July 30, 2019 First Sweet Potato (and Fit!) Thea is five months old. She is fascinated with everything. If it moves, she giggles at it and wants to chase it. If it makes a sound, she wants to chase it. If it is in the possession of an older sibling, [...]
July 6, 2019 Fireworks and Family We have only missed one “Fireworks Over the Matanzas” in all of Christina’s 15 years. We were at Wild Adventures park in Valdosta and Christina wasn’t even one year old. Every year we go downtown. Louis monitors the weather so we’ve avoided being soaked [...]
June 17, 2019 Fatherhood So, you know this huge thing called “Fatherhood?” What comes to mind? A parenting book I read when I was twelve (yes, oldest sibling perks!) said something like “the child’s view of God as a Father is directly impacted by their experience with their Earthly Father.” [...]

Come join us for fun!! [...]
April 23, 2019 Waffle Blocks Well, we have this thing in our house where we give away everything we aren’t using. This goes for toys too. We don’t keep more than we actually use. We find toy drives, needy families, or other causes to give away the overage. I have [...]
March 28, 2019 Movie Thoughts: Knowing The other night we had a movie night. This had to be something mostly family friendly because everyone was awake. Yes, even Thea was awake, but I’m sure she wasn’t paying attention to the movie just yet. See, maybe because I’m old, or a [...]
March 24, 2019 Spring Blessings March 20th was the official first day of spring. I live in Florida, so “Spring” as we see it means beach weather – at least for those of us who don’t consider 70 degrees too cold for sand, surf, and sun. The flower bulbs are [...]
