Winter Snow Storm – 12 Inches!
Posted in Children, Emily, Family Fun, Joshua on Jan 28th, 2009
A snow day today. School cancelled. Roads blocked and 12 inches of snow on the ground. Even dad got to stay at home and work from his office. The kids were dressed and ready to go outside – even before they had breakfast. Ahhh, if it were only that easy on school days. Our cul-de-sac […]
It is that time of the year again when the school pictures come out. Here is Joshua’s kindergarten picture. We will upload Emily’s and Matthew’s when we get them. Joshua is quickly growing up to be a young boy that makes us proud in so many ways. And with hair like that, how can one […]

The weather has changed since our warm front and this past week real winter came. Nighttime lows of -15 degrees farenheit (-26 C) and strong wind. Schools pretty much shut down yesterday, we got a good bit of snow, so today the family bundled up and headed to our church grounds for some sledding. Not […]
Summer in December?

Gingerbread House

We had a fun afternoon decorating a gingerbread house. All three kids took their hand at creating the “perfect” house, and sneaking a few candies here and there. More pics are available on our SmugMug site.
We used them all!

On a cold December rainy day, the three boys (yes, dad counts on this one) sat down in the living room and started with the Lincoln Logs. Each one of us took a project and pretty soon we had made good progress on many of the logs. Then the challenge was on: Could we use […]
I have used a little bit of this week to convert some old movies into digital form. You can see two classics in our video section: one of Emily singing when she was three and another of Jumpin’ Josh.

Fall has come and the trees are beautiful with their many colors. We are blessed with a backyard outlined in maple trees. Check out some some photos of our red maple leaves. The kids love the leaves, from making the big piles to jumping on the trampoline. More kids fun photos can be seen on […]
