This year my wife and I have been searching for peace. We have been trying to slow things down this season. We have spent a couple evenings listening to the Christmas carols on our iPod, lighting the candles and lanterns around the Nativity scene, enjoying the quiet serene, discussing little of the day's troubles, and … Continue reading Merry Christmas Eve

Peeping Tom’s and Easter Sunday
I know strange title, but today is Good Friday. The video has nothing to do with Easter, yet to post on Good Friday without even acknowledging my Christian roots and the traditional Passover, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Jesus would be awful.

Despite life’s adversity; it has truly been a wonderful life.
Happy 21st Anniversary to us! What a joy these past 21 years have been! We have stayed the course through the storms and doldrums of life.

We live a debt … Continue reading Despite life’s adversity; it has truly been a wonderful life.
Our new son is coming home?
