Last summer Jackson’s mom asked if Nathan was interested in playing soccer. Of course, Nathan said yes if it involved doing anything with his little buddy, Jackson. These two have been building their friendship for about three years now. Even though we had attended the same church for years, I …

I’ve been thinking about my fellow blogging friend, Dorothy – from YOU DID WHAT?, and her family all day. Tonight they are putting on a Life-Songs concert in England which has drawn quite a bit of criticism and opposition toward them from the local churches. I’m so proud of them …

We came upon this stone wall while in Canada a few weeks ago. I took this picture for my blogging friend Dorothy at YOU DID WHAT since she has a thing for walls. Dorothy, hope you enjoy the picture and knowing that our entire family was thinking of you when …

While Amanda and some of her friends were enjoying the Celebrate Freedom festival at the park, other friends of hers (including Andrew pictured above) were out enjoying an evening of longboarding. Described as “surfing on concrete,” longboarding has become very popular with the young adventuresome population in the last few …

We had a nice slow weekend!! It’s nice to have one of those once in awhile. We managed to finish most of our school work even with a stressful day on Tuesday when we didn’t get as much done as we should have since we were all recuperating from Nathan …
