This was always one of my favorite memories with my kids… and I have a picture of the two of them when they were toddlers sitting next to each other on giant pumpkins! Your pictures are really, really cute!
yes, bethany! we look forward to pumpkin patches too. something about it is so sweet and the kids love all the color and running around. you have to post the picture of caroline and nathaniel!
I love reading about your beautiful little family and I adore your decorating style. Strange question but pretty please can you tell me where you got those lovely red sandals – I would like to hunt them across the ocean for my 5 year old daughter.
Hello Australia! 😉 Thank you so much. You are so sweet. True’s sandals are called Saltwater Sandals and you would love them! They comes in lots of colors and also for adults. They are very, very comfortable. Here are some links:
Hello from Australia again thanks so much for the Saltwater Sandal details – I think I am going to have to order them in red and yellow. True’s room looks great and it is wonderful to read that you were inspired by Inside Out magazine – it’s a great mag. Have a lovely weekend.

We got around to making some fun accessories together and here is what we came up with. It is inspired by the starlette crown by giant dwarf. Okay, it was really more like them picking out the colors and me sewing it together, then them modeling it for the camera. They love it and kept it on all day long.
I just used some silver leather I had on hand, cut out stars, backed with some pink felt, and put on with some elastic for True's and a clip sewn in for Brave's. Not quite as cool as the real deal, but good enough.
Oh how I love my little starlettes so much, but I must admit that they drive me crazy sometimes! That's normal, right? Lately, I have been feeling I am too uptight with them and I just need to let loose and let them be kids. I really ought to take a chill pill. Anyone know of someone who could prescribe those for me?!! I get so caught up in the busyness of things, I don't do enough hugging, loving, and teaching. I know it seems all fine and dandy here most times, but um... behind the scenes there is yelling, tantrum throwing, time-out fighting, tears streaming from all of us!
Ben and I are also talking about a fourth... just talking people, just talking (well, you know what I mean). I want one, but don't know if I could handle it, if we could handle it. All my kids are so, so close in age. I feel all my hair would fall out if I had a fourth. At the same time, I know children are such a blessing from God and though there would be more fighting and frustrations, there is also a lot more joy and grace. Can't forget about God's grace. Any tips from anyone who has 4 or more? How is it to make that jump from 3 to 4? If we were done, would we look back one day and wish we just went for the fourth?
And... I can't forget my little Soul. She is our baby! I can't imagine her not being the baby. Don't mind the bit of my thinking out loud. It's all in God's hands anyways, so we will see.
That first picture could probably win a contest. Gorgeous.
