You Go Girl!

Madison has decided that she can ride a bike without training wheels, and anyone that knows her understands that when she finally decides to do something it is a good as done.

Bike Riding

Noah has graduated to Nathan's two wheeler (with training wheels). He does have a helmet now, but wasn't wearing it in this video. What happen to the good old days of riding bikes without helmets? Just kidding, we love safety.

Maple trees & sugar

Today we traveled north of Madison with some friends. We went to a Wildlife Conservatory to learn how sap is extracted from Maple trees and sugar is made. Go to our Flickr photo page and you'll be able to view a slideshow of our pictures. (When you see the slideshow, be sure to float your cursor over the picture and click on the "i" to read details about the pictures.)

Its all about love


I wish every time I found our children in this position they were being this loving...

Daddy Love



Benjamin loves his daddy. Every day when Mitch comes home Benjamin is the first to greet him. No matter where he is playing he will drop what he is doing and head straight for Mitch as fast as he can crawl. When he gets to Mitch's feet he says "DA DA", stands up and waits for Mitch to pick him up. I have to get it on video it is priceless...

Celebrating Spring!






"I will Celebrate, sing unto the Lord, sing to the Lord a new song" I just feel like praising God today for a sun shiny 50 degree day. I know, I know, that doesn't sound so warm, but its almost 60 degrees warmer than we were a month ago so we are rejoicing!

Nature in the City




Sometimes you would think that we live on a farm. We have observed all types of critters in our back yard, bunnies, an opossum, cats with kittens (we think), chipmunks. Yesterday we had ducks even though our house is no where near a pond. We thank God for these opportunities to observe nature...
