Last Day for Carolyn’s Kids
Yesterday was the last day of kindergarten for Carolyn’s kids. It was her fourth class, and a great one it was! She has to go back for a couple days next week before she’ll be finished, and then… summer! Continue reading

Parents All Over the Place
This past weekend was fun but went by in a blur. My parents finally made it to our house after driving five hours through heavy rain. When they finally got here, we stopped by the Training Station so they could meet the teachers there and some of the kids, then we went to Carolyn’s classroom. Continue reading

The Coolest Kid
Yesterday I tried to mess with my three-year-old nephew’s head by calling him to wish him a happy Mother’s Day. It didn’t even faze him. When I said, “Happy Mother’s Day!” he just said it back to me, as if I’d said, “Good morning.” The kid’s a trip. It was the first time we actually Continue reading

Hey, Old People Like Cake Too!
This past weekend Carolyn and I went to Pennsylvania and stayed with Kristen & Michael. Both of them greatly enjoy the fact that I’m three years older than them, so I’m really excited that they have now entered the 30 club. Unfortunately my birthday falls close enough to theirs to enable them each year to Continue reading

Reading the Bible with My Wife
Last night Carolyn and I completed our journey through the NIV One Year Chronological Bible (except in our case it turned out to be the One-and-a-Half Year Chronological Bible). This Bible contains the complete text of the NIV, but it arranges events chronologically. Much of the Bible does not go in order like a timeline. Continue reading

Carolyn’s Half-Birthday
Today is a very special day: It’s Carolyn’s half-birthday, and that only rolls around once every four years. She only has one half-birthday for every presidential term and Olympic Games. Happy half-birthday, Carolyn! Continue reading

Stuff from the Past Few Days
Haven’t blogged much lately. Here’s what’s been going on: Carolyn was away last week for three days and two nights. She attended a conference in Towson with the other kindergarten teachers, and really enjoyed it. She said the conference was informative, interesting, and beneficial, but what she talked about most was the food. They ate Continue reading

A recap of this fun and busy weekend: On Friday we went to Oxford, Pennsylvania to spend the night at Michael & Kristen’s house (Carolyn’s sister & her husband). We hung out with them for awhile that night and ate some totally delicious cake that Kristen had made. On Saturday we went to Sight & Continue reading
