A Father's Love

What else can we say? All is right with the world!

Family Formal Dinner 2009

We started a family tradition several years ago that has become known as the Family Formal Dinner.


Everyone helps out with the set-up,

meal preparation and clean up.


Niki was in charge of organizing it this and did a great job!

Hugs and Heart Attacks

A couple of days ago we had a surprise visit from some dear friends, Kent and Sharon Bateman. It was so fun to spend a few moments with them.

As they were leaving, the doorbell rang, and Kent - always the one for fun - decided to answer it for us. We were all surprised, and I think Kent was a little disappointed, when there was no one there.




On closer inspection however, we realized that we had been given a 'heart attack'. Our front lawn was covered in hand-decorated paper hearts and there were more hearts on the doorstep, along with yummy cookies.

What a treat! We feel so loved!

Slide and Drop








Resistance is Futile!






The Pin!!!


You'll notice that life pretty much goes on without disruption while we witness this display of brotherly love. These boys bring lots of energy with them - and I love it...most of the time :-)
