  • Yucky Peas

    2719 Bit of shameless self-promotion, but who cares. My wife has been working for the past few days on different clothing ideas, but so far, I haven’t heard any ideas on how she plans to advertise her products. So check them out and let us know what you think.

  • “If the doctor doesn’t take off the lump…

    …from your arm, mom, will your whole body turn into one big lump? Like if it just keeps getting bigger and bigger?” Serious question from a four year old about my surgery tomorrow morning to remove a lipoma from my arm. “No, my whole body won’t turn into a lump. But, it does need to […]

  • Quote of the Day; Penne Garden Alfredo

    “EEeeww! Dinner smells like spider!” – Thomas, peering to a pot of boiling chicken broth made from our delicious “Chicken Stuffed with Garlic Butter” grilling experiment, the recipe taken from pages 208-10 of How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques and Recipes by Steven Raichlen. It should be noted that I was […]

  • Treasure Hunting

    We had a great day yesterday! After going to Uncle Andrew and Uncle Peter’s soccer game, we took a borrowed GPS receiver and Sarah, Thomas, Tabitha, Andrew, Peter and myself all drove off to the Struble Trail to go hunt for treasure. Geocaching is a sport/hobby where people go and hide items around the world, […]

  • Mud Party

    New photos online from last week’s Mud Party. Click the photo to see more. This happened about 15 minutes before dinner was to begin. Baths took a priority to dinner that night!

  • He Never Ever Sinned?

    Tonight at bedtime, both Thomas and Tabitha expressed fear about dying as I was tucking them in. Although we often talk about Jesus, this evening was different because both children said specifically that they believed in Him. My mind is not quick, nor do I boast having great theological knowledge, and I pray that God […]

  • Love Seat Kiddie Jump

    Who knew a tipped-over love seat could be so much fun? Click on the photo for more pics.

  • Beware of Parents with Video Cameras

    There are certain items which, when combined, create a noxious result. Combine a video camera and a young baby, and you get inane movies like this one. But, of course, as parents, we think it’s the cutest thing in the world. And so should you. Yes, we did film Micah blinking and put it on […]

  • Labor Day

    Labor Day this year was probably one of the most relaxing we’ve had in a while. The Carlson family, who are dear friends, came over and we had a leisurely afternoon together, feasting together, spitting watermelon seeds, and thanking God for our blessings – including the perfect weather. While the men burned a tree that […]

  • Cutie Pie Micah

    Micah required a bath tonight. He was giggly afterwards and smelling like a clean, Johnson and Johnson baby. Couldn’t resist snapping a few photos with him. Check out his fat rolls on the picture where he’s beeping my nose!!MomMicah/mommicah1

  • Wedding Anniversary

    Today is our 6th Wedding Anniversary. To celebrate, Tom and I went to a concert in Phily last night. Tonight, we took the kiddies out to dinner at the Longhorn Steakhouse – all of the manners-practice at cheap food joints paid off. They were very well behaved, making mommy and daddy quite proud. XXII When […]

  • A Chick Hatches

    Whose idea was it to read A Chick Hatches?!?! Um, that would be mine. While Tom was gone, we would read it aloud every day to the nest on our porch. Eventually, the chick did hatch! A little Robin. He fell from his nest a little too soon, but learned to fly within a few […]

  • Mini Golf

    This past weekend, we took the children to Boulder Falls Miniature Golf at the United Sports Training Center in Downingtown. They had never been miniature golfing (though Tom has taken Thomas golfing with him – Thomas even has his own kid-size club). There is only one course at Boulder Falls, and it’s not decked out […]
