Where do these little stinkers come up with the funniest things???
Tonight while Kip and the kids were playing Hide-n-Seek, Kip and H were hiding in the pantry where Gigi quickly finds them. However, Kip was holding the knob so she couldn’t open the door. She let go of the knob and looks under the door, quickly stands up and says R [...]

Spare, Strike and Gutterball
As you’ve read, we thought going on a date as a couple was difficult. This morning we spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out a fun family outing.

do thou with me as thou wilt.
Thou hast given me silence in my heart
in place of murmurings and complaints.
Keep my wishes from growing into willings,
my willings from becoming fault-finding
with thy providences,
and have mercy on me.

Girls Day
My daughter and I were granted a precious nugget of time together today. I can’t tell you for certain what it meant to her but if it meant to her what it meant to me, it was priceless.
Now that she is tuck [...]
