Work & Home

Recently I had a conference in Texas. I was fortunate enough to be able to take B with. I think she looks okay in our hotel room :)

 Then I got word that Chicago had gotten a lot of snow. Apparently the boys got out to enjoy it:

 When we got back home, we were greeted with a little man holding this sign out our mini-van window:

 And this one was handed to us as we loaded our luggage for the trip home:

We arrived home to find out that all of the trim in our house was finished. THANK YOU, AWESOME HUBBIE (& Papa!).

How blessed I am!

Minivan Express

In a take from the 'Polar Express' & an idea from Confessions of a Homeschooler, we dropped B at Nana & Papa's, loaded the minivan with hot cocoa and popcorn, turned up the Christmas music, and headed out to see the lights. TK thought it was the best thing when he found the golden ticket under his pillow (any time he gets out of going to bed, it's a good thing). He ran to the garage and had his ticket 'punched', and away we went.

Happy Father's Day!

What a privilege it is to know so many awesome fathers who love their kids so much. I am truly blessed to have 3 such men in my life:

My father: A man who stepped into a situation and showed true love when he didn't have to...I love you, dad...THANK YOU!

My father-in-law: A man who shows his love, regularly, through helping us in small and big ways, and regularly "checking in on us". We love you, Papa!

Lastly, but certainly not least-My husband: A man who desires to show God's love, daily, to our son and to be the best dad he possibly can. TK is so blessed to have you as his dad. I love you, Kris!

Following in Papa's Shoes

TK adores his Papa...Even down to his smelly shoes!
