Happy Friday! We’re still sort of inching toward summer here in New England, and so it’s only about 65 degrees this morning, but it’s sunny, and that makes ALL the difference. Robert is off to physical therapy for his back which has been in constant and fairly severe pain since December. (Pray for his healing… Read More Gluten Free/Paleo Friday ~ Almond Butter Bars (& Summer Stuff)
One of the books was free. It was a give-away at a pastor’s conference that Robert attended. I think it was the year he came home with such a big stack of free, but really great books, he wondered if he would have to pay extra for his return luggage due to one more bag… Read More Books in Tandem, Grace in Abundance
Kayla and I had been looking forward to some time together after being apart almost two whole weeks ~ I was in Texas and then she was in the Dominican Republic. So, last Tuesday we ventured downtown, got frozen yogurt, and then checked out some books at the library. There are two frozen yogurt shops… Read More Yogurt and Out
It seems like we have been scattered near and far this year, but today and for the rest of the summer everyone is at home, and it feels good. It’s not that I minded “the scattering.” Everyone in the Krum family had wonderful and necessary experiences off on their own, but it’s nice to be… Read More Everyone’s Home
Two months. In seven years, I don’t think I’ve gone two months without writing here on my blog. And there’s lots to tell ~ which is part of why I haven’t written. Too much activity to sit for a while and put the words down. Lots of urgent things taking first place over the important… Read More Matthew’s Account: My Underlines
As I write this, I’m imagining a delirious Cooper getting off an airplane after nearly 24 hours of total travel time ~ and all without an iPod, which is definitely some sort of world record. I woke up this morning praying that he would be energized and strengthened, not missing any detail of the incredible… Read More Growing and GOING: Right Before My Eyes
Today is a snow day for our entire state. Even the local college campuses are not having classes or meetings. We’ve gotten over 6 inches so far, and it is still coming down in abundance. Even though a snow day for a homeschooler is not quite as exciting, it still feels different and special. Here… Read More Hello, Snow Days. (And School Days, Sadly.)
This could also be known as “the post with 32 pictures,” but it seems the best way to recount many of the things that have been happening around here since October. If you haven’t noticed, I just love to archive everything, so this post is more for me than you! (But, OH the things that… Read More From California To Christmas Like Crazy…and More Crazy
Twas the night before my birthday, and all through my abode Lots of teenagers stirred, friends new and old The dishes were washed, dried, returned to their places In hopes that tomorrow would be easy, slow-paced The electric blanket turned on, the bathwater running A magazine and epsom salts awaited for soaking Kayla in her… Read More Twas The Night Before My Birthday…
Christmas can kinda make you (or just me) crazy, it seems. Here’s evidence… On Wednesday, I was frantically running around town doing errands and frantically running around the house trying to clean it and make Kory’s bed for his arrival home from his first semester at Baylor. Somehow I got it in my head that… Read More Gluten Free/Paleo Friday ~ Christmas Prep & “Coffee” & Homecomings
