My Soccer Mom friend told me about a place where you can feed baby goats. Loved the idea. Decided to do it. Jellystone Park is a themed campground that caters to overnight stays and day visits and the owner's daughter-in-law owns the goats. And the fun part - the campground is owned by a South African and we had a great time chatting, (reverting to our South African accents) and ...

Sometimes I'm so focused on capturing the landscape and the "big picture" that I overlook the closeups. Warren took these photos today. They are so lovely.  Thanks babe for reminding me to stop and look at the details of life. 

It snowed. Not enough in our area to go sledding. So we went to Evergreen.   Evergreen is surrounded by thousands of acres of land in the Rockies.   Cullen was dying to sled. We found this hill next to the frozen lake.   Cullen ventured to the top of the hill. He had on a thin pair of sweatpants, a t-shirt under his hoodie and his snow boots. No gloves, no hat, no waterproof clothing. ...

My Dad is an artist. He used to work in advertising before he switched (or rather, got a calling on his life) to be a minister. But he's kept up his doodling, sketching, drawing and painting over the years.  These are some of the paintings he has done for me.

A little cold when the wind blew but otherwise a perfect day for a walk.  There was a bit of snow on the ground from the snowfall we had a couple of days ago.  The trail ...

A week after Jordan broke his wrist, it was time for his cast. The splint and bandages had to be on until the swelling went down and we were all relieved for Jordan to finally get something more secure.  I was ready with my cell phone camera to capture the event. The splint and bandage came off and there was quite a bit of bruising but that's to be expected.  The doctor took an ...

Yesterday, we got back from our trip to South Africa. We have been knocked sideways with jetlag. Awake at 2:30 am, we watched TV, napped and ate, prefering to stay in our comfy PJs for the rest of the day. And then we heard a horrible shout and cry from the basement. Jordan came up the stairs holding his arm. His wrist was limp and at a weird angle. Neither Warren ...
