After our stay in Kentucky had come to an end, we considered visiting the Ark Encounter in Williamstown (northern Kentucky) but instead decided to head to the Shenandoah Valley & Luray Caverns (southeastern Virginia). But, not without stopping at a KFC

Summer Trip – Part 1: Howard Family Reunion
This is an awesome country and an absolute blessing to be able to travel it and appreciate the beauty in this Creation that God made to enjoy. Other than the Caribbean and Tijuana, I haven’t traveled outside of it so though
Sports …
From Morgans very first T-Ball season back in 2005, countless hours and dollars have been spent on registrations, equipment, and the most important thing at every game – snacks and drinks at the Concession Stands! With 4 boys, we’ve
2018 Piano Recital & Spring Concerts
Spring brings flowers… rain… and music programs! Mrs. Judy Whitmoyers’ annual Piano Recital Christian and Gabriels’ piano teacher, Mrs. Whitmoyer, is kind, thoughtful, and gracious enough to organize a recital so her students can shine! Christian began as one of
Winter of Progress
If I worked outside all day, I’m sure I’d feel differently but I really enjoy the winter. I know it’s chilly and all, but how can you not enjoy how God provides shimmery white snow and diamond-like icicles to brighten
2018 SV Dinner Concert
The Dinner Concert can be a longer event of sorts, but if you have more than one child in band/chorus, it somewhat works out nice to have them all play, though at different times, but on the same evening at
Labor Day Weekend – Weselak Riverfront Homestead
Labor Day 2016 – 4th Annual Weekend at the Weselaks on Grand Island
Toth-Perry OCMD 2017
Some years you have lots of sun, and some years you don’t. This trip started out a bit soggy, but then a bad day (or week) at the beach is still better than a good day of nothing! For this
Perry-deMena-Zimmerman-Perry-Ballantyne Summer Family Vacation at Lake Gaston, NC
A lovely home on Lake Gaston was the location for our 2017 Perry-deMena-Zimmerman-Perry-Ballantyne Summer Vacation. We were blessed with perfect weather for the week, and many new memories…
First Day of School – 2016
First Day of School 2016: Schuylkill Valley – Perry Boys Morgan in 11th grade, just turning 17 this past Friday. He’s saving his “Luigi” dollars for a different vehicle, but in the meantime he’s using the truck we purchased shortly
Family Vacation – Frontier Town, OCMD and Assateague Island
Summer Vacation at the beach… for me, it doesn’t get much better than that. We were fortunate to enjoy this third year with my parents and siblings again. It was a hot week, but thankful for the reprieve of great
What Better Way to Start 2014-2015 School Year!
Just as you’re about to swipe your brow in thankfulness for making it through the summer without any major injuries (we pretty much do that at the end of every summer since Christian broke his leg back in 2011), one
Summer days and nights winding down…
After coming back from our cross country trip, we were excited to get back to our community pool. In hindsight, I’m not sure why we bothered paying for the membership because we hardly got there, and that certainly didn’t make
The days are sweet but alas too short…
Gabriel, our youngest, just turned 6 years old yesterday. Seems like we are out of the baby stage for good. You know whenever you fill out the ages of your kids in questionnaires? It’s always “0-5, 6-10, etc.”. Time marches
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path”. –Psalm 119:105
This afternoon I visited with Christian’s 3rd grade teacher and Gabriel’s Kindergarten teacher for the first quarter conferences. Christian’s teacher also had Morgan as a student, and so did Gabriel’s teacher. Both of
The leaves are fallin’
Who can look around lately at the hills and the sky and the changing leaves around us and not see God in all that splendor and magnificence? Every season owns something that makes it unique, but I believe Autumn is a
