Bump!

Liam bonked his eye really bad! He fell off a chair in the bathroom. But he's a trooper and a survivor.


Liam passes the swim test!

Liam and Skyler took swim lessons this week at CAC. They closed the pool on Wed, so the rest of the lessons were at JHS. On the last day Liam said he could pass the swim test... and he was right! So proud of my boy. ...oh and Skyler had a blast too! She loves the water and is more confident…


Young Falcon goes to bible camp with Grandma Stephie

Liam had the best week ever with his grandma at bible camp. Grandma Stephie came into town and took Liam to camp each day. Liam was given the name "Young Falcon". He made crafts, sang songs, learned about God's love and played with the other kids (non he knew before). We played the music CD they…

Leif and I were sitting down in his office on Friday both in desperate need of sun.  We were passing ideas back and forth - where could we go that wouldn't break the bank but would provide guaranteed sunshine.  Our ideas ranged from camping in Leavenworth to boarding…


Skyler turns 3!

What a fun party - 6 little girls sitting out in the sun and playing with the endless activities contained in their little princess buckets (courtesy of grandma Nancy thank goodness!).  They were all so cute and Skyler was SO excited to have a little mermaid party with her…


What's the problem?

Tonight Skyler was trying to show Leif a picture that she drew as Leif was in the middle of making dinner,  answering emails, and trying to have a conversation with me.  He is usually so good at the endless demands for attention that the kids throw at him after a long work day however,…
