Lego Prize
Posted in Tommy on Jul 2nd, 2012
Yesterday Tommy completed preschool Bible by reciting all of Mark chapter one to Daddy! (We got it on video and will try to upload it to youtube soon.) We’ve been trying to think of a fun prize for him when he completes an entire chapter of the Bible, and for this reward, he got to […]
The Zoo With Laura!
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Susanna, Tommy on Jun 27th, 2012
When Laura told me she’d be meeting her sister and nephew in Santa Barbara to visit family this week, we immediately planned a zoo trip. Baby Enoch is just a month younger than Susie, and the kids had a great time playing with each other–and with Laura!
Yesterday afternoon, I told Tommy to go play with Susie in the backyard…and looked out to see that he was conscientiously doing just that!
See? I’m catching up on road trip pictures! So we may have taken the southern route home just to have dinner at Oregano’s in Flagstaff. (Oh yeah, and the girls’ tummies didn’t handle Nevada and Utah very well, either.)
Sometimes things are so cheesy that you just have to embrace the cheese. So when we were in Hillsdale last month, we did the liberty walk.

While at Hillsdale, we took advantage of the college bookstore to properly outfit everyone. The kids insisted that they all wanted to wear their Hillsdale shirts together!
Fun times in Colorado
Posted in Elizabeth, Friends, Susanna, Tommy on Jun 6th, 2012
Our last major stop on the roadtrip was in Denver (to see Uncle Matthew) and Colorado Springs (to see the Franciscos). Elizabeth and I got to attend Geneva’s ballet recital on Saturday, and Elizabeth is still talking about it nonstop, dancing around the house for hours with a picture of Geneva in hand for inspiration.
