Day 3 had us pulling into Disney’s island, Castaway Cay, nice and early. The kids slept in, had some breakfast on our balcony, and then got ready for a beach day. We ran into Jack Sparrow as we were walking off the ship. He was 1,000% in character and cracking us up. Grace should’ve Read More

Day 2 had us eating breakfast while pulling into the port at Nassau. We had a port adventure that day to visit Atlantis. We were doing a dolphin encounter as well as enjoying all the water slides, so it was a full day. After finding our way through the maze that is the Read More

I want to live on a Disney cruise ship. That is all. Except dogs aren’t allowed on board, so there’s that. We did, however, take Scout to Florida with us, and my parents flew down to watch her while we were cruising. Kinda feels like they got the raw end of that deal, but they Read More

Favorite picture: Yesterday was Rare Disease Day. This girl and her rare disease serve as a constant reminder of God’s faithfulness to us. Her 7 years of life haven’t always been easy, and I know there will be more bumps along the way- but we’re so thankful for where she is right now. Favorite kid Read More

Our weekend was a good, full weekend. We had two events at the same time on Friday evening: The annual Father/Daughter dance at school, and ice skating/hockey at a rink we had rented with church friends.

Favorite picture: Nothing better than being their teacher for the day. This was right after she lost a tooth, which is my least favorite part of parenting. I actually send them to school with their tooth hanging by a thread, in the hopes that it will fall out at school and I won’t have to Read More

Favorite picture: Scout went to the groomer last week and got a major haircut (her fur was matted from the jacket she wears outside). She looked like a rat from the waist down, but thankfully her fluffy fur is starting to come back now. At least her head is still super cute. Favorite verse: “Therefore Read More

Valentine’s Day

We love Valentine’s Day. Claire looks like she’s still waking up, Max is already eating his candy, and the younger girls are just ready to start the day. Actually, they’re ready to see what’s in their gift bags. Grace’s box cracked me up this year. And Tessa, not surprisingly, chose a cat for the second Read More
