Moving always involves finding new places for your belongings, settling into new routines, finding a new coffee stand, and learning how to parent in a new setting. For us, it also involves continuing prefield development.
Everyday, there’s something new to uncover. So we’d like to give a sneak peek of what those things were this week!
Friday:
Friday, we drove into town to do some shopping. Finding a new grocery store (and then where everything is in the store is a big feat… especially with little kids in tow). Clara had a minor accident that included a good bump on her head, but she has since healed nicely.
Saturday:
Saturday, Ruth spent some time wearing Anna and Elsa pigtails, eating a snack, and working on her letters. Big favorite!
Sunday:
Thanks to new friends, the kids got to ride a horse on Sunday. They were so excited and would have ridden all day, if we’d let them!
Monday:
Full disclosure: we have ZERO pictures from Monday and not a clue what we actually did, besides water cows, make meals, and clean up. So here’s a cute photo of my dad, my son, and some cows. Let’s pretend it was on Monday.
Tuesday:
Rainbows, the Batts men, and running through open fields in rain boots? Yes please.
Wednesday:
Nothing says, “What a successful day!” like a new woodshed being filled with split firewood.
Thursday:
While Allen and my dad kept the kids busy at the ranch, mom and I headed west to the Oregon coast for a belated birthday celebration. Being by the ocean is always so calming. I’m thankful the guys were willing to keep the kids so we could get away for some mom/daughter time.
