Let the Christmas Festivities Begin…
To start off our Christmas Festivities for the month of December, we went to IUS to watch the Christmas Pops Concert. Zion got to play cello in the orchastra. So fun. For anyone who follows me on Instagram, some of the videos are posted there. Still can’t figure out how to get videos onto the…

November
We never seem to slow down. We are always busy doing something. But life is good and the Lord has blessed us, so I’m not complaining. Here’s how November went… Outside our our normal, every day stuff…. I finally got a dishwasher. I’d been saving up for one for a couple of years, and Home…

September and October Updates
The week after Trevor and I got back from Italy, the kids and us were part of a wedding of two young people from our church. Azariah was a groomsman, Zion played piano and he and Glorianna sang. Trevor was the MC at the reception and I help with set up and decorations and such.…

Italy Part Six
Friday, September 23. Once again we enjoyed our slow pace in the morning, reading our Bibles together, drinking our coffee and eating our cereal for breakfast. The airb&b did not have any bowls, though, so we had to get creative. But it worked! Since this was our last day in Italy and we had the…

Italy Part Five

(Happy Dance) We could get up and drink our coffee at our own pace, read our Bibles together and take our time leaving for breakfast. Ahhhh…much better. There was something so satisfying about brewing my own cup of coffee. We still…

Italy Part Three
Tuesday, September 20. After another breakfast of croissants and coffee, we headed to our first destination of the day. The Bell Tower. We took an elevator to the top of this very tall building. Galileo was on the top of this tower and showed the Doge his telescope. That’s actually really cool to think about.…

Italy Part Two
Monday, September 19 We had our first “Italian breakfast”. This was much different than we expected. Coffee shops there do not have places to sit. It’s normal to just go in, order your croissant, your “shot” of coffee, eat it standing up at the counter, then pay and head out. It was good though. This…

Italy Trip Part 1
Trevor and I had an opportunity to go to Italy this month. He was asked to perform a wedding ceremony for a friend of ours and so I decided to go with him. I’ve never been overseas before and I was nervous and excited all at the same time. We left on Saturday, September 17…

Late July – Early August Updates
Trevor is recovering from his surgery very nicely. He had to be at home for 2 weeks. He couldn’t be in a car at all and pretty much spent the time reading and resting. When we went to the 2 week check up, the doctor said he was free to drive and return to work,…
