The cold snows and the piercing winds all remind thee that He keeps His covenant with day and night, and tend to assure thee that He will also keep that glorious covenant which He has made with thee in the person of Christ Jesus. He who is true to His Word in the revolutions of the seasons of this poor sin-polluted world, will not prove unfaithful in His dealings with His own well-beloved Son.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #767676; font-size: 19px; font-style: italic; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Winter in the soul is by no means a comfortable season, and if it be upon thee just now it will be very painful to thee: but there is this comfort, namely, that <span style="border: 0px; font-style: normal; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">the Lord </span>makes it. He sends the sharp blasts of adversity to nip the buds of expectation: He scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes over the once verdant meadows of our joy: He casteth forth his ice like morsels freezing the streams of our delight. He does it all, He is the great Winter King, and rules in the realms of frost, and therefore thou canst not murmur. Losses, crosses, heaviness, sickness, poverty, and a thousand other ills, are of the Lord’s sending, and come to us with wise design. Frost kills noxious insects, and put a bound to raging diseases; they break up the clods, and sweeten the soil. O that such good results would always follow our winters of affliction!</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #767676; font-size: 19px; font-style: italic; margin: 0px 0px 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How we prize the fire just now! How pleasant is its cheerful glow! Let us in the same manner prize our Lord, who is the constant source of warmth and comfort in every time of trouble. Let us draw night to Him, and in Him find joy and peace in believing. Let us wrap ourselves in the warm garments of His promises, and go forth to labours which befit the season, for it were ill to be as the sluggard who will not plough by reason of the cold; for he shall beg in summer and have nothing.” </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<span style="font-family: inherit;">John Newton’s (1725-1807) words may be 200+ years old but they speak so beautifully and powerfully into our current situation. This is my prayer for myself and you my dear friends. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I wish we may learn from all our changes, to be sober and watchful, not to rest in grace received, in experience or comforts, but still to be pressing forward, and never think ourselves either safe or happy, but when we are beholding the glory of Christ by the light of faith in the glass of the Gospel, to view him as God manifest in the flesh, as all in all in himself, and all in all for us; this cheering, this strengthening, this makes hard things easy, and better things sweet. This includes all I can wish for my dear friends, that you may grow in grace, and in the knowledge of Jesus. To know him, is the shortest description of true grace; to know him better, is the surest mark of growth in grace; to know him perfectly, is eternal life. This is the prize of our high calling; the sum and substance of all we can desire or hope for is, to see him as he is, and to be like him: and to this honor and happiness he will surely bring all that love his name.”</span></div>

1. The sweet smell of honeysuckle. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These grow like a weed around our neighborhood and the smell is thick in the air when I go for a walk around our block. It literally stops me in my tracks and I breathe in as many breathes as I can. </div>

2. Emergency distance learning (EDL) has been a learning curve to say the least.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Things have not been all sugar and spice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There have been a lot of really hard days trying to figure out this new way of learning and learning how to learn with 6 people in a shared space. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Am I the only one whose home felt instantly smaller once quarantine kicked in?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There have also been so many sweet moments because of EDL. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the slower pace of our day and the freedom (and time!) to add in so many other shared learning opportunities. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we heard the schools were closing I ran to the library (which thankfully was still open) and checked out a bunch of read aloud books. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Caddie Woodlawn was the first one we started and it been the perfect book for our family in this season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the story of a big family that lives in the countryside and is full of adventure and moments that will make you laugh one minute and then want to cry the next. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have one chapter left and I'm sad for it to end. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Any suggestions on what we should read next?</div>

3. I didn't grow up singing hymns and I didn't know what I was missing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year I stumbled upon <a href="https://happyhymnody.wordpress.com/">Happy Hymnody</a> and it has been such a blessing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hymns are full of such rich and sweet theology. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have had so much fun learning a new hymn and the background behind it each month. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

4. <a href="https://www.melskitchencafe.com/chewy-pretzel-bites/">This pretzel recipe</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have baked a lot of things during quarantine and this is by far my favorite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's like having Wetzel's pretzel bites at home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heat up some Tostitos queso to dip them in and thank me later.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My pants are happy we ran out of rapid rise yeast because we may have been making them every day.</div>

5. I'm not a big online shopper but there is one online shop I love.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of my favorite clothes are from <a href="https://www.carlyjeanlosangeles.com/">Carly Jean Los Angeles</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have cute, affordable, good quality clothes that make me look way more put together than I really am. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They also introduced me to my favorite hat ever!</div>

7. The Puritans knew how to pray.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got a lot to learn and they have been great teachers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so thankful for the compilation of Puritan prayers in the "Valley of Vision" and "Piercing Heaven" that so often put eloquent words to the thoughts of my heart.</div>

9. We are living in a dark time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been so encouraged by David Platt's "Pray the Word" podcast this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few days ago he prayed for people who are contemplating suicide.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe someone who is reading this has been there before or is there right now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

