My mom texted me tonight to alert me that Prep & Landing was on @abcnetwork and while we don’t have live TV, we do have our very own Lanny. #prepandlanding #bestchristmasmovie

Just a couple of kids watching Snowy Day so I can shower. #thebooneshow #bunchofboones

To all you people who have your life together - a life of Christmas joy and magic - just know I once did as well... And now, uh well now, I have a house torn apart in the quest to create the perfect Ninja turtle lair and kids who haven’t visited Santa in years thanks to a husband whose away EVERY weekend in December. Christmas, 2015, a former life

Multiple times today the reality of our situation smacked me across the face. Our life is currently on hold in so many ways, including preparing Christmas for the kids. And while I have been shoving it to the back of my mind to avoid a meltdown, the reality is creeping in and not subsiding. Our housing situation has been insane since moving here and was never suppose to be this way. Promises broken, lessons learned, prays needed. In one month, our life will likely be turned upside down. And scariest of all I actually have no clue what that upside down could be. If this was me years ago, the adventure and chaos would be partially exciting, but I feel the wind knocked out of me every time I think about the effects on Flynn, who struggles to navigate change and Nola who requires stability. And as I sit here with the unknown, I continue to breathe knowing that in less than a month - regardless of what happens - I will have answers. Answers that will lead to a process of peace.

Flynn, 6. His first official school picture, second if you count the one from his few months in daycare when he was 1. He is sweet, kind, thoughtful, and more patience than I ever have been. He loves sports, drawing, being outside, doing math problems, and making bedtime absolutely horrid :) He loves sporty clothes only and his hair to be left alone as he claims “it’s who he is and we can’t change that”. First grade isn’t totally his jam, but he’s rising to the occasion and navigating it day by day. The world has a lot to learn from Flynn Boone, including, but not limited to the importance of good sweatpants. #flynnboone #flynniedeacon #schoolphotos #firstgrade

These two could not be anymore different. For one rules are the way of life, never to be broken, followed exactly and perfectly. For the other, rules are merely suggestions and just obstacles to tackle as you navigate getting what you want. For one, things must be just right in order to proceed, perfect and complete. The other will tend to those things later, if at all. One a night owl, the other an early riser. They really could not be more different, however, they are truly each other’s best friend. In some seasons, their 18 month difference seemed huge and in other times they seem like twins. No matter the time, they are the exact person they need to navigate life - a friend to challenge them, to comfort them, to protect them, to support them. And while I’m certain there will be times of distance, of separation, times of anger or frustration, I am grateful that for the moment they can walk this world side by side. #flynnandnola

When your mom says “this snow is kind of wonderful I almost don’t even want to leave” face. #quincelikeprince #quincedelane #mountainlife #mountainkids #adkkids #snow #winter #adirondacks #adklife

Throw back to little old Navi in her Ella’s Woolies. She still finds a way to squeeze into this, but good news is so many sizes and colors have been restocked. If you have been wanting a new size order soon because they often sell out. Nola has convinced me she needs pink and gray is “just not my thing anymore”. Also, Flynn loves to wear the tank under his clothes at school - helps keep him warm outside and not too hot while indoors!

Same snowsuit, different kid. Yesterday was Kindness Day and this girl’s name means Kind to People. I remember when we learned the meaning of her name, we were sold. Navi has lived up to this and then some. Whenever I feel overwhelmed in a world where it seems everyone is so focus on themselves, I look to this lady who constantly spreads her joy and kindness. And while I am bothered when people say their children give them hope for the future, as if our children should bare the responsibility of fixing the hate in our world... I do look at Navi (and all my kids) as they teach me just how easy it is to be kind to all.
