But the real icing on the cake is the time we spend together.

We are finding that the longer we are here, the more unbinding we do.

Days like today make us grateful for where we live and the opportunity to embrace our community.

We absolutely love spending quality one-on-one time with our kids and are so grateful we embraced experiences as gifts a number of years ago!

And although this year has been one for the books, we are grateful for nights like last night.

...abandoning the one-size-fits-all approach and ensuring that each one of our children is given what they specifically need.

The truth is, the unbinding we did a few years ago was just the precursor to prepare us to dig deeper and find the next layer below that was in need of unbinding.

Mother's Day, Father’s Day, a random Tuesday, it doesn’t matter, I think this is what parenting and family is all about—taking care of each other however and whenever.

What we learned is that we all really do know what it is we want in life, but we get scared, we get comfortable, we even get lost. But we know now that if we take the time and ask the right questions, the right answers will rise up to the surface every single time.

We will always treasure the work we did with a Life Coach that allowed us to find our vision, say it out loud, and then take the steps to make it happen.

It’s kinda funny how God just makes these things happen. And it’s kinda funny when you know in the deepest part of your heart what you’re being called to do.

And we are grateful for both—who we were and who we have become.

We love being this example to them as much as we love what dating has done for our marriage.

Now, I certainly wouldn’t call me a farmer. But I guess you can call me a dreamer!

We both wanted something different. We both longed to be the kids who fell in love so many years ago.

What we learned is that when we can be open and honest, whatever we are going through seems to be not so bad.

I believe it is not about looking for the good in things, but seeing things as good.

It’s about Christmas being a gift to each of us and then sharing that gift with others.

As I watch the leaves slowly change color, I am reminded of how important change can be.
