August Trip #7: Around the House/Family

This is going to be the last August Trip post in the series. Whew! What a ride. (you guys are probably relieved!) Can you believe that we took almost 400 pictures during that two week period? This has to be some sort of feat, sorting through all those and organizing them into condensed/blog form all [...]

August Trip #6: Family Outing

It was a place we’d been to years ago (like, 12!), a historic mountain lodge nestled in the hills surrounded by beautiful grounds and trails. We had always said we would go back soon, probably every year! but plans change, and in life God sends things things your way that you don’t always expect. But [...]

August Trip #5: More Fun With Friends

That title pretty much sums up what this post is all about – fun with friends! We are a blessed family indeed. This batch of pictures is from a short afternoon we spent with the “B” family. We used to co-op, camp, and go to church together – it was so good to see them [...]

August Trip #4: Pretty Girls

And matching too! These long skirts (along with some other bargain purchases) are the results of our girls shopping trip we had! I love this pose. This was our attempt at a silly picture. (it’s tradition!) Three pretty girls! It was at this point that we realized Nikki was tall enough for us to make [...]

August Trip #2: Gabi’s House

Okay. So we were in NY, enjoying the baby and family, and then our week began to fill up! We have a lot of friends in that area, and wanted to see as many as we could. Our first stop was to Gabi’s house to visit with her and her family. Before we moved here [...]

August Trip #1: The New Baby

Yes, I’m an Auntie again! Our main reason for going to NY was so that Mom could deliver my sister’s 8th baby. Mom, an experienced nurse and midwife, and has delivered four of Sharon’s children! Ever since we’d heard the good news nine months ago it’s been decided between our two families that, even though [...]

I’m Back!

Whew! I’ve just returned from a two-week trip up north with Mom, Angie and Nate – We had a blast of a time, but are glad to be back. We were kept quite busy visiting with family and friends, delivering babies (go Mom!), driving by our old home… ah! Don’t worry, pictures and stories of [...]

Simple Things

Life is full of… . ..adventure… …birthday presents and birthday wishes… …delicious garden bounty… …smiling faces. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, don’t forget to look for and enjoy the simple things of life. -Kasie
