We had some family fun with friends from church this week in Northern Minnesota at a beatiful camp called “Pine Haven Christian Assembly.  Here are some photos of our time up at the lake… A BIG THANKS to all our new friends from Pine Haven for helping us have a great week!

I have great respect for my parents.  Every time I’ve observed them undertake a new challenge or a transition in life they have always put great thought into how they should proceed.  Now that my Dad has been retired for a bit he sent me ten tips for making every penny count in retirement.  It’s [...]

Every so often I have a conversation with my Dad that makes me think about my life and lessons I’m currently learning.  During our morning coffee out by the pool he asked me what this time off has been teaching me.  It took me a moment to answer but here is what I came up with, [...]

  It took us a full two days but we made it to Florida!  Unbelievable with two toddlers.  The boys were so good through the whole trip.  We kept their bellies full with McD’s and The Cracker Barrel and that seemed to keep them pretty happy.  The postcard at the top of the post is an old [...]

After a great week with some of Shelli’s family we will be heading on a road trip!  I am sure it will be quite an interesting time for us, as this will be the first one of its kind for our kids.  Bringing two toddlers in the car to Florida will be quite the experience… [...]

We take a nice vacation as a family every two years. It takes us some time to save up, but it is so worth it. I think Disney found out that each year we set up a day we call Commando Day as a family where we strategically attack the parks from sunrise to sunset. [...]

We had a little bit of snow this weekend. The weather teams on TV were calling for serious snow, mad chaos, and the end of the world (practically), but it ended up being almost nothing. However, the driveway still needed to be cleared so I bundled up and headed outside with the boys for some [...]

Our Christmas Eve services were great last night. One of our leaders in the church pulled a few of us aside after the first service and said, “Don’t change a thing! I brought a friend with me and it was her first time at CCV. She didn’t know what to expect and she loved it [...]

This morning I got a late start to my day and had to rush out of the house to get Michael to preschool on time. So while I went out to the car to scrape the frost off the windshield and pull the car up to the house, Shelli was getting Michael’s coat and hat [...]
