I Will Be Here
Twenty-two years ago we had the song "I Will Be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman sung at our wedding, and I still choke up every time I hear it. I am certainly blessed to be celebrating twenty-two years of marriage with this amazing guy. Happy anniversary, my love!

Father's Day Smiles
Happy Father's Day to the guy who makes us laugh, takes us on adventures, tells the best stories, makes up silly songs, demonstrates how to love unconditionally and lives out his faith daily. We love you!

Celebrating Summer
We celebrated our first official day of summer vacation with ice cream treats and a visit to Epic to swing on the porch swing and see the sheep. We loved this wide porch on the Farm Campus so much, we decided we might just come back with books and games and spend an afternoon on the farm.

A Socially Distant Birthday
This is certainly a birthday that Enavi will remember, as it was unlike any she's experienced so far. We may not have been able to leave the house for birthday fun, but there were so many special moments. One of the highlights for Enavi was a surprise visit by several of her friends. They brought signs and flowers, performed a birthday chant they had made up just for Enavi, and even stayed long enough to play a few rounds of socially-distant charades! It was such a treat to see them all, and what a special gift for the birthday girl.

Easter Rain
The rainy afternoon didn't dampen our Easter praise. Happy Easter! He is Risen!

Icing on the Cake
Our Easter will look very different this year, but we will still have all of the important things. We will worship our risen Lord and Savior, we will sing songs of praise, we will read scripture and rejoice, we will spend time together, we will have Easter baskets, we will have candy, we will eat too much cheesy potatoes, and we will have cake.

Good Friday
Today we celebrated Good Friday, even if it wasn't quite the way we had planned. We watched our church service online and participated in communion, along with those watching the service. It was comforting to still hold some of our traditions, even though we're at home.
I had the idea for this picture a couple of months ago, long before Covid-19 and sheltering in place became our reality. One evening I was driving by the church in Mount Vernon and I noticed that the cross above the altar was lit at night and you could easily see it glowing through the doors. I tucked that away for a future picture, thinking that it would be interesting to take a picture of the cross through the glass doors. Fast forward to Holy week 2020 and I knew this picture would be the perfect documentation of worship during this time when we are unable to physically meet together as the body of believers. My faint reflection in the glass is a wonderful reminder of why we celebrate Easter! My sins have been redeemed through Christ's sacrifice.

Keeping Tradition
We may be stuck at home, but we'll continue our Easter traditions as well as we can.

Family Fun and Games
We were able to visit with our family from the Appleton area today. It was good to see my aunts, uncles and cousins and catch up a bit. The kids especially enjoyed the outdoor game that Queenie and Todd put together using the bow and foam-tipped arrows.

Birthday Do-Over
Since I was sick on my birthday, I got a do-over birthday weekend! Today we celebrated with sushi and fondue. It was the first time the kids had fondue in a restaurant and it was a big hit. Tomorrow I get to celebrate with my mom and dad and Carrie. These guys sure know how to make a girl feel special.

New Year's Eve Fireworks
We celebrated the New Year with a Harry Potter movie marathon, stromboli, and a dazzling fireworks display. We didn't hang around outside for very long - it was -14 degrees!
I'm feeling pretty happy with my year of pictures and I'm looking forward to more fantastic pictures in 2019. Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! We had a lovely day celebrating with family. Last night, my mom, dad and Carrie all joined us for church and then we headed home for dinner and an epic present opening event. Today, the kids went swimming at the hotel where Nana Sue and Grandpa Ken spent the night and then we all met at our house again for brunch and a competitive game of Polish Poker. I feel truly blessed to have been able to spend such a wonderful day with my family, celebrating the birth of our Savior and King!
A bonus picture of the family, all together on Christmas.
