Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we spent some time on the beach playing and then headed to the outlet mall to get some comfortable shoes for Rosi.  Then it was time for swimming and playing at the beach.  For Lunch we headed to King Neptune. 







It was fun for the boys to play in the water with Uncle John.  He took them out into the waves.  I enjoyed sitting with my feet in the warm sand.  It was a beautiful 70 degrees out!

The Little Robin

Image
Working from home has brought me the opportunity to increase my appreciation of my home and nature around. Every year a pair of robins tries to build a nest above my front door. Normally we keep cleaning it off and work hard to keep that nest from forming above the door, but this year I decided to let them construct their nursery. Everyone was excited when four little blue eggs were added to the nest and we all watched eagerly, waiting daily for the eggs to hatch. Then one day, we saw one of the robins bending down and sure enough, four little birds were in the nest. They were so small that their beaks did not even reach the top of the nest when they opened their mouth for their parents to feed them. Day by day they grew until we looked yesterday, and it almost looked like four grown robins in the nest. They started bantering for spots and occasionally moved (or were pushed) out on to the window ledge. It seemed like overnight the birds had grown from helpless to ready to leave. ...

Blessed

Every blessing You pour out  I'll turn back to praise When the darkness closes in, Lord Still I will say Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be Your name Blessed be the name of the Lord Blessed be Your glorious name Tonight was one of those nights that the words I sang hit me.  I have to admit that sometimes I sing a song mindlessly.  Just as I sing the song mindlessly, I sometimes live my life mindlessly.  Forgetting that every blessing is from God, I often forget to turn back and praise.  In the times of darkness I forget to praise and most of all I forget to turn to God. I am so thankful for an opportunity to spend the next three days with my family in an environment where we can grow together in our faith, while having fun.  It is such a blessing to see the difference in our boy's lives just in the three years we have been coming to camp. It is fun to watch Josh get excited to request a song and then jump up to do the motions.  Ryan has taken t...

Spring Break 2012 - The Trip Out East

Image
With a last minute opportunity to have a time-share at a very reasonable price, it was decided that our stay at home Spring Break plans were going to change.   We moved up our plans to see the Washington DC area and scheduled a trip.   Our journey began on March 23 rd from Green Bay, WI with a goal to make it as far as we could.   We made good time despite the torrential down pours.   Our first day covered Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio.   We made it to the end of Ohio and decided to stop for the night.   The boys spent an hour in the swimming pool which is a great way for them to unwind.   It was amazing how one year of maturity had changed our trip and made it much more enjoyable for everyone. On the second day we continued on our trek, following our faithful GPS.   I was watching the map as we went and thought that I had figured out the way that the GPS was going to take us.   We went through a rainy Pennsylvania and then int...
