Happy Friday! I’ve been a bit behind on the blog over the past few weeks… but only because we’ve been busy, in a good way.

Happy Friday! Yesterday was Kristin’s 30th birthday, so we’ve had a fun week of celebration. Her birthday present (a collaborative gift from her husband, parents, in-laws, both sisters’ families, and brother-in-law’s family) was a new camera. She’s having fun learning the contours of her new toy – a Canon Rebel. It certainly takes better pictures… [Read more…]

Sofia is three. Hard to believe. She’s very smart and very verbal (although sometimes a bit shy). Here’s a not-so-shy moment with mom, Emma (15 months!), and the video camera. Enjoy!

Happy Friday! I’ve been blessed with three amazing women in my life (among others). It’s truly amazing to see how fast the girls are growing up. Sofia is playing/learning so much every day. Her memory and vocabulary amaze me. Very verbal. Emma is running, climbing, and beginning to try her hand at words (mama, dada,… [Read more…]

Happy Friday! We didn’t snap any new photos this week… so I guess that means it’s time for a Friday Photos Flashback. Here are a couple of photos from January of 2009 and a couple of shots from January of 2011. Really, I don’t think Kristin ages (amazing… but that’s the least of her superhero-like… [Read more…]

Yesterday was a day of celebration for our family: my birthday, Halloween, Reformation Day, race day, and weigh-in day. Wow! 1 – Back in April I made a commitment: lose 30 pounds by my 30th birthday. I’m happy to report that I made my goal! After our furlough in the US (aka, Candyland), I was… [Read more…]

It should be a fun and productive time together with the team. More about that on Monday… until then, enjoy some photos from our week… [Read more…]

Happy Friday… and welcome back! Although it was nice to take a short break from the blog, it’s good to be back and posting! One change, however: rather than rushing around to post three times a week (which is a bit much in my current season of family and ministry), I think I’ll shoot for… [Read more…]
