In addition to our firstborn son, my wife and I have not one, not two, but three beautiful little princesses. Needless to say, we consider ourselves quite blessed. Sure, some might disagree with that assessment, depending on their view of society’s very outdated, arcane, medieval, SEXIST policy of parents of girls paying for weddings (yeah I know – CRAZY isn’t it??). Personally, I believe that is one area (maybe the only one) where society needs to step into the 21st century. But I … [Read more...]
Making Memories
A happy childhood, remembered with fondness, is one of life’s greatest blessings. It is an anchor that will keep us grounded and secure in the knowledge that, despite the trials and tribulations that have and will come our way, the prism through which we saw life as a child is just a taste of, perhaps, what heaven will be like. Those of us who were blessed with happy childhoods don’t so much remember the bad times, but instead recall with nostalgia the wonder and awe with which we viewed the … [Read more...]

We love the Duggars! What awesome role models not only to parents with lots of kids, but all parents who want to raise their children right. We can’t imagine doing what they do, but then again we aren’t all called to raise 19 (or however many it is now) kids. For us, four was our number. For others, it might be something else. I will say this – our youngest is 18 months and there’s not a time that we hold her that we don’t get a little sad thinking that this will be the last time we hold … [Read more...]
Nostalgia from the Front Porch
Have you ever been nostalgic for a time and a place you have never been? In our move from the generic site at Wordpress.com to a self-hosted blog with Wordpress.org, we looked long and hard for a theme my wife and I both liked. We finally settled on this one for several reasons, not the least of which is the serene picture of an old front porch that reminded us both of The Waltons. We just love that show, especially the first several seasons. It’s an escape, a wonderful journey back to a time … [Read more...]
