These last 7 months serving in the Young Women program at church has been amazing! Our weekly mutual nights have been a great night to learn – I’m learning just as much as the girls and I’m loving it! Last week we had a make-up and hair night. One of our girls is in beauty [...]

This was the weekend for catching up with family and friends, apparently. One of my friends from high school days long ago was in England for work. His family currently lives in Germany so they drove out to join him and tour parts of England. Steve got in touch with me saying they were coming [...]

When we heard Chris’s Uncle Rick would be in Oxford for a work conference, we made sure we could go up to see him. Caleb missed out as he was at gymnastics, but the rest of us had a great afternoon touring parts of Oxford. We had traditional English weather and sported our wellies. We [...]
If it isn’t gymnastics, we’re busy with ballet. Thankfully, the girls are able to take ballet at the same gym Caleb attends. Both Cami and Hannah love it so much that they are in two classes each a week. Hannah still can’t get enough of it so she goes into Cami’s classes and volunteers as [...]

The main reason for my parents’ visit was for Hannah’s baptism on January 8th, exactly one month after her 8th birthday. We were so lucky to have Chris’s parents come out for the event as well! We really have been so lucky to have both our parents attend all three kids’ baptisms so far, no [...]

We had a great kick-off to our New Year by having my parents arrive from St. Louis on New Year’s Day. We gave them a little more than 24 hours to regroup and we were off on an English adventure to visit our English relatives in Devon. This was high on Dad’s priority list so [...]
