Keeper of the Hearth


Everyday for the past week, I have told Jessica I would post something, but each day passes without any excitement. Well, today wasn't looking exactly like  a "Ski Utah" advertisement either .... so here is a little view from inside.


Andy started the day "a little under the weather" but still looking very GQ as he ate breakfast in bed wrapped in this year's hottest pink blanket!


I outdid myself by making homemade cookies in anticipation of a storm...which hasn't looked too threatening.

Jake went to the orthodontist and is smiling because it is a short day!

The amaryillis are brightening my afternoon!

Mary Poppins always checks the blogs between school and work.


Luke is under house arrest and is a bit melancholy over the whole situation--melancholy beats the alternative.


These are for those who may have missed my FaceBook post. Five Bucks all in row--obviously our little bit of paradise is a safe haven for wildlife....if they eat my tulip bulbs though, it will be war!!

THANK YOU! So good to see pics from the fam. Ohhh. I am missing everyone. I just want to ride my bike over to the house and take James swimming while we chat with everyone. And I would so love to get in on those homemade cookies. How about y'all move to Texas ASAP.
Sorry to hear Andy is sick:( I personally had a "healthy day" today and downed lots of chicken noodle soup. Are those braces on Jake? So exciting. Just remember when it hurts "beauty is pain" bro.
I can't believe how big those bucks are. Crazy! I haven't see any dear in our neck of the woods.
I love Katelyn's eye makeup! SO pretty. XOXO feel free to spontaneously come and see me, before we move to another country and it isn't so easy (not an announcement, just sayin)

What a mom--cookies, breakfast in bed. It looks like things continue to be exciting at the Down house.

Keeper of the Hearth is good. The world needs people like you to keep the dogs alive, the braces' pain under control, and the blankets wrapped around them. Good luck with the rest of January!
