Why The Mended Wood

The Pilot Craftsman

He's an engineer by day and a pilot by heart. Woodworking and family adventures also fill his days, and I'm so glad we get to spend them together.

The Writer

When not homeschooling or feeding my people, I like to read, knit, stare at our garden and chickens and spend time with friends. I have an unnatural love of Costco and yogurt covered pretzels.

The Builder

He's 8 and full of energy, ideas and enthusiasm. Legos and an audiobook keep him occupied for hours and he loves his friends, acting out an imaginary story and drawing.

The Future Pilot

Ten years from now he'll be 17 and a licensed pilot and he can't wait. Until then, he plays with airplanes, reads about them, rides his bike and does gymnastics. He also weed wacks with a passion and never forgets a detail.

The Ballerina

She holds her own with three brothers and brings a touch of girliness to their lives with her love of ballet, Calico Critters and dolls. She's becoming my fellow L.M. Montgomery fan and dearly loves her bright purple stuffed sloth with the fierce love of a five year old.

The Farmer

He's got a passion for tractors, Little Blue Truck books, being outside and swings. Whatever you're doing, this (nearly) 2 year old wants to do, too.
