Spooksville

The grim reaper and the indian terrorized the neighborhood together and came back with about five pounds of loot. The vampire stalked about with his mother.

Rocks my World

After mulling over last nights Awaking My Soul message at Willow Creek, I am left thinking about how Paul's letter in 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 goes so well with Jesus teachings in Matthew 22:37-40. Very powerful scripture that just rocks my world.

Weekend Trip

Peter & Erik went with their grandma & grandpa to Shangralia this weekend while Annie and I work on the bedroom closets.

Back to School

Peter (5th grade), Erik (3rd grade), and Kurt (2nd grade) all went back to North Barrington Elementary yesterday. After this year they won't all be in the same school again until high school!

Loving Life

I'm in love with Annie's smile and her soft kisses. I love Peter's enthusiasm and when he laughs from his belly. I love Erik's memory of life and the twinkle in his eye when he's excited. I love Kurt's love for people and his gentle spirit, and that he still reaches for my hand sometimes when we walk together.

Seaplane Rating

Popper and I got our seaplane ratings while vacationing in Grand Haven for the week. Mark Schmitt, an MD80 captain at American gave us the training in his Super Cub on Lake Bella Vista near Rockford, MI.

Campout with Kurt & Bruno

We spent 2-nights at the Bonanza campground in the Wisconsin Dells, and a day at the Mt Olympus waterpark. They loved the roller-coasters and the big wave pool. On the way back we spent the day at Devil's Lake, and took the car ferry across the Wisconsin river.
