As mentioned in a previous post, I’ve been practicing photography with our digital camera, to produce better (at least decent looking) pictures, and so all don’t have to put up with my commonly blurry, grainy ones. Well folks, I’m happy to say I’ve been true to my word, and have faithfully been grasping many opportunities [...]

A bundle of hair, bows, clippies, a ton of hair bands and barrettes in the hands of a four-year-old girl and you get… THIS! A kid’s way of thinking (or at least Julia’s): the more the better! She insisted on doing Katrina’s hair also: I’ve never worn so many barrettes and bows in my life! [...]

It is tradition among the Willi (and their extended family) to officially declare the day after Thanksgiving as “Game Day”. It is a day dedicated to, well, playing games! This year the games came in all shapes and sizes – cards, boards, charades, and even xbox. It is my opinion that Game Day should be [...]

It was late Saturday night when the Willi entered Virginia; and a few minutes later they were safe and sound at their future residence. One mini van burdened with canoes and bikes, one large moving truck hauling a trailer…a nine hour road trip = one, very tired family. “Welcome Home!” Karlyn greeted us at the [...]

(written Friday, November 16th) “Let us not say ‘goodbye,’ but as the French have it, ‘au revoir‘!” -Mr. Whickham to the Bennett family in Pride and Prejudice Not even a ‘goodbye’ or ‘au revoir‘ for that matter; I prefer ‘Until we meet again!” because I know in my heart that even though we’ll part for [...]

“All right Dad’s home! Hurry! Let’s load the canoes on the van!” An “early start” was later than expected, so we scrambled round trying to make up for lost time. All of us were bunched at the Kruse’s front door, causing quite a ruckus while donning various shoes and jackets appropriate for the weather. Weather? [...]

Only for the hardcore…… Actually, it reminded me of some super-fast square dances we’ve been in! As Dad always says, “Those Homeschoolers – they just don’t know how to have ANY fun!”.

Our trip to Massachusetts would have been incomplete without the glorious fellowship we enjoyed with the Thomas family. It was a pleasure to get to know the ones who “won the gold” from the Jamestown 400 treasure hunt. The Thomas’ generous hospitality was evident 4 months ago- just minutes after the award ceremony – when [...]

Saturday morning found us in the town of Plymouth, treading the ground of our forefathers, and freezing in the cold. But when does a mere chill stop the Willi? It actually made us move faster to stay warm, and get through the sights quicker! We boarded the Mayflower replica, wandered about the monuments on Cole’s [...]