10. The <a href="https://torchlighters.org/">Torchlighters</a> series is possibly my favorite thing on Netflix. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are pretty low quality films but I am pretty sure I shed a tear every time I watch one. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are true stories of God's grace and mercy as he uses faithful Christians to accomplish his good works.</div>

Aaron and I got to go to Alaska. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For 8 days! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know, we were freaking out too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was so weird and so awesome and so quiet with just us adults. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(We totally missed the kids like crazy, but you guys already know that)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started off the trip with a day and a half in Seattle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were super spoiled with hot, sunny weather and the best tour guide around (my cousin Dave and his wife Amy).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We loved Seattle. So many cool spots to see and eat at. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then we set sail for our week cruise to Alaska which was a trip Aaron earned through his work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We sailed on Princess and stopped in Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan and Victoria (Canada). </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alaska was amazing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Aaron and I have been all over the world and I can honestly say Alaska is like no where else I have ever been.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems so untouched and raw. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And green and fresh and beautiful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One of my favorite parts of the trip was sailing through Glacier Bay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The glaciers totally showed off for us while we were there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We saw and heard lots of "white thunder" when large chunks of ice break off the glacier and fall into the ocean. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ketchikan was another really cute and quaint town. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And our last stop was to Victoria which I loved!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It totally reminded me of Europe just a whole lot closer.</div>
I can't wait to go back and spend more time there in the future.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also got to see tons of wildlife. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots and lots of whales, bald eagles, seals, dolphins and even a grizzly bear (from far away...which I was thankful for). The only thing we missed were the orcas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all it was an amazing trip that we felt so blessed to go on, but by the end of the 8 days we were so ready to get home to our babies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They had so much fun with our friends and family while we were gone (a big, big hug to those people who entered into our crazy life while we were away and held down the fort) but they were ready for us to be home too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I got a fresh reminder how full and sweet life with the 6 of us is. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crazy to be sure, but absolutely blessed to the fullest.</div>

It's summer!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hallelujah!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't think I have ever anticipated a summer as much as this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love my kid's school but I seriously miss them when they are gone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh and the lunches. I hate packing lunches every day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And homework. Not a fan of that either.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But mostly I'm excited to have them all with me every day and to go on adventures together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of adventures.</div>

See the summer list. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It might be a little ambitious but I think we can do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So far our first week of summer has been awesome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been to the pool, beach or lake almost every day and all my kids are tanner than me.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know it's only just started and in a few months I'm sure I'll be ready to be back in the groove of school again but for now all I can think is, "SUMMER FOREVER!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Trying to capture peaceful moments like this and being intentional to notice and soak up the beauty that is around me. Sometimes it's right in front of my face and sometimes I have to search hard for it.</div>

We got a new car. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well if you can even call it that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It might better be labeled "beast" or "monster van" as my kids like to call it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you have been following me for a couple years you will know that we have been eyeing the Nissan NV for a <a href="http://www.lubirdbaby.com/2013/08/monster-van.html">long time</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is an awesome 12 passenger van. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes you hear me right, it can hold twelve people! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last week we finally traded in our RAM truck and our minivan and got this bad boy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You guys, I didn't even test drive it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am a really bad driver. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well mostly parker. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The thought of driving this thing freaked me out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the thought of parking this thing freaked me out even more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But after thinking about our options and trying out different things we realized that the best car solution for our family was for us to get an all electric car that my hubby would drive to work (he got the Nissan Leaf a couple months ago) and for us to get the NV as our family car. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And once I knew that this is what we should do I didn't care how hard it would be for me to get used to I was determined to make it work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And praise Jesus I LOVE it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
love. love. love. it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish we would have gotten it months ago. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is super easy to drive (even for me which is saying a lot). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is super comfy and spacious. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We actually have room to take other people places with us and we have room for all of our stuff (on road trips, etc.). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been parking in easy parking spots (i.e. back of parking lots, next to handicap spots) because I'm still getting used to parking it but I'm getting better and better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok, ready for a little tour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the car with all 12 seats in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are two rows of 3 and the back row holds 4. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crazy, right?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHHQ5647IHtyCD-MNlWwZaIuh_nRS9Q9HHGI0zcfHnm8BGw2_hIZ56WXc2mj8qarFmTB6-0f4kGeLKIHhLOl-qT3rcARvKxzaC9VrnMBp75BygqoDubKlattLydmF_CUSKFzOQt5aJxws/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHHQ5647IHtyCD-MNlWwZaIuh_nRS9Q9HHGI0zcfHnm8BGw2_hIZ56WXc2mj8qarFmTB6-0f4kGeLKIHhLOl-qT3rcARvKxzaC9VrnMBp75BygqoDubKlattLydmF_CUSKFzOQt5aJxws/s1600/4.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since the trunk is pretty small with all 12 seats in and we rarely will need to take 12 people, we switched it up a bit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We took all 4 seats in the back out and moved the two rows of 3 further apart so that everyone has a ton of leg room (our kids can almost stretch out their whole legs and not touch the seat in front of them). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This also gave us a TON of room in the trunk (pic below). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We put the girls in the front row, and the boys in the back row. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's the trunk. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Plenty of room for our stroller, box filled with sweatshirts, extra clothes for the kids in case of an accident, Ergo, diapers, etc., a quilt and a box with jumper cables/car stuff. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The doors also detach and swing all the way open (around the sides of the car).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Plus lots of extra room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The front is super roomy too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This giant center console is one of my favorite parts. It can hold files, etc. but I organized all of our stuff into little tubs and have them stacked in there. There are also a ton of cup holders, seat warmers, and other goodies like 120V outlets to charge your laptop and more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the other huge reasons we got the NV was that it can tow a lot of weight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have a tent trailer that we take on camping trips multiple times a year and needed something to tow it and more (one day we would love to get a bigger trailer).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are so thankful to have found a car that works well for us and that we love! Oh and we saved hundreds of dollars a month by consolidating to one vehicle.</div>

