I was up at the top of the hill watching him walk further and further into the sunset. It is really painful to love them. He is a freshman this year. He has been a joy to John and I his entire life. What a gift he is to our family.

An evening adventure at Pioneers Park
Zac Brown's song "Chicken Fried" comes to mind when I look through these pictures. I think my favorite evenings always happen organically with our kids. "Hey, let's take the kids to Pioneers Park to tromp around and pick up fried chicken at Lee's Chicken on the way out." "Yes, let's do it." They always turn out wonderful 100 percent of the time. The weather was gorgeous and we truly just tromped around the grounds.
Damaris is at the age where she is constantly bringing me flowers all the time. It must be a passage that children must go through because they all have done it. Sometimes, my counter is covered with little glass jars with all her flowers from the day.
One of Dominic's greatest dreams is to travel to New Zealand to explore the grounds where "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" were filmed. In the meantime, he is constantly searching for land and places that resemble his beloved Shire. This might be the closet we've found to-date.

We had to stop at C & L Dairy on our way back home. One of the my greatest memories as a child was going with my father up to Glen Elder lake. We would stop at a little dairy store and get an ice cream cone on our way back. For some time, there was a little zoo with about 2-3 animals across the way. It was enough for me to be completely enthralled as a child. I didn't know BIG zoos existed. I loved it.

Hi Lindsay,
ReplyDeleteLovely post- spontaneous late afternoon adventures are the best! By the way, Dominic may be interested to know that he can visit many of the LOTR sites in NZ. Hobbiton is open year round and it is amazing to walk around the village, go in some of the houses, have a drink at the Green Dragon. While you pay to enter the Hobbiton site, many others are free to just go and walk around. We have had many holidays finding and exploring the sites. There are great guide books to help- The Lord of the Rings Location Guide etc. An example is the first appearance of the Black Riders was filmed on Mount Victoria, a lovely city park walking distance from inner-city Wellington.

There are few things more wonderful and beautiful than a family at a park. Hopefully the mosquitoes there aren't as bad as in South Dakota this late summer.
ReplyDeleteYour family is so beautiful. I love hearing about how much joy they bring you. It reminds me to look for joy with my own children on the days they are tired or crabby. I think sometimes we get so busy, we forget to just step back and watch. Have a great week! Lesley from NE
ReplyDeleteI also just love the beauty of your family and your writing. Your writing is a gift of grace to other mothers like myself. Thank you.
DeleteEvery time I read about Dominic and his love of NZ I just want to shout "we are here! come visit!" then I realise that is odd and I dont actually "know" you. We live on 17,000 acres in (very) rural NZ.
ReplyDeleteOh! I'm so glad you're back! I've missed you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteI just read all three of these September posts - so glad you're back to posting a little!! I hope you are feeling well. I thought your comments about Dominic were especially poignant. My next boy is a senior this year and heading off the college soon. It never gets easier.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! It gives me extra joy to go through my own motherhood path! Btw, I pregnant too, just 1.5w behind you! Hope you can keep up with the blog as long as you can! I really see you as a spiritual - but natural - guide for me every time I check in here!!
ReplyDeleteHi how are you? The baby is born?
ReplyDeleteIs the new baby here??
ReplyDeleteI love hearing you mention Lee's Chicken! While my family moved to Kansas when I was six, we would always come "home" to Nebraska for Cornhusker games, and Lee's Chicken is a staple when in any way feasible on those trips.
ReplyDeleteHello every body.
ReplyDeleteI'm from United Kingdom England, I just want to share my experience with the world on how Dr IyaryI help me, I got my husband back and saved my marriage… I was married for 3 years with 1kid and we lived happily until things started getting ugly and we had fights and argued almost every time… it got worse at a point that he filed for divorce… I tried my best to make him change his mind & stay with me because I love him so much and don’t want to lose him but everything just didn't work out… he moved out of the house because it was a rented apartment and still went ahead to file for divorce… I pleaded and tried everything but still nothing worked. The breakthrough came when someone introduced me to this wonderful, great spell caster who eventually helped me out… I have never been a fan of things like this but just decided to try reluctantly because I was desperate and left with no choice… He did special prayers and used his power… Within 4 days my husband called me and he said he was sorry for all the emotional pains he had cost me, moved back to the house and we continue to live happily and our kid is happy too and we are expecting our second child… I have introduced him to a lot of couples with problems across the world and they have had good news… Just thought I should share my experience because I strongly believe someone out there need’s it… You can email him through his email.(driayaryi2012@hotmail.com) And also Reach him on WhatsApp Number: +2349057915709 Thanks Dr. IyaryI driayaryi2012@hotmail.com

ReplyDeleteI’m so excited because my broken marriage has been restored & my husband is back after he left me and our 2 kids for another woman. After 8 years of marriage, me and my husband has been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me and moved to California to be with another woman. i felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. i tried to be strong just for the kids but i could not control the pains that torments my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because i was really in love with my husband. Every day and night i think of him and always wish he would come back to me, I was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that DR.Osasu can help get ex back fast. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a (Love spell) for me. 28 hours later, my husband really called me and told me that he miss me and the kids so much, So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and the kids. Then from that day,our Marriage was now stronger than how it were before,All thanks to DR.Osasu . he is so powerful and i decided to share my story on the internet that DR.Osasu real and powerful spell caster who i will always pray to live long to help his children in the time of trouble, if you are here and you need your Ex back or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact this powerful spell caster now.
