In the meantime, here are some of our favorites from this (very uneventful) week: Homeschool is plugging along as we all find our rhythms. Each of our kiddos has a … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 22 Sept. 2023

I’m writing this from my camp chair while I listen to Allen play his ukulele and the kids play in the playground across from our campsite. This evening, others from our church, Maison Coram Deo, are joining us to camp through the weekend! The sun is going in and out from behind clouds, there’s an … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 15 Sept. 2023

We are home!! We landed back in Quebec mid-morning on Wednesday, and have slowly been unpacking and resettling. It feels so good to be back here - we are all thankful! But let me back up and share some of our other favorites from the week. Last Friday, we met dear friends in Anchorage for … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 8 September 2023

How is it already September?! We have just a few days left in Alaska, but here are some favorites from this week. Last Saturday, we hosted about 40 friends for brunch and shared about life in Quebec. Over croissants and coffee, we talked about the culture, our church family, and our lives. It was neat … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 1 September 2023

We had such a fun week! We kicked it off north of Wasilla, where my friend Jade (whom I have known since middle school!) was getting married! She had asked me to be a bridesmaid, so we were so excited to be able to come and celebrate with her and Jacob. The weekend included lots … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 25 August 2023

Full disclosure: before arriving here, we didn’t think about how much life we’d live in Alaska. We didn’t consider grocery shopping, laundry, kids getting holes in their pants, etc. But it’s happening. Life keeps happening. For example, this week, Clara lost a tooth! She stuck it under her pillow and for the first time ever, … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 18 August 2023

This week, we... …moved into our home-away-from-home (thanks, Scott and Marianne!) and could not get over the view from the back patio. … visited the Iditarod Headquarters with friends (and petted cute puppies)! … bought new, much needed raincoats (thanks, Mom and Dad!). … ate a fried halibut dinner with friends. … and went horseback … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 11 August 2023

We are in Alaska! We landed on the first and after a long debacle with rental cars, ended up borrowing a van and settling in. We spent our first few days reconnecting with friends over shared meals, play dates, and snuggles. The next five weeks will be busy, but we’re excited to find pockets of … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 4 August 2023

Hey friends! We've been quiet this week... We returned home from Maryland last Friday evening, unpacked and did laundry immediately, offered breakfast and coffee to our neighbors Saturday morning, hosted worship service Sunday morning, and have been packing for Alaska (we leave next Tuesday!) while trying to clean the house, engage with our kids, and, … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 28 July 2023

Last week, between camping in severe rainstorms and preparing to go to the US for a conference (oh, and spending the night in the ER with one of our kiddos, who had an infection), we just could NOT get a Friday Favorites post up! Some weeks are just like that, I reckon. Here are some … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 21 July 2023