When Mackenzie was little we started <a href="http://www.lubirdbaby.com/2012/01/mommy-daughter-date.html">dating our kids</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every few weeks (sometimes more, sometimes less) Aaron or I take one of the kids out on a Mommy or Daddy date. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just us and one kid. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one. kid. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's so good to be able to have them all to myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To hear everything they have to say, to go slow (or fast...oh the things you can do with only one kid), to soak them all up and enjoy every last bit of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This year Wesley and I have been spoiled because every Thursday we have 2 whole hours <span style="font-size: large;">all by ourselves</span> while Mackenzie is still in school and my mom has the littles at her Bible Study.</div>

It has been so much fun to hang out with my biggest little man every week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every Thursday he runs out of his class with a giddy smile to ask what I have planned for the day.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The one thing I have learned is that it does not matter what we do, he thinks it is the best day ever because we are together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just the two of us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's one of my favorite parts of the week too. </div>

Hey strangers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been meaning to get back here for a long time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It just seemed like so much has happened and I didn't have the energy to write a looooong boring recap post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I'm just going to stick with a cliffs notes version.</div>

Yosemite is our family's spot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I would go as far as saying that it is my favorite place in the world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's just something so magical about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The trees, the stone, the animals, the streams and fresh mountain air. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's definitely God's territory.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we decided to visit Big Sur before we headed to Yosemite. </div>

Hey guys! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess I needed a little blogging sabbatical because I sure took a long one.<br />
Whoops! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like I should give you a proper recap of our summer with pictures and lots of details but I might need another sabbatical by the time I was done. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here's the quick recap. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was full of a whole lot of fun and a whole lot of crazy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did swim team, park days, lots of vacations (June Lake, Sedona, The Grand Canyon, Big Sur, Yosemite) and lots of little things in between. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact we almost checked off our entire summer fun list.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And now the kids are back in school! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which has posed a whole new kind of crazy (2 days a week I have 5 drop off/pick ups)!.<br />

My kids are super clumsy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Someone is always hurt so our boo boo bags get used frequently. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had it on my to do list to trash the old ones and make new ones (i reused the combination of rice and wheat berries inside).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love checking projects off my to do list. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm always getting lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully me and the maps app on my iPhone are BFFs so I seem like I know what I'm doing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
most of the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the other day I got really, really lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While. I. was. out. on. my. morning. run.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like 2 miles in the wrong direction lost.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It takes a very special person to do that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By the time I realized that I was really lost and sought help from my BFF to get home it said I was 10 minutes away by car and 36 minutes away by walking. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I called Aaron and asked him/told him to come pick me up (because I had already been running for over 30 minutes).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After he laughed at me he told me there was no way he could come get me because the kids were still sleeping and he had to get ready to leave for work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I ran home. Fast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because I had to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I did it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
People, I ran 5 miles!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On week 8 of the couch to 5k program when I was supposed to run for 28 minutes (which is around 3 miles). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I was so proud of myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I write this post to lighten the mood (feel free to laugh at me because it's funny and pathetic. Seriously who gets <span style="font-size: large;">that</span> lost <span style="font-size: large;">that</span> close to their home) and to encourage you that you might be able to do things that you would never imagined possible if you just try. Or get lost and are forced to. Whatever works.</div>

Our campground was pretty cool. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was super private which was nice and quiet but it was also super far from the bathrooms (which we quickly learned is not so convenient when you have 3 little kids who use the bathroom every 5 minutes...lesson learned) </div>

One of my favorite parts of camping is hanging out around the campfire. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This trip the kids were super into Old Maid. </div>
