Happy Birthday To Our Firstborn!
Our firstborn turned 10 yesterday! Any parent who’s been blessed with a strong-willed child knows that these are the kids that keep you on your knees. They make you humble – reliant on God’s grace – and keep you begging for wisdom. And while this doesn’t make parenting easy, it does make it incredibly rewarding when you see the fruit that comes from sewing good seed into their hearts.
2014 ~ A Year of Blessing
It seems weird to label one particular year a “year of blessing” because quite honestly we have been blessed again and again undeservedly, even in seasons of felt difficulty and trial. But this year felt exceptionally unique in its blessedness! 2014 began with a trip to Florida to be with family and ended with […]
Working Together
Goodness. Where do I start? If I had to describe these last 4 months of our lives in one word it would be… Eventful. If it were up to me I wouldn’t have planned for all of these amazing life events to collide within a 4-month period, but I sure am enjoying the ride! From […]
“How Are You REALLY Doing?”
“How are you really doing?” I love this question. I think it’s one of the most wonderful questions in the world. It shows care, concern, and a desire to listen and really know a person. As adults we have all sorts of canned responses and pat-answers for frequent questions. I’m not saying there isn’t a […]
Settling Into Durango
Well we made it to Durango, Colorado ~ all four of us together again!I wish I could take you along the journey day-by-day from this past month because in it you would see evidence of God’s grace, providence, and sovereign care time and again. BUT I know that neither you nor myself have the time […]
Living Apart
Most of you already know from Ty’s previous post that he accepted a job as Senior Operator at a natural gas processing plant for Williams Co. in Durango, Colorado. July 1st was his official start date, so with that in sight June flew by as we tried to plan and prepare for yet another move! […]
Our Nya Joy Turns 6
“We are a third of the way through raising her…” These were my bittersweet words to Ty this past Friday, December 28th, when our “little bug” turned 6. Nya has been a gift to us in more ways than we have time to explain in a simple blog post. She is smart, witty, humorous, […]
Like Mother Like Daughter
Tuesday was a rough day at the Dr.’s office. The girls both had their yearly well-child exams and immunizations. Both were quite excited to see Dr. Rhonda and give her the pictures they’d colored for her! …BUT… all that changed when the needle came out. (click to continue) Now, my precious Nya bug is a […]
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter! It’s been a joyous week for the Schemanski family, even though Ty is in Alaska and us girls are in Michigan. The joy of the resurrection fills our hearts with gladness and praise no matter where we are, but we do look forward to being together in a couple weeks! In the mean […]
