Have you read Jesus’ to do list? Surely I have before, but I didn’t consider it to be a “to do” list until this weekend when I came across this verse again.

I’ve struggled with what to tell you this week. So I took some time to look back at where I was last October in our Tuesday Breakfast Notes. And it turns out, I needed the same reminder this year, too!

When you’re with a new baby, chances are, they’re hungry. Or tired, or need their diaper changed, or need burped. But hungry is definitely at the top of the list.

The area around us has been looking a little different over the last few weeks. I take Sylvia to school in the morning, surrounded by fields full of corn and soybeans. Going to pick her up, I find fields have been completely harvested in the hours since.

Stephen loves me. Especially when I sign us up for stuff…

It’s silly to think of little, 2 year old Sylvia being the one to take charge. But I’m pretty sure she knew where she was taking us. I’m also pretty sure we weren’t following her recommendations. It didn’t matter how loudly she was yelling or singing (97% chance it was singing).

I’ve spent the end of summer feeling like I’m surely not old enough to be doing the things I find myself doing. I mean, how old were you when you really started believing you were an adult? Was there a magic age?

I have always enjoyed my position as “bus driver” for the girls. One of the big changes that came with middle school this year was putting the big girls on the actual school bus. So far, they love it. I’m the one having the hard time adjusting to the 5 am wake up calls!

I remember when I turned 11. It was fine to be 11, but I had the dream of being 16. I would basically be a grown up, and I would be able to drive a car! What better thing could there be in life?

Dear Adalyn, Dena and Lilly,
Stephen and I constantly pray for the people who walk in and out of our girls’ lives. And God has been kind enough to give us the right people at the right time. You are an answer to this never ending prayer that we pray.

Tuesday morning, and we're halfway through the county fair already.
I love the fair! I also do not love the fair. It's one of those ongoing, internal struggles.
I love seeing my kids try new and hard things! But that also means lots of opportunities for disappointment. It's life lessons I want my girls to learn, but the conversations as follow up are exhausting.

Remember when hospitality, as an industry, was pretty well shut down a few years ago? The hospitality industry relies on people being together!
“Together” was no longer an option as eating out, grocery shopping, going to church and playing in the park came largely to a halt. It was difficult to connect with our communities.

I am so grateful for my time in Charlotte. I am still feeling the overwhelm in the attempt to digest all I heard. I hope you don’t mind, but today I’m going to share a few of the big takeaways in the hopes they mean something to you, too…

We were sitting at the dining room table at a friend’s house Sunday evening when Sylvia went tricycling by. I said “well that’s sure gonna be a breakfast note!” And so here we are, but not with the one I had started…

I love being at home! It’s usually my first choice over being anywhere else. But sometimes, it makes me downright exasperated. Because home is also where I’m consistently reminded of the incompleteness…

Listen… kids are funny. And last week was one of those times:
We were in the car, headed to a birthday party, and singing together as only the Lord could love!…

Lately I’ve been in the mood for cinnamon applesauce. We had the applesauce pouches for the girls' lunches, and naturally the girls weren't interested. Which means they've been all mine…

I woke up with great intentions for today!
But some days (who am I kidding, most days) don’t go the way I plan…

Over the last 2 weeks, Stephen and I have found ourselves, more than ever before, talking to our girls about trying to listen for God. About praying, and not just the prayers where we do the talking…

It was last Friday, late afternoon, as I stood watching the dog while he hunted for just the right spot in the yard to relieve himself. I hoped he wasn’t thirsty; we didn’t have any water to give him…
