Thursday was a busy day packing up all our stuff (again!) and loading everything back in the van. We cleaned up the Airbnb the best we could, making sure dishes were put away and things were swept up. Then we loaded up and I drove us to Wichita, KS! This will be our last stop […]

One of the interesting things that has come out of this trip is that the kids have started hanging out segregated by gender. The boys discovered that they can link their headphones, and they spent most of the day connected to each other, listening to music and audio performances. It’s nice to see them getting

Tuesday morning I took the kids into Rogers to explore the town a bit. Sadly, the majority of the shops had greatly reduced hours because of COVID, so there wasn’t a whole lot to see. But, we did go into a little boutique shop and found a housewarming gift for our friends James & Yesi,

After all of us worked on our own stuff throughout the day, we met up with James and Yesi in the evening to do a bunch of things! I took a few headshots for Yesi for her new job, we went and toured their new house that they’re building, and then we met up for

We got right up on Sunday, got everyone fed and dressed and headed out to meet James and Yesi for church. They are still exploring and trying to find a church home here, so we were going to visit a new church with them. We got there right on time, but there was no one

The kids were all up at the crack of dawn, so they had cereal and played on their tablets while we stayed in bed and failed to go back to sleep. Oh well. Once everyone was fed and dressed and such, we headed to the Crystal Bridges museum of American Art – it was founded

There were also tons of butterfly bushes and tons of big fat butterflies everywhere drinking the nectar! I had fun

The kids and I enjoyed a laid back day while everyone else worked. 🙂 I got a lot of writing done, which felt awesome! I sat outside in the shade while the kids played and wrote and drank rooibos tea. It was wonderful! I also had the kids clean out the super gross van. It’s

Once it was time to check out of our motel, we headed to a nearby attraction – The Old Mill. It was the first result when Lover searched for places for us to hang out while we waited for him to finish work, and that’s where we landed. It was shockingly beautiful! I was so

Tuesday morning we packed up and said sayonara to Memphis. It took us exactly seven minutes to grab all of our stuff, get in the van and get everyone buckled! We are getting really good at this! We hit the road, with me driving because Lover was working. And…we only got a mile or two
