Peach Orchard waterpark






A beautiful morning with the Walker clan in Summerland...

name change?

The other day at breakfast, Simeon introduced himself to all of us as Daniel. We have been reading about Daniel and the Lions, so thinking this was part of the story for him, taking on the role of the brave boy. Later that day, we were at a waterpark and I overheard him talking to any kid who would venture near him saying, "Hi, my name's Daniel!" Ever since, whenever Owen or I call him Sim he corrects us: he is now Daniel...

our kids...


Simeon 3 yrs, Olivia 5 mos, Judah 18 mos

On growing up...

Today the kids and I were watching the "Simmy show", when Simeon was a baby, in honor of his birthday. In one scene, Owen was carrying baby Sim on his shoulders. Sim turned to me and said, " Mommy, can I grow little again?" Somedays that's what I wish for too.

Whenever I ask Simeon how old he is now, he joyfully says, "I'm free!"
Oh yes, my boy, you certainly are!

1,2...3!


Tomorrow our Simeon turns three years old, and we had a party for him yesterday with fam and friends. This one feels like a significant birthday for him, a gateway from being a toddler to becoming a little boy. Enjoy the adventure, bubs, we love you!

2 beautiful things...

Olivia at 4 months, our rollie pollie girlie, and

A daisy!

In the twinkling of an eye, I turned from painting with the kids to answer the phone, and Judah became Ronald Jr.
