The Evil Grin

There's a reason everybody here says she has an "evil grin!" She makes up for it in cuteness, though. The little guy beside her is nothing but sweet. (most of the time...)

Tall Grass Prairie

We saw a pretty horse, some beautiful quilts, and lots of gorgeous scenery. The wind was fierce, though!

Disney Fun, Part 1

We went to DisneyWorld a little bit earlier this year. It was less crowded than December, but not quite as festive. We stayed in the new Bay Lake Towers Resort at the Contemporary, and we loved having a view of Cinderella's castle from our rooms! Still, it was different. We've been staying at the Grand Floridian in December every year since Christopher was 3 years old. Now that we've bought into the Vacation Club, we'll stay there every other year and at the Bay Lake Towers in the "off" years. We stayed 7 nights in "the World" and then did a 3-night cruise on the Wonder. It was a great trip!

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Happy Halloween!

We were really lucky to have warm, dry weather this year. Lots of pumpkins, lots of candy, lots of fun. Just like always!

The Queen

Christopher: "Wow, Lex, you look fancy!"
Alexa: (in footed pajamas, a sequin Tinkerbell crown, and four flag football belts) "Yeah, that's because I'm Queen Esther!"

Happy Birthday, Nicholas!

You're such a little sweetie! I can't believe you're two already!

First Film Contest

Christopher and Gabrielle have been creating their own movies for a couple of years. A few weeks ago, they decided to enter The Flint Hills Film Festival.

We had a lot of fun making a three-minute film using at least four of eight required locations. Imagine our surprise when that film, Flint Hills Delights, won first place in the open division!

Happy Birthday, Christopher

Our sweet boy is 14! Daddy got out the sign from the hospital announcing your birth and put it on the mantle. For two and a half years, it was just the three of us. It's been so much fun watching you grow and pursue your interests. You have such a deep faith and real empathy for other people. You're funny and smart, and Lexi loves your Yoda impression! We're so proud of you!
