Molly and I have been doing a lot of art stuff together lately. Of course the boys don’t seem to deem anything “art” unless it is the drawing or painting of a real person or something in nature (ie. an animal or some majestic mountain scene). We’ve landed more on different types of art such…
Molly has her golden birthday this year–she will be 8 years old on April 8th. For several months we have been talking about having a special birthday party for her. After our trip to the American Girl Place in Chicago while we were there for Mom’s birthday, we knew that Molly would love to visit…
Loving Jesus is important in our home. It is not abnormal to hear in our home, “I love Jesus the most!” I will often tell the kids, “I love you alot, but I love mommy the most. She’s my favorite, favorite, favorite and you’re just my favorite favorite.” I understand that it sounds somewhat cheesy,…
It is a real treat for us to go over to some of our friends and go swimming in their in ground pool. It is a beautiful setting with a nice patio and pool side tables. The kids were pretty fearful last year when we went over their. Molly was the only one who really…
Last week we received in the mail a verse workbook for each of the kids. Grandma thought it would be a good idea to give each of the kids (all the nephews and nieces) a verse workbook to work on throughout the summer. We received ours last…
Last Thursday evening, we all went to Molly’s kindergarten graduation. Just a side note . . . what is the point?

I remember by the time I graduated from college and seminary, my excitement about graduation had decreased significantly. I have…
Molly has always enjoyed writing on paper. I recall before we moved to Wisconsin in 2003 (Molly was still 1) she was already constantly writing on any paper she could find. I recall, it seemed that the rule was, if there was a line or any writing on the piece she needed a new…
The snow fall for the last day or so must have been around 6-8 inches. I was somewhat looking forward to snow blowing the driveway, but we noticed that one of our friends came along and plowed it for us this morning. I was alright with that as well. This evening we went out and…
Here are three slide shows for you to enjoy. There were too many pictures to post individually. Personally I probably wouldn’t take the time to sit and wait through all three, but have at it. Sorry mom, if you can’t see these. The three consists of the twins birthday, Spencer’s birthday and the bikes we bought the kids…
Linda was determined to make a snowman with Molly and Spencer as soon as the boys went down for their naps. She was wanting to make one snow man but as the event went on, Molly and Spencer convinced her to make a family. The buttons and smiles wouldn’t stay on so Linda went in…
