While we start school, juggle a new job and other responsibilities, and slowly work on updating a house...</span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">So.....</span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">We've been in our hometown of Ripon, California for about three and a half weeks now. We arrived in a cloud of excitement/frustration as we had car issues on the way down from Seattle which required us to spend an extra night on the road, making a 14 hour drive take about 3 days. </span><div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The excitement came from the fact that as we neared the homestead on Highway 99, the back door of our trailer opened and items came tumbling out. We confirmed that it was one roller skate and a few books as Jason heroically dove into the weeds on the shoulder of the road to retrieve them. I'm sure there were a few more things that fell out, but, we've decided that since we can't exactly remember what specific items they were, they must not be super important to us.<br><br>We've moved into one of Jason's grandfather's houses out in the country. We're next door to Jason's childhood home and a mile away from mine. We both grew up outside of Ripon in the almond orchards and we're excited that the kids are going to get to have a similar childhood.<br><br>Right now we're still settling in and unpacking. With four little ones (one only being 10 weeks old) and starting 1st grade and pre-K, things are a little busy. But we have our kitchen unpacked and the bedroom unpacked. </div><div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> </div><div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">So hopefully I'll be able to keep up with this blogging thing as we transition back into life in the Central Valley and do exciting things like install new electrical panels and re-wire the house.</div><div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">What the living room looked like after we arrived.

<br />
Life has been busy with three little people, lots of activities, playing, schooling, and then when you throw major morning sickness in there from Halloween until Groundhog Day, you might understand why I haven't been on here as much.<br />
<br />
But I wanted to write on here again because we're about to go on a little adventure. Well it may not seem super adventurous to move back to your hometown, but for me it is. Any change for me is something that I need a long time to process and plan. I like to fill out forms six months in advance for activities the kids are doing. We've been talking about moving, oh, just...the entire time since Jason graduated from college, but we finally decided just to go. So we're jumping off and moving back to the central valley.<br />
<br />
When Jason talked to me this winter and told me he really wanted to just go this summer after we had the baby, I was not super happy at first to be completely honest. I love it here in Moscow. But as with all ideas, if you give them time to sit in your head, you start to get excited about new things to do, places to go, and adventures to have with the kids all exactly where you and your husband grew up. So now I am on board...as evidenced by the fact that my living room already has boxes in it as I am starting to pack and sort through our stuffs. Come the end of July, we will be hitting the road for the golden state.<br />
<br />
To be sure, I will probably be a basket case when we actually leave Moscow. And by basket case, we're talking a recently post-partum lady (yikes). But over the last few months I have been praying to have peace about leaving the friendships and community that we have here and to look forward to all there is to come.<br />
<br />
I will really miss Moscow though. We will be leaving a lot of very dear friends. As much as we like to complain about living in a small town in the middle of the Palouse hills, I am very lucky that I can do all of my shopping within a 5 minute radius of our house. Moscow has a wonderful community, both our church and the city. Our wonderful farmer's market, the parks, the co-op...oh man, don't even remind me that I will be leaving our co-op. I guess I will have to start perfecting my own pesto roll recipe. <br />
<br />
The other strange thing about this whole move is that we're going back to our hometown as fairly different people than we were when we left it. I know most everyone changes as they get married, have kids, and start making life decisions about how to raise their family, but it does seem strange to move back to our hometown with a different way of looking at life. <br />
<br />
But the most important thing is that we will be closer to family so that we can help out and the kids can spend more time with at least one set of grandparents. We'll be much further from Seattle of course, but now we only have one side of the family to visit and they'll have lots of places to stay with friends when they come down our way. I remind myself of these positives when I think about the fact that our car registration fees will be three times as expensive and utilities will be twice as expensive...which by the way, everyone in the northwest should be thankful for our hydroelectric power.<br />
<br />
So my children will be sporting One World Cafe t-shirts and Jason and I will wear our moccasins with pride as we move back to the land of tract home sprawl, malls, and lovely, lovely almond trees. And please, can someone tell me where to find a good coffee shop in Modesto?

I need to post more often. But now they are 5, 3, and 1. We had parties, cake, cupcakes, ice cream, sword fights, and crafts. It was cold and rainy on their birthdays which is a little unusual for the beginning of August. But it was also a nice break from the heat. Our garden is starting to ripen and we are starting to get a few tomatoes, zucchini, and cucumbers. Gladiolas and sunflowers too. I like summer.<br />

It's the little man's birthday today. He is one. I'm not sure how that happened, but a whole year has passed since Casper came into our lives. All 10 pounds of him. He is a cheerful sweet baby boy who adores his brother and sister. He squeals when he sees them first thing in the morning. He is furniture-cruising and thinking about walking. He loves cuddling more than our other two and loves to sneak pieces of pillow-stuffing out of my craft closet to rub in his hands. <br />
<br />
He has six teeth out and two more coming in. He likes to say, "Hi!" We love him.<br />
<br />
Happy birthday Casper Olevian Witt Schuiling!<br />

Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08117646402621080498noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879351.post-70155919033211556652013-06-09T21:02:00.000-07:002013-06-09T21:02:06.752-07:00Our first (very) busy weekend in JuneThis afternoon we made it up to Laird Park for the first time this year. We love it up there. Little picnic area, playground, a great place to hang out and enjoy the afternoon. But more on that later...<br />
<br />
The weekend was rather full and busy. Friday night, Jason slept out in the backyard with Hazel and Klaas. Casper and I stayed in the house. While I do love camping, I like to keep my sleeping in a tent with an almost one-year old to a minimum. <br />
<br />
I woke up at 5am hearing Hazel and Klaas discussing what superhero they were (my window was open). This was followed by silence from 5-7am. I was amazed Jason had gotten them to go back to sleep, but I found out later he had given them his phone to watch Bob the Builder episodes. I do love my husband and that he is willing to sleep out in the backyard with the kiddos, sharing a mattress with two rather squiggly little people. I guess Klaas spent half the night asleep on the tent floor as he didn't want to share his bed with anyone. <br />
<br />
Around 7 they trooped out to get donuts (for the second day in a row as Friday was National Donut Day and I took the kids to get delicious and free(!) mini donuts from Buy the Dozen). So the kids were rather hyper with the combination of sleep-deprivation and sugar. It was pretty funny watch them zing around the house Saturday morning.<br />
<br />
So of course we loaded them up to hit yard sales and the Farmer's Market. We scored woodworking tools, a sandbox, a giant blackboard for the kids' room, and various little plastic toys that will soon find their way to the thrift store. Also a little set of Thomas the Train books that Hazel adores as they are tiny and cute.<br />
<br />
The blackboard was purchased from an Idahoan hipster couple holding a moving sale outside their apartment (which coincidentally, Jason lived in during one of his college years). They had used the blackboard to decide where to move (Portland or Chicago) and the board still bore the Ven diagram they had used to evaluate each city and make their decision.<br />
<br />
At the market we picked up more tomatos (the Latah variety - of course we have to try it at least once), cucumbers, zucchini, and melon. Jason built a potato cage last night...now we just need to plant the potatoes. And remember to water them since last summer we seemed to forget to water the potatoes a bit.<br />

<br />
Back to today...we woke up a bit late, rushed around to get ready for church and I accidentally sat on some blueberries Casper had dropped on my seat. I of course was wearing a white skirt. Finally get everyone in the car and realize that my car keys are in Colfax (long story). So we end up missing church and after some Bible lessons with the kids, Jason heads out to retrieve my missing keys. <br />
<br />
He gets back in time for us to head up to the river for the day with lots of good friends. We had a great time eating hot dogs and watermelon, wading in freezing water, and just relaxing. Now we are home and the kids are crashed. <br />
<br />
Hazel literally crashed down in her closet when we got home when she was climbing up to find something for her stuffed dog to wear. So now she has a huge bruise on her cheek. <br />
<br />
So we are just relaxing to gear up for another week. Tomorrow we get to hang out with our neighbors that we met at the yard sale on Saturday (yay!), swing by the recycling center in search of newspapers for our compost pile, and try to put away all the laundry that I have been ignoring that is in our room. <br />
<br />
Happy Sabbath!<br />

Gwyneth Paltrow was right. It does make your heart proud when you see your children asking to eat kale and brown rice. But of course, just to keep it real, my children ask for french fries every time we pass McDonald's. So they have the best of both worlds. <br />
<br />
I want to make chevre. I might try soon with a couple of friends. Jason, Klaas, and I all love it to death. Hazel thinks we are crazy. Today at lunch, Klaas had bread with goat cheese and Hazel had bread with kale. I had bread with both on it. Yum. <br />

I had a new friend over the other day to embroider together. This might be the start of some sort of weekly/monthly thing. Because of course, we all have nothing better to do than work on tiny little projects that take weeks to complete. <br />
<br />
Casper now can stand up in his bed. And he's ten months old. And he has four teeth coming in on top, making a grand total of six teeth. He also knows his name and is a grinny baby.<br />

Klaas wears underwear, but refuses to use the toilet. He has been promised a "shoot gun" when he stops using diapers....but we may need to break out a potty chart to make this a more real concept in his little 2.5 year old brain.<br />
<br />
Hazel can now sight read a few small words and asks to do her math lesson every day. She also asks to watch Mystery Busytown and Spiderman every day too though. <br />
<br />
I planted broccoli and chard seeds outside. <i>They</i> say you can plant them before it stops freezing and they will be fine, but I have my doubts since nothing has come up in two weeks.<br />
<br />
You should read <a href="http://imustnotthinkbadthoughts.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/more-rolls-than-a-bakery/" target="_blank">this post about mama bodies</a> and <a href="http://imustnotthinkbadthoughts.wordpress.com/2013/02/15/death-by-mall/" target="_blank">this one about teaching our children to love our lives/families.</a> They are both by my friend Miranda. She's awesome. And not just because she basically wrote out what I thought before I had a chance to do it. But also because she's fun and she likes her job as a mama.<br />

