Another six months have passed since I’ve blogged and it’s taken me all day to sort through and upload pictures for this update. As time consuming as this is, I’m constantly reminded about how important it is to capture and document these moments. These are the moments we’ll think back on in the future, things … Continue reading Live Life With Intention

Hopefully we find a solution soon, so I can blog more frequently without all the frustration. Enough ranting. Lets talk about the first quarter of the year. … Continue reading Trying New Things
The family’s first trip of the new year (other than driving back from CO) was a spontaneous visit to Chicago, just a four hour drive north from home.
