed a little eight-point.
We had our church youth group Christmas party at our house. We played the Saran Wrap ball game.
We took the Children in Action kids and youth Christmas caroling to the nursing homes. They also played their handbells.
We went to the Christmas festival and parade in town.
Zeke and Zoey in their Christmas pajamas.
We went to the library and saw Santa!
We took family pictures.
So that’s how our year ended! How was your 2024?
