Pine Cove Woods Family Camp – 2011
We got back from our trip to the Pine Cove Family Camp in Tyler, Texas. We were Week 6 at the Woods camp over the Fourth of July. It was a great trip, but I will say we are bit worn out from it after we got back. I think spiritually refreshed, and we had [...]
Soccer in Bellevue
Jacob and I finished our first year in the local soccer recreational league, HYSA. Previously, we have always done YMCA soccer, but we enjoyed this season, although it got off to a rough start. Most notably, Jacob broke his arm which limited his playing and practicing. The raining Spring also limited us to just a [...]
My Most Popular Post
Since August of last year, I have made 5 posts on my blog. For those who struggle with math or calendaring, that almost 1 post ever 2 months. You can take that one of two ways. One, my life is exceptionally dull therefore I have nothing about which to write. Or two, my life is [...]
Jacob’s Dirt Pile
It may be puzzling to women, but any man can totally get this. The undeveloped lot next to us contains a dirt pile and some pallets left over from building our house. The only thing puzzling to me is why it took Jacob so long to discover this oasis of childhood joy – you very [...]
My tough big boy
Likely an inevitable event given my son, Jacob broke his right arm two weeks ago. Here is Shannon interviewing him about it. He wound up having it on for less than 2 weeks. While the elbow is still broken, we are treating it with a wrapped bandage to protect it but allow mobility to prevent [...]
Elvis Rumored Seen in Nashville Honkey Tonk!
And in related news, we have confirmed reports that Kyle Meadors is actually alive despite months of inactivity both in his blog and his social life. After several unconfirmed rumors of his activity in random parts of the Bellevue area of Nashville, we were able to obtain documented proof of his existence today at the [...]
Sleepy Jedi Princess Ranger
We have bin in the playroom for our dress up outfits, and Ava loves to raid it. What is hilarious is that she dresses herself in a variety of garb. This morning, still in her pajamas, she designed this.
Jacob’s Big Month
Not only did my big boy turn 6 this month but he started kindergarten. So far, so good with the Big K. I think his favorite part is riding the bus. I am happy for him. Starting your formal schooling is a rite of passage and being educated is a blessing. Enjoy the pictures from [...]
My Car is Old
My 2000 Toyota Corrola is old. How old. Some years back the steering wheel grip began falling off, the smooth rubber covering deteriating. For a birthday gift, Shannon bought me a new steering wheel cover (she did get me other birthday gifts besides that). I used the cover but eventually that top of the cover, [...]
My Regular 6-Week Post
Since I am averaging a post every 6 weeks or so, I am obligated to write something here. Nothing much has gone on. Just bought a house. Like to see it? If I could find my camera after the move, I would take some pictures and show you. Shannon may have it, but since she [...]
