Quick Family Trip
Trevor had to take a trip to Nashville, TN for work one day in mid-June, so he decided to take the family and make a day of it. We got to visit the Parthenon, an amazing restaurant called “Biscuit Love” and a cute little Donuts Shop called “Five Daughters Bakery” while we were there. We…

Home Repair Part Three
Here are some more updates on our backyard/patio. It’s been a slow process, but we are getting there. We removed the “benches” that were attached to our upper deck. With the big ugly trees by the deck now gone, you can see just how “unsafe” our railings were. Pulling up the old boards on our…

Home Repair Part Two
We are still working away on our Home Projects. Since Trevor is still working from home and probably will be for at least another month, I wanted to make some more room for him in the family room. His desk as just been in the middle of the floor and it had to be moved…

Mother’s Day and Birthdays
Mother’s Day was our first day back to church since the shut down of everything. We still can’t have full attendance yet but we have been able to have about half. So the first week back we had those whose last names begin with A-H to come and the next week I-Z. It was so…

“For the First Time in Forever….”
So I came up with this song on a whim this morning and had a nice laugh. If I could sing, I’d probably put it on youtube with all the rest of the quarantine songs out there. If you’ve never seen the movie, “Frozen” or aren’t familiar with this song/tune, you may not appreciate it…

Home Repairs
Some of the things we’ve been doing while in “quarantine”. We’ve started taking apart the back deck. The pool broke last summer and we never got it repaired. So this year we asked the kids if they wanted a new pool and deck or if they wanted a nice family vacation. They chose the vacation.…

Easter
Easter was a bit different this year. With the corona virus messing up normal life for the past month–schools, stores, churches, etc. being forced to close, stream online only or limit those in attendance, we’ve had to stay home a lot more than normal. Trevor is working from home, Zion is back to doing “homeschool”…

Good Time and Great Friends
A couple of weeks ago, Glorianna got to spend the day with some friends. They had a great time of crafting, playing games and hanging out. She was super excited about the girls day out. ———————————– Last weekend the kids and I went to the Creation Museum with some friends. We hadn’t been in a…

Ohio Youth Banquet
This past weekend Trevor and I, along with 3 other chaperones, took 25 of our church youth up to Bluffton, Ohio for a youth banquet. We had two 15 passenger vans packed full. It was fun tho and the kids really enjoyed themselves and got to meet some other believers their age. We met in…

This and That
ok…let’s see….what’s been going on in the month of January? It’s crazy to think of how busy 2020 has already been. The second week of January we headed up to Sandusky, Ohio for a work event for Trevor. Zion was not able to go with us, he had to go to Arizona for work. This…
