Mini Photo Session

I have been wanting to get some pictures taken of my kids, and so this past week, I got that accomplished.  Here are a few I want to share...

The kids and I both had fun shooting the pictures, and enjoying the beautiful gardens. 

Happy 60th Anniversary!

July 27, my grandparents celebrated 60 years of marriage.  The following weekend, most of the family was able to help them celebrate.  What an awesome witness to God's love and faithfulness to witness 4 generations of family in one place.

There was a bouncy house for entertainment for the kids.  Even Uncle Milt had fun in it.

The Chocolate Diaries - Book Review

The Chocolate Diaries - Secrets for a Sweeter Journey on the Rocky Road of Life.
I enjoyed reading this faith-based, positive and uplifting book.  Karen Scalf Linamen takes personal experiences and compiles them in to 15 stories of women's journeys through life - the good and the bad.  I enjoyed how the author compares these trials and events in life to chocolate.  The book also includes recipes for some sweet treats.  This book is like sitting down with a girlfriend for a cup of coffee.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
