playing with dog…

This week’s you capture challenge theme is play.  I was going to get a picture of husband playing with our new dog, Maggie, but didn’t ever get around to it.  This is one I took this weekend of Maggie playing with a toy.

Maggie is a really good dog. . . . → Read More: playing with dog…

something new….

So this weekend we got a dog.  I know my friends and family think I must be going crazy…since I have never been a big dog person.  But my husband is a dog lover and has been wanting us to get one ever since we got married.  We thought about getting a dog last year and . . . → Read More: something new….

prayers…

This morning my mom headed to the airport to fly to Malawi for 5 weeks.   She is co-leading a missions team that will be working primarily with people/families who have HIV/AIDs.  She has gone on missions trips like this before, but never for this long and has never led a team.  I’m so excited that . . . → Read More: prayers…

When I was in Baltimore last weekend, I had a great time visiting with some of my good friends.  I had made plans to see them when I first got into town on Saturday since most of my family had other things going on that day.  I went over to my friend Erin’s house . . . → Read More: love these girls (and their families!)…

We found out recently that we will not be moving to England.  We are disappointed, but now we have new things to plan and do this summer.

belated Father’s day….

My mom, dad, and little brother were in the area (well closer than they usually are….only about 4-5 hours away rather than the normal 8 from Baltimore) and they came down to have dinner with us on Tuesday night.  Andy did an incredible job grilling pork on and potatoes.  And . . . → Read More: belated Father’s day….

still can’t believe….

…that husband actually let me cut his hair on Monday night.  He is a little bit particular about his once every few week buzz cut.  It has to “feel sharp” enough to be a good haircut.  But for some reason, he decided to buy a clipper set at Walmart and asked me to give it a . . . → Read More: still can’t believe….
