It seems weird to label one particular year a “year of blessing” because quite honestly we have been blessed again and again undeservedly, even in seasons of felt difficulty and trial. But this year felt exceptionally unique in its blessedness! 2014 began with a trip to Florida to be with family and ended with […]
Vacation
You Never Know What Drinking Might Lead To…

So We’re Moving? Again?
Three and a half years ago we shared with the world that we were moving from Alaska to Michigan in the post So We’re Moving? Well, it’s time to share the news again! We are moving to Durango, Colorado! Just four months ago this was not even on our radar but it’s amazing how quickly things change! […]

Grami Tami and Papa Ray arrived in St. Joe… they literally sneaked in the back door! And the fun, squealing, snuggling, apple picking, and playing […]
10 Days Is Too Short!
We recently had our sister, Tera, and her two precious girls (Sadie and Ruby) with us for 10 days ~ which we have concluded is NOT long enough! We crammed in almost every possible activity, making the most of every moment together and had an absolute blast together. Lets get on with the pictures and […]
Oahu Days 1 & 2
Well it’s the end of day number two and we are having a blast! Yesterday was pretty laid back and we just spent a couple hours at the beach playing. Today was a little more adventureous. Most of the day is documented by the attached pictures. Really the only thing missing is pictures of me […]
Off to Hawaii
Well it’s a little last minute but we decided to take a trip to Hawaii! All the details worked out perfectly and were on the airplane. Nya is so excited to spend time on the beach. More pics to come…
