Natasha asked me to plant three new hydrangea’s (plants) outside of our office this week. So I grabbed a shovel and a pick and went to work. As I was digging with the pick, we heard an odd sound – like a breaking noise. And then, like Old Faithful, water began spewing at a rapid [...]

I liked this picture so much, I decided to give you another picture of the week – at no extra charge! This is from when we played on the moon bounce last Sunday after church. Today, I probably had 30 kids ask if we were getting the moon bounce out again! Be sure to click [...]

Natasha and I noticed this (which is painted on the side of a building) on the way to pick up our friend Ashley. We were very tempted to stop for a Banana Splip. If we were still hungry after our Banana Splip, we could go down the street to the Taco and Waffle restaurant (seriously)!

Yesterday was my birthday so we decided to make it our day off this week. In 2009, you can get into any Disney park in the world for free on your birthday (click HERE for more information)! How can you pass that up when you live a few hours away?! So we drove up to [...]

Last Sunday, Natasha and I participated in our first international half marathon! We’ve run half marathons together for the last 8 years but never one out of the country. We were a little nervous that it wouldn’t be very well organized but we were pleasantly surprised before, during, and after the race. There were around 800 runners [...]
