December 9, 2013 The Gathering Site

'A portrait a week of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013'

Needless to say, our first snow experience of the season was a complete success!

Hi! I'm Chelsea. I live in Cincinnati with my husband Trent, our boys (singleton Soren, the twins Marley and Mayer, the babe - Orion) and August - our ole' lady pitbull. The Gathering Site is Trent's brainchild. A fantasy card shop catering to the finest cards and committed client. Trent protects, I maintain, our 4 wee gents terrorize while we run the card biz and explore this fine city. A place to gather. A place to play.

Catching lightening beetles. An essential part of summer #crutcherinc #community #kidsareawesome #lovethemsomuch

Perpetually finding improvement needs. This swing set has been a cornerstone for the kids in our neighborhood since we moved in. It’s 50 years old. The top bar and hardware have bit the dust but the A frame is still in great shape. It was time for a new top bar rig and my hubs @trentcrutcher never disappoints. No matter how many hours he works a week and how tired he is - he always finds time to help me with these projects. And spearheads a lot of them. I’ve learned how to use a drop saw, table saw and several drill supplies because of this man. Thank you @trentcrutcher #myhubsisthebest ❤️ #crutcherinc

This is teamwork on so many levels. Our neighbor has extra plywood and is donating it to the coop. Where we will all benefit from the eggs. The boys are helping carry them carefully over their new fence - then placing them in the garage to be cut later. Working seamlessly together. Have I mentioned how much I love our community?!!! ❤️ #crutcherinc #community #kidsareawesome

This summer is flying by. This is from our neighborhood camp out last week. We are so truly blessed with the most amazing community. The boys were introducing Mbube - a South African game to their community. It is now a favorite. My heart is so full. ❤️ #crutcherinc #kidsareawesome

These are the days. @volck_5 teaching the boys all the diablo tricks. #crutcherinc #kidsareawesome

This little pup gave us quite the scare a couple days ago. We were prepared to say goodbye. After bloodwork we still don’t know what attacked her or if it’s old age (she’s 13!) but we do know we get to hold her for just a little longer. This guy doesn’t know life without her. However he’s prepared to let her go when it’s time ‘I don’t want her to be in pain. I love her too much’ he says. You are loved pup. Sleep the days away and soak up the cuddles. #crutcherinc #pitbullsrule #mylittlepitty

They asked for fresh new cuts. Dang handsomes. #crutcherinc #lovethemsomuch #motherhoodrules #kidsareawesome
