Forgot to include the list of things our family said they were thankful for this year in the Thanksgiving post, so here it is……. Kayla stuffed animals, my family, Buddy, my room, footie pj’s, Jesus, my clothes, Floppy Kitty, our chickens, my ice skates, my hair, our garden, my cousins, my church, rainforests, Vacation Bible… Read More Thankful For….
If only my heart and mind felt as peaceful and quaint as this photo looks. Truth is, this front porch always sets the scene for the coming and going of the Krum family and many others on a very consistent basis. So, here’s a few glimpses of what we’ve been up to…….. Robert has been… Read More Fall Frenzy
Whew! The birthday bash is now over, and I can take a moment to report to you that we celebrated Robert’s 40th in grand, and totally tubular 1980’s style! I had prayed about this party for months – asking that it would be fun, encouraging to Robert, and a recognition of his faithfulness in ministry… Read More Wayfarers on, Baby…..
We are having quite the birthday weekend here at the Krum house. Robert turned 40 on Thursday, and my dad turned 70 today! They are almost exactly 30 years apart to the day. We had a big breakfast, a steak dinner at home, and his favorite chocolate cake for dessert (recipe below!) to celebrate Robert’s… Read More Gluten Free Friday – Birthday Weekend
Just returned from a little getaway to Cape Cod – the “arm” of Massachusetts. I think this is our third annual fall trip there – a nice break after the craziness of the fall semester. We stay in the weekend home of friends of ours which has been such a blessing and generous gift. We… Read More Annual Cape Cod Trip
This past Saturday was the PERFECT day for apple picking! It was sunny, but cool, and the fall colors are starting to show everywhere. We went to two different orchards that are actually right next door to each other. Kayla found a very short and low hanging tree that doubled as a hideout. She gathered… Read More Apple Picking
We started school this week, but it was not an easy transition as I am still recuperating from the most crazy, full, over-the-top summer I think we have ever had. It was all good stuff – just absolutely non-stop. Our last big event was our annual trip to Ogunquit, Maine where we stay for free… Read More Highlights from the Summer (i.e Why I am tired)
The kids and I recently flew to Texas to hang out with my sister and her kids as they transition into a new home and life in Austin. We all LOVE Austin – what a diverse and happenin’ place – from being the birthplace of Whole Food and a bastion of hippie-ness, to rubbing elbows… Read More Transition Time in Texas
It’s actually been a crazy busy summer! (When is life not so full?) Last week Robert took Kory camping at Acadia in Maine. He arrived home on Thursday at 12 noon and I left about an hour later to meet my sister Melinda in New York City for a couple of days. She flew there… Read More A Crazy Busy Weekend
