Our Family Weekend

I would like to start by pointing out that this is my 300th post! Ok, moving on....we had a wonderful weekend with Eric's family. Eli had been visiting since Wednesday, so you can imagine how excited we were to see him Friday night!

Since it was a beautiful fall weekend, we took advantage and went hiking in Illinois at a place called Garden of the Gods, but first we had a yummy lunch at Just A Burger which is an amazing hometown burger joint in Marion.

Here are me and Eli with my mother-in-law when we first started the trail.

Me and hubby atop a bluff!

Breathtaking views!

The whole time we were walking on rocky bluffs, and Eli kept wanting to throw the rocks (aka bolders) haha! I did let him through a few pebbles over to keep him happy!

Here is grandad and his boys!

This picture is worth a thousand words!

Nan also got to pose with her boys before we left!

I think Eli's favorite part of the whole day was riding the ferry. He was asleep and missed it going to IL, but coming home he was enthralled. Just look at this face!

Love. This. Boy! We spent the rest of the afternoon riding four-wheelers, playing outside, and eating some amazing food.

This is a view of Eric's family farm. Isn't he so blessed to have grown up with this landscape? I feel blessed just having spent the weekend there.

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone! I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal! Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three! Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work. Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later. Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week. Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list. To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day. Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler. Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure. They slowly but surely warmed up to it. Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit. She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her. Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed. Thank goodness our y...

The Best Is Yet To Be

My two grandmothers are 87 and 97 years old this year, which is pretty amazing if you think about it. They've lived through the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, President Kennedy's assassination, the race to space, the rise and fall of communism, the advancement of the information era, the attacks of 9/11, Covid, and dozen other "once in a lifetime" events. They remember when indoor plumbing was a luxury and yet know what social media is. They're amazing. I can't wrap my mind around the magnitude of what they have witnessed. They lived in real time what we can only read about in history books. It's incredible if you let it sink in. Maybe that's why they're different...not just them, but their entire generation. They're not like us. They don't give up when things are tough. They don't complain about hardships or the unfairness of life. They don't fold under pressure or cower when they face uncertainty. They speak...
