Ben Is Eleven!

Hard to believe it's already that time again.  Another birthday for Ben.  The Big 11.

Ellie's Two-Year Anniversary

We celebrated Ellie's 2nd year with us by enjoying a day at the park, dinner out and finally, a celebration at home.  She is a joy and constant reminder of God's grace, mercy and goodness to us.

A Day At The Beach

Our favorite time to go to Galveston is March/April (before the heat) and September/October (after the heat).  We enjoyed a great day in the 70s under clear skies and a nice breeze.  The water was still quite cool!

Kitchen Remodel Begins.

I suppose I'm committed now.  I was hesitant at first.  But ripping off tiles and destroying sheet rock has a way of getting things rolling.  No turning back now.  No second guessing. 

First up, counter tops and cabinet painting.  This alone could take weeks, but let's give it a go. 


It would help, of course, if I had a clue of what I was doing.  Nevertheless, I press on into the unknown.  With the help of Google, YouTube and a few knowledgeable friends, I have hope that somehow the results will be positive.

Stay tuned.

The Big Five-Oh.

It was a terrific surprise evening of food, fun and fellowship.  Thank you to my lovely bride, who pulled it all off without so much as a suspicion on my part.

Ellie Loves Butterflies.

Ellie loves spending time in our backyard watching the butterflies.  I think the butterflies like watching Ellie, too.
