Harrowing/Heartwarming Parent Moment of the Week

The Harrowing/Heartwarming Parent Moment of the Week

November 18, 2016 Kristen

Our family took a quick autumn walk out to the pond on Saturday and yes…Sweet Boy#2 is wearing his bathrobe. He zipped out of the house before I saw him and The Hunky Hubby apparently didn’t think it worth mentioning.

Sweet Boy#3 wore his swimsuit and packed a towel so that he could take a quick dip. Yes, it is November, but these are mountain boys, remember.

A boy and his dog running through the meadow.

Sweet Boy#2 wading into the water and attempting to keep his bathrobe free of pond muck at the same time.

Princess Leia thinks that perhaps November is a bit cold for bathrobes and swimming.

Gotta love those boys, especially that scruffy-looking one in his 40s.

Time to head home. What a beautiful day!

I promise you a crazed animal, a concussion, and a kiss in every single book...you're welcome!

May the Years Between Us Fall Away as we Worship December 16, 2023
However, standing beside his wife, was an older gentleman. He had the look of a lifelong worker. Perhaps a truck driver, mechanic, or one of the many retired orchardists who fill our rural community. Simple clothes, shirt untucked, Gnarled hands raised to heaven as he listened to the clear voices of the girls worshiping on […]

Running From God! September 16, 2023
Among this raucous splash of humanity were also children who had no faith background at all.
