here are some shots from a playdate with cora on tuesday. we went to the park, but it started to rain and was a little slippery, so we came to my house to play, before heading to lunch at j. butlers, where unbeknownst to us, kids ate free. that was good, because all they ate […]

first baseball game
we took isaac to his first baseball game last night, along with some other youth group leaders and students. well, student. we had high hopes that we could make it the length of the game for the fireworks. we also had realistic expectations that it might be a complete disaster. it was somewhere in between. […]
lifegroup cookout
we had a year end lifegroup cookout on saturday. it was a lot of fun and there were a lot of hot and sweaty kids. isaac was a busy fellow. trampoline: loading the wheelbarrel with rocks with josiah: relaxing (only for a minute): chillin’ with the boyzzzz:
treasure map cake
lorena and i made this cake today for lincoln’s birthday. it was a lot of fun to make. looking back, the decision to use mounds of graham cracker crumbs for the islands probably wasn’t the best plan, as it made it hard to get the frosting to stay put, but it looks cool…

poolside
we had our first trip (this summer) to the pool today. a real pool. not the kiddie pool in the backyard. isaac wasn’t really too interested in going in, but in his defense, it was still pretty chilly. he preferred to throw all of the toy into the pool, instead. he did have an unplanned […]
