Tyler’s Graduation from Penn State Berks on May 6, 2023
When Tyler came along only 18 months after his older brother Morgan was born, it was a promising outlook with them being so close in age. They would be doing so many things together – school, sports, everything. I wouldn’t

Wait, what? Four years gone by … already? Wow – they’re not kidding when they say, “don’t blink.” Leaving him at the college four years ago was difficult, but thankfully Naomi would be around! At the end of his first

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
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
Days of Summer
Sure would be nice to have our own pool, but going to Bern Pool is always fun too. I suppose I could try to match the snack bar there, but something tells me that nothing would taste as good as
