Merry Christmas!

And for those who haven’t met her, this is J’s Christmas present, Pumpkin: She came to us early, on Thanksgiving weekend. Our day has been blessed so far; may yours be filled with the love of family and friends but most of all love from the One whose birth we celebrate today. Happy birthday, Jesus!

So How’ve You Been?

So this blog has been sorely neglected, right? I’ll work on that. Things keep getting updated on Facebook and all that. But it’s Thanksgiving Day, and that is a wonderful thing. I’ll get you up to speed, blog, but in the meantime, enjoy this little poem to help you remember Who we ought to be [...]

So Cal Vacation Summer 2010 – Day One

Just a few to start things off. Hold on, let me take a moment to let you know that these photos have been delayed because (1) I like to take my time in processing them. School starts soon, we’re finishing the last days of our vacation so Life is taking precedence. (2) I have since [...]

Vacation CA

Finally, it came! The kids waited so patiently for the day to come. Tail end of last week was taken up with cleaning and laundr, laundry, laundry. Thursday was bible study in the afternoon for me and I was so distracted I ran over a skateboard on the way out. So sad, it was brand [...]

God’s Love and Snow Cones

Last night, our family joined a group from church to witness during Austin’s First Thursday arts, crafts, music and food fair. That was a huge blessing! It’s not often that we are able to serve in ministry as a family. It was also awesome to see the boys in action. They were with a couple [...]

VBS

Last week, all week, was our church’s vacation bible school. What did that mean? That means we were tired but blessed. This year was a little different. NM was old enough to go to the junior high and high school camp but he had volunteered to help with VBS. We encouraged him to back up [...]

Wild Basin Preserve

Well, we were really supposed to try and find the Goat Cave Preserve. We tried and were attacked by the cave’s hordes of evil mosquito guardians. We ran back to the truck to put on a coat of bug spray. The bugs hovered behind us then, but mom lost the mental will to stay and [...]

Crafty Boys Strike Again!

We bought our materials yesterday and worked on them today. They were fun! So what if they cost more than those at Old Navy or Target. These are one-of-a-kind beauties! The stencil is made out of freezer paper. We printed the designs, cut out the parts where we wanted the paint to go, then ironed [...]

Fredricksburg

So two weekends ago we headed out to Fredricksburg to see if we could find some peaches to bring home. It would have been a waste of a few good hours to stay at home and sit in front of the computer, know what I mean? Texas Hill Country is just awash with wildflowers right [...]

Brotherly Love

No, it’s hardly the most technically accomplished photograph but the emotion speaks volumes to me. I’m kind of partial to these boys, you know. I hope they remember times like this when they’re older and we’re having hummus and chips at a family reunion. I hope they still like hummus and chips when they’re older. [...]
