We Celebrate Easter
I’ve been told that Easter was once a holiday established by some other far gone religion. It’s a shame that it didn’t start out about Jesus, the one who deserves all celebration, but I love it just the same. In my estimation, Jesus is a redeemer. He redeems us all, and He takes bad conditions…

A Lego Birthday
My little boy turned 4. I don’t know whether I’m more excited for his maturing or sad for the loss of his baby qualities. Mostly I am excited though. I see amazing things in his future and I look forward to being there to encourage and apply band-aides as necessary. We had a party to…

A Visit To JumpTime With The Kids
My Aunt Marilyn called this afternoon and asked if we’d like to bring the kids to play at JumpTime with my cousin’s boy Colton. Having a day free of plans, we were happy to go along for some rowdy playtime. This was our first time to JumpTime but the idea is pretty similar to Bounce or…

A Drive To The Desert
Becky joined a group of Christian ladies known as Keepers of the Home this last weekend for a retreat in McCall. While she was gone it was just me and the kids for the whole day on Saturday so I thought a nice drive would be fun. Elizabeth had earlier in the week expressed an…

Football Mom
Tina pauses the video camera long enough to watch her son plow through the pack. My nephew Dallas taking the hand-off. Watching him was so much fun. He looked like a miniature version of Doug Martin as he lowered his shoulders and plowed his way through, his tiny little frame packing 4 or 5 guys…
