Is this thing on? *tap tap

 Well this is foreign, yet familiar in the same way going back to visit a house you moved away from might be. The rooms maintain their proportions, but the walls and furniture are a jarring reminder that you are no longer at home.

Maybe I'm feeling sentimental, or a touch lonesome for...something. My people. It seems like these feelings come along like clockwork every winter when the pace slows down enough to really feel that you all aren't in the place that my heart feels you should be: here with me, or just down the road, or at worship where we can raise our voices together in praise. I miss us, and the years don't seem to understand that their job is to numb that.

I love the way the elm trees frame our home

Josh and Joshy out choring

We've had gorgeous frosty and foggy weather lately - my favorite!

Josh put a compost pile out in front of the chicken coop. It keeps the hens busy scratching, and they like the warmth of it so much that they're reluctant to head into their house at night.

If I had SEVEN beautiful kids,...

...I would forget about the technical aspects of photography and just be thankful for enough room to back up to get them all into one frame! And, they're laughing to boot...expect for Knox, of course, who has more appreciation for lunch than sibling photos.

What a treasure this little guy is to all of us! I never run out of willing baby-holders. I didn't think I would get to do a "session" with him; it's been too overcast and I've been rather wiped out.

Tie-breaker

Last night we were privileged to meet our precious son Knox Cameron. He weighed in at 7lbs10oz. I can't recall his length, but as he's not a fish, what does it matter? ;)

Nothing like a screaming toddler in your ear.

Yes, I am busy.

No, we're not in competition with the Duggars.

Yes, this baby is a welcome addition to our family. We love children!

Yes, I'm a Christian (Reformed Presbyterian), homeschooling, bus-driving nut. I also bake with wheat from time to time. Shhh!

My husband and I consider our kids to be just what they are: priceless gifts and treasures. Each of their lives is worth more to us than all of the material "necessities" we could afford without "another mouth to feed".

No, we don't know if we're having another son or daughter. Most of the kids think it's a girl.

Yes, I am busy. Did I say that already? I have the attention span of an - oh shoot. What was I saying?

And then we tried to get a family photo. Five minutes. Low light. Cold children. Good enough.
