The last two days have been packed with the pitter patter of little feet, lots of laughter, a few episodes of tattling and whining, hot chocolate, cold cheeks, snowmen, and cuddling together at night watching movies! Our town is shut down because of four inches of snow and accompanying ice, but what shuts down a … Continue reading Loving the snow

It’ll take longer but it’s worth it
Sherri and I regularly ask parents who have great children to share with us their "I wish I would have..." and "I'm glad I did..." thoughts and practices. Almost without exception the regrets and satisfactions revolve around time spent with their children. Several years ago I read something from John Maxwell that went something like … Continue reading It’ll take longer but it’s worth it
All of my ladies!
3 Ladies at School
This morning was the first day of school for the ladies. This morning I took three ladies to school. I can't believe how quick they are growing up! 2007 - Lexington goes to school. 2008 - Reagan goes to school. 2009 - Lexington and Reagan go to school. Reflecting on these moments and pictures makes … Continue reading 3 Ladies at School
Last day of vacation 2010
In a few hours we will be leaving the beach. This is the same beach that Sherri and I came to on our honeymoon. With a few exceptions we have returned to this beach every year since then. Yesterday as we took a family walk down the beach Sherri and I agreed that because we … Continue reading Last day of vacation 2010
Vacation – adventure at the aquarium
Vacation thus far has been terrific! Yesterday we took some much needed time away from the beach and went to the local aquarium. All in all it was a pretty fun experience but there were a few tense moments, like for instance when we all were feeling pretty crabby... And then of course there was … Continue reading Vacation – adventure at the aquarium
A truckload of ladies
A few weeks ago "The Ladies" had two of their friends over. If you're counting, that's a total of SEVEN little girls! We took them out for ice cream, went to the park, and finally wrapped up the day at our house. Multiple times throughout the afternoon Sherri and I looked at each other and … Continue reading A truckload of ladies
A date with six ladies
Every Thursday night is "Date Night" for Sherri and me. We have 4 hours of time in which all children are left behind (except baby Karis). It's wonderful and breathes life into our marriage! It is literally my favorite meeting of the week. Last night our babysitter was sick so we called an audible and … Continue reading A date with six ladies
Jesus in my living room
Yesterday "The Ladies" were playing "Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus." They were dressed up in "middle-eastern" garb (aka blankets over their head) and had a small manger complete with "Baby Jesus" sitting right in the middle of our living room. When I came home, I was invited to play the role of the witch who … Continue reading Jesus in my living room
ALL the ladies… and me
This is the delivery team! I was allowed to deliver Karis! Put on the gloves... pull out the child! This is the second child I've delivered (Lexington was the first). I may actually look to subsidize our income by delivering infants on the side.
