Fishing is really not one of our family past times. It’s not that we’ve never fished, but we’ve most certainly never done it well. With the exceptions of a few trips to Canada, a few outings where someone else actually set the entire pole up for us – cast it out – and then told…
I’m thankful that we finally got some snow this winter. We were able to go out today and do some sledding!
Last year we bought Spencer a BB Gun (Red Ryder to be exact). We had been using a board with three two liters screwed to it so that they couldn’t fall over. This worked, theoretically, but Spencer didn’t necessarily know if or where he hit one of the bottles or which bottle he had hit. …
It’s a dangerous thing to get on your hands and knees in our house. Let’s be honest . . . the easiest way to get off the couch when you have been laying on it is to simply roll off. You then find yourself lying on the floor and have the need to get up. …
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…

Is that what you are talking about?” Spencer: “Yea!” Linda: “Well, you thank Jesus for dying on the cross for your sins . . .” Spencer: (interrupting…
Last week we realized the need for our three pretty little boys to look a bit more like boys than girls. All three of them had beautiful curls wisping over their ears. The cost of a haircut really limits our ability to have the boys get their haircuts at a barber or for them a…