Me and the girly. She had such a good time watching her friends' ballet and Irish Step recital. Of course this was followed by much pleading to take dance next year. We will soon have a little ballerina in our midst. Yesterday while showing off her dance moves in the living room though, she told me "I don't have to take any dance classes next year. I already know all the steps, see!"<br />

I also made <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/marcela-valladolid/chocoflan-recipe/index.html" target="_blank">this</a> chocoflan cake last weekend. It was so good. And it's a mini science experiment since you pour the flan over the cake batter in the pan and as it bakes, the flan settles to the bottom. Amazing!<br />
<br />
You should also start reading my friend's husband's <a href="http://stervenson.wordpress.com/">stories.</a> They're good. <br />
<br />
You may carry on with your day now.<br />

Yesterday was Jason's birthday. We were lucky to have Maria from <i>The Sound of Music</i> join us for dinner, dessert, and presents. I think this is the first time she has worn that costume in a year. Not sure why she chose last night to break it out.<br />
<br />
The kids got Jason new work gloves. When he came home, Hazel ran up to say, "Happy Birthday Daddy! We got you a present!" Klaas, so excited, chimed in, "They're GLOVES!" Not too great with secrets yet. <br />
<br />
Klaas also reminded us to sing "Happy Birthday" to Jason. "Wait, wait!" We had started to eat our custard (the requested dessert) without singing first. "We have to sing 'Happy Birthday'!!" <br />
<br />
We also got Jason new workboots. It was a good evening, with ribs, rosemary garlic potatoes, and asparagus. Cream cheese custard for dessert.<br />
<br />
*I blame the iPhone, but I hardly ever break out our camera any more. But I need to. It's my goal to take more "real" pictures. And to blog again.Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08117646402621080498noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879351.post-60060758042652980822013-02-22T14:33:00.000-08:002013-02-22T14:34:31.116-08:00Stripey ChairI inherited a little chair from a friend of mine who lives in Boise. I've never been to Boise, but we are friends nonetheless. We "met" online several years ago through a mutual friend. Anywho, last time she was up visiting, she asked if I wanted to take this little chair off her hands.<br />
<br />
I said yes, of course. Fast forward about 4 months, and I actually did something about making it look a little nicer.<br />
<br />

<br />
The original fabric was a bear and balloon print, circa 1985. I wanted to use what I had around, so I grabbed this red and white striped material and some dark purple linen for the sides and back. I didn't have enough to do the same fabric all over, but I kind of like the patch-work look of it.<br />
<br />
This is the first time I have "recovered" any furniture, unless you count throwing a sheet over an old couch. So things are not as tight and neat as I would have liked. Still happy with the results though.<br />
<br />
Basically, I just unscrewed the arms and then removed the staples holding the cover onto the chair. Ripped out all the seams, traced the pattern pieces onto my new fabric, sewed it up following the original sewing lines, added a little more batting to the seat and back, painted the arms and base white (they were a not-so-great odd wood-color before), reattached everything, and presto!<br />
<br />

You can tell I was determined to get this done since I spray-painted the wood pieces when it was about 45 degrees outside. It was at least not snowing. You have to take what you get in terms of weather when you live in Idaho.<br />

And like all things you do for your children, they were less than impressed. I showed the kids the newly redone chair I asked, "Do you like it? Do you want to sit in it and read?" They responded with a "meh" and went about their business. That's ok. I still like it. And they do sit on it to read or stand on it to look out the window to check the weather.

<br />
to love Christ and to show that love daily<br />
to be independent<br />
to be creative<br />
to bond with our family first and then branch out to other people<br />
to be good thinkers, to be analytical<br />
to not worry about what others think<br />
to be modest, in dress and in attitude<br />
to eat well, cook well<br />
to grow and store food on our own<br />
to own land someday<br />
to live in the country (ish) and be in nature as much as possible<br />
to live simply, in as small a home as is realistic for our family size <br />
to love the classics, in clothes, books, food, theology<br />
to learn and practice skills not commonly used anymore: carpentry, sewing, masonry, gardening, home preservation, knitting, etc....<br />
to love, really love, the simple things in life<br />
to have a passion for school, homeschooling, and do that in a creative way<br />
to not be worried or stressed about things that might happen, but to trust that the Lord is in control of every aspect of our lives and has a good and perfect plan for all of us<br />
to do our best in everything, to try harder, to never give up<br />
for our daughter and sons to know and love what it is to be female and male and to celebrate the differences that the Lord has given each gender<br />
to love each other<br />
to like wearing moccasins <br />
<br />
<br />

