Posted on July 23, 2008. Filed under: Boys and Dogs, Jesus Following | Tags: , , , |

That’s just one of the great questions my son Brock asked me yesterday.

Playing the Waiting Game

Jodi and I are waiting in Evergreen.
We’re waiting for our third baby, which should arrive in about a week.  If the ultrasound pictures are accurate, it should be our third boy in 4 years.  Living in Branson where boys can be boys is exciting.  Thinking about how to train our boys on when and how [...]

Fun at the Playground Before the Big Change

Day #3: The Waterfall and Rock Climbing
On the morning of Day 3, I woke up to one of the most wonderful sounds of nature - my car alarm. Apparently the camp earlybird (Bethany) tried to get out the cooler of food we had locked in the car the night before. That set of [...]
