We are so proud of Kory who turns thirteen in just one week! We will miss his actual birthday, so we’ve been celebrating this week. Here he is at the end of a treasure hunt last Saturday where he found (in Kayla’s garden house) a new inflatable kayak. On Tuesday Kory invited 4 friends to… Read More Celebrating 13 years and Quest Complete (almost!)
We celebrated a bit of Kory’s 13th birthday as well as Father’s Day this weekend. We knew that on Saturday we would be giving Kory the gift of an inflatable kayak that we’d been planning all year, since we will miss his actual birthday while we are in Switzerland. So, we also planned a picnic… Read More Father’s Day Weekend
I realized the other day that I started this blog a year ago today. I was thinking mainly of the upcoming publication of my book when I started it, but now it is really just a fun way to keep in touch with friends, family, and fellow bloggers. Regarding my book though, I’ve sold close… Read More Anniversary and Heat Wave Here!
This weekend was full of endings. We finished school on Friday. (Mostly because the teacher was more than ready.) The kids each had their last piano lesson of the year and performed in a recital on Saturday. And the boys played their last baseball game immediately following the recital.It was Kayla’s first recital, and she… Read More Finished!

With all of my complaining about the very delayed spring in New England, I suppose it would only be right to, at the first sign of spring, report on its glory!While the boys went to baseball practice, Kayla and I went to the Farmer’s Supply and bought seeds and soil in order to get started… Read More A Spring-y Saturday
Well, not my first concert, but the first one that our kids have ever been to. I think the last Christian concert I attended was in 1995! It was The Newsboys with Audio Adrenaline in Austin, TX. Robert and I took the youth from our church, and all I remember was having to sit in… Read More First Concert
We had a great Valentine’s Day….The kids are showing off their cards from Grammie and Paw-Paw – complete with Visa gift card for a dinner out. Thanks, Mom and Dad Krum. After waking up to Valentine surprises, we did our schoolwork for the day and headed out to our weekly history group where there were… Read More Post Valentine’s Day Post
Fort Worth would never cross my mind. There’d be no Austin City limits sign. An’ no Lonestar of any kind. If it wasn’t for Texas. It made me the man I am: Thank God for my old stompin’ ground. I wouldn’t be standin’ right here, right now, If it wasn’t for Texas. -George Strait Greetings… Read More If It Wasn’t For Texas….