K: (In the process of shoving a baseball in Hazel's fringed boot) Boot!<br />
H: Oh. (Impressed.) That's a really hard game.<br />
K: Yes. It's a berry hard game.<br />
<br />
K: Mommy! Mommy! Stop dancing! I have something to tell you!<br />
Me: What?<br />
K: I am playing boot!<br />

After reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Hazel said to be that if I was fat, I would be a caterpillar.<br />

Jason and I made a felt and leather blotter for our desk this weekend. We needed something to keep our keyboard and phone paraphanalia in place. I think he saw something like this on Pinterest (of course), so we went ahead and made one ourselves.<br />
<br />
We used a wool-blend felt in a heathered blue/gray. Jason cut out some leather pieces to use for folders/holders and I stitched the whole thing together with red embroidery floss. Jason tacked the two pieces of felt together with quilt basting spray to make sure nothing moved and to give it a little more stiffness. <br />
<br />
I love it! <br />

I have a couple of these Dala horses and thought they would make a good pattern for an embroidery project. Dalahast are from Sweden, and more specifically the province of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalecarlian_horse" target="_blank">Dalarna</a>. My mom always had a few in our kitchen when we were growing up and I really love them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSeNLllQFZGTHkWnmSxZUhyphenhyphen0ipQ6VEf3HfVJPjg9E7UrdU0NHWffkLC1RGWpJpvCy6NRNHpfVg5OMTqjgQeV0B9ksbQqPn3BGwioghhRfisI8pnzLIYTZf6OrT4YVMZ7KE7CJAAw/s1600/IMG_2344.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSeNLllQFZGTHkWnmSxZUhyphenhyphen0ipQ6VEf3HfVJPjg9E7UrdU0NHWffkLC1RGWpJpvCy6NRNHpfVg5OMTqjgQeV0B9ksbQqPn3BGwioghhRfisI8pnzLIYTZf6OrT4YVMZ7KE7CJAAw/s400/IMG_2344.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
So to do this project, you will need:<br />
<br />
2 fabrics<br />
-one large piece for the background that is the same size as your pillow front<br />
-one piece for your horse(s)<br />
Fusible web backing/interfacing, such as Wonder Under<br />
Water-soluble fabric pen or chalk<br />
Embroidery floss in your chosen colors<br />
Embroidery hoop<br />
Needle <br />
<br />
Start off with taking your interfacing, and using the paper side, trace the image of the horse. I just Googled "dala horse" and traced a <a href="http://www.makinglearningfun.com/Activities/Geography/DalaHorse/DalaHorse-lines.gif" target="_blank">coloring page</a> once I figured out what size of horse I wanted.<br />
<br />
Cut out the horse and apply the interfacing, sticky-side down, to the backside of the fabric you are using for the horse. I don't have any pictures of this step, but you can check out this <a href="http://www.craftbuds.com/how-to-make-an-applique/" target="_blank">tutorial</a> on applique<a href="http://www.craftbuds.com/how-to-make-an-applique/" target="_blank"></a>. Iron in place, let cool, and then peel off the paper backing.<br />
<br />
Now you have a horse-shaped piece of fabric with a sticky side, ready to be applied to your background fabric.<br />
<br />
Place your horse on the background where you want it, and iron in place. You really should stitch around the edge of the horse with your sewing machine with similarly colored thread, so the edges won't start to peel back. I didn't do this because I forgot....but I definitely would recommend doing this. <br />
<br />
Now you're ready to draw the design for the embellishments. The best tool would be a water-soluble fabric pen. They're awesome because once you don't need the outline anymore, you can just rub a bit of water on the pen lines and they disappear. <br />
<br />
I, of course, couldn't find mine, so I just used chalk. It worked just as well.<br />

I used my Dalahast as models for my pattern, but you can also look at the million of Dalahast on Google images.</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once I had my pattern traced out, I got to work. I mostly used a <a href="http://www.needlenthread.com/2006/10/embroidery-stitch-video-tutorial-chain.html" target="_blank">chain stitch</a> for the pattern. Of course you can use whatever <a href="http://www.embroiderersguild.com/stitch/stitches/" target="_blank">embroidery stitch</a> tickles your fancy. For the blue filling below, I used a seed stitch/running stitch. And for the dots, I used a French knot. </div>

So far I just have one horse finished, so I still have a ways to go. I'll post finished pictures when I can...hopefully soon.<br />

So the kids were very excited to get out there and play. Grandma Shellie was here for the weekend, so Hazel got to show her how she sleds down our backyard hill...almost into the frozen tomato plants. With Grandma visiting, we also all went out for breakfast, watched movies, played games, and even made cupcakes! A busy and good weekend.<br />
