The boys!

Ben and Sam joined us at the cabin, and we convinced them to try out the tube! Sam was such a good sport...and Ben, who did not want to try it at first...declared that the tube was..."AWESOME!"

Well done, boys! We really enjoyed our time with them last week!

Kat's Krew at the cabin

This is the cabin we stayed in last week. The girls loved climbing up into the loft with Grammy. Later in the week, my BIL and nephews joined us...and then took over the loft!

This area is very quiet and peaceful. You heard the loons calling quite a bit. Jeff and I would wander out at night and were amazed at how bright the stars were!

So we spent a week up in the Northwoods of Wisconsin,

hanging out in a beautiful cabin on Plum Lake!

Grammy rents this place every year, and the girls love it up there!

This is Grammy Pat and the girls cruising the lake!

We spent most of our time boating on the lake or hanging around the dock. The lake was clean, with a sandy bottom, full of crayfish, frogs and minnows. The kids spent a ton of time trying to catch them all with their nets!

Check out Queen B's Blog...what a great post!

This post has me thinking...please read this Blog! This defines the struggle I have encountered these last couple of years....feeling inadequate as wife, mother, daughter, and a friend. What do you consider to be a successful life? Here is a wonderful post about just that! Thank you...friend!
THE LAND OF CURLY HAIR: SUCCESS - MY ANSWERS

It has been awhile.

I'd like to make this thing a little more informative....so that I could actually share it with friends and family some day.


We have a new little man that is visitng with us for a bit. We have really enjoyed fostering again. Thanking our Lord that Jeff is willing to reach out to these sweet little people that need some care and love. He is adorable, and brings us so much joy!

The power of prayer!

My heart is lighter. I do not feel so alone. I am reminded that He does care for us, every little detail in our lives...things that seem so insignificant...He has helped me with these last few weeks....find a way out of the darkness in my heart!

Praising my dear heavenly Father, for helping me along these last few weeks. Helping me thru a very dreary winter..and although the sky is full of grey and clouds and wet...I am hopeful, yes so very hopeful for the coming sun and spring! Praising Him for sending prayer warriors my way, women full of wisdom, patience, and kindness, that have reached out....thank you, Father, for looking after me this way!
