With thankful hearts and suitcases unpacked, we give glory to God!

With thankful hearts, suitcases unpacked, clothes washed and life settling into to a semi-normal routine for the Crowe’s Nest, we want to give glory to God for a wonderful trip to the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival, where our film, Your Backyard:  The Life & Journey of the Amazing Monarch Butterfly, competed in the competition.

3,800 miles in a vehicle provides for hours upon hours of “togetherness” with a healthy dose of laughter and a few tears.  Thankfully, Andrew was the only one crying.  And, the good news is, that after the first, say 1,800, miles, he settled into a semi-enjoyable routine.

My Nest is Best

I love being at home.  It’s true.  I really do.  Sometimes, when I’m away, I feel like Dorothy, ready to click my sparkly, red heals together, repeating “There’s no place like home.  There’s no place like home.”

It’s not that I’m a hermit.  Hardly.  I enjoy time out and about.  I enjoy time with friends.  (Especially if it’s time with friends at Chick-fil-A.) But, I’m always ready to come home.  Always.

A Gate Guards the Litter Box

With a toddler in the house, you always have to think ahead.  Everything is strategic.  Sharp objects are kept out of sight.  Drinks are pushed back toward the back of the counter.  Chairs are kept pushed in.  A gate guards the hallway that leads to the litter box.  (Why do toddlers always go for the litter box?  Ewwww.)  Markers are housed on a high shelf.

In fact, it becomes so natural that you are often completely unaware of your actions.

Hello, Little Goldfinch!

Did you know that the Goldfinch’s plumage changes from summer to winter? It’s true! Goldfinches in the late spring and summer are a vibrant, beautiful yellow, and in the winter, a Goldfinch’s plumage changes to a dull sort of yellow-grayish brown color.  This little bird is one of our favorites!  It’s such an amazing acrobat, hanging upside down, doing everything it can to eat the thistle from our feeders!

The “Monarch” of all Butterflies

Did you know that the Monarch Butterfly is the only butterfly in the world that enjoys an incredible round-trip migration journey, from Canada to Mexico?  It’s true!  Migrating monarchs have been designed by God to live up to 9 months, enabling them to  complete an incredible round-trip migration journey!

We’d love for you to learn more about this little navigational wonder at by visiting our web store.

Go ahead. Get comfy.

Welcome to our nest!  We’re as happy as can be that you’re visiting.  We’ve taken our shoes off–not because we’re stuffy, but because we like to be comfy in our nest.  And, we invite you to get comfy too!  Isn’t it neat how the Lord brings folks together, allowing their lives to touch and their paths to cross, even in cyberspace?
