Michiganders

July 2, 2010

Well, not really, but at least for three weeks for me & a month for the rest of the clan.  I surprised Ginny the day before we left & came out with her and the rascals.  I was supposed to follow them up a week later, but a few maneuvers on the down low, and [...]

headed north

June 24, 2010

Preparations have begun for our 2nd annual, summer trip to the
northern Michigan town of Petoskey.  Ginny’s family has a tradition of
heading to this throw-back town when the temperatures rise that dates
back to at least the 1920’s.  Last year her family bought a cottage so
that the tradition could continue.  This year, the trip falls at a
great [...]

unusual- even the route was the same one [...]

Fabulous Four

June 4, 2010

Anders turned 4 months last week.  Most folks would guess he’s older because he is a big boy…18 pounds & very long, just about an inch shy of how long Hazel was at 9 months.  It really has flown by!  Some moments seem like I was just on bedrest yesterday & some moments seem like [...]

weekend at Big Creek

May 31, 2010

Against our better judgment, we loaded up the rascals and headed east, to scenic waters and bluffs for a Memorial Day roadtrip.  Arkansas bares some amazing gifts to those willing to find them.  It was a great time and we look forward to going back and watching time pass through the pictures taken on our [...]

writing….a mile at a time

May 19, 2010

As I have recently been writing more often, I have taken note of what the process requires of me.  For those who love to write, I think it’s a little like someone who says they love to exercise.
(I am left only guessing with this parallel to a love affair with [...]

flux: continuous change
Ginny & I are on the precipice of heading into a new season of life.  Coming out of law school, I started working two jobs:  one was with the church where we attend (Mosaic) & the other was a consulting position with a friend and man for whom I have [...]
