A couple of weeks ago, Lovebug attended a “Science & Detective Camp” at a local children’s museum. I had come across an ad for it in a local publication and I knew it would be perfect for her!

Emily and I had the privilege this past weekend of attending a retreat in Myrtle Beach! It was so fun! It was sponsored by the Army Chaplains and this one was for the spouses and kids of the deployed soldiers in our brigade. They paid for the hotel, and most of the meals were provided . . . → Read More: Spouse Retreat in Myrtle Beach It’s hard when we change the plans on our kiddos sometimes, isn’t it? It’s funny that my daughter can be so easy going about some things, and so rigid about others. She’s been completely fine with the foster kids coming and going in our home.

The entire street was decorated with beautiful lights, programmed to the music (click here for video). They had bounce houses, a balloon artist, and a SNOW SLIDE! First we watched Santa parachute in, which was fun. . . . → Read More: Christmas on the Square There is a local hardware store that has a post office located in the back of the store. It comes in very handy this time of year when the line at the regular P.O is out the door and down the street. I would think that every local knows about this little secret, yet of all . . . → Read More: Elliott’s Hardware Today at the park I asked Lovebug, “Do you know you’re beautiful?”. She replied, “Yes. Daddy told me.” I couldn’t ask for more. I am so blessed to be married to a man that understands the importance of a daughter feeling loved by her daddy! And that confidence leads to her continuing to try new things…like this really steep (fast) . . . → Read More: I couldn’t ask for more Last week, the kids and I spent 7 full hours at the Arboretum with some great friends. No toys, no TV, just wide open spaces and lots of nature!! The girls were plenty entertained with all the hay, pumpkins, dirt, grass and sticks! Here are some highlights!

Going to parks & playgrounds has been something we’ve enjoyed as a family for years and now that our time in the metroplex is limited, we want to check out as many as we can before we . . . → Read More: ParkQuest  |
