Blessings to all as you celebrate family, Christ’s birth, and new beginnings!!

Family Christmas tradition includes spending 3-4 days between Christmas and New Years in Tennessee visiting my brother’s family – Mike, Dorine, and Eddie.  We do a lot of “nothing” and enjoy every minute.  And each year’s trip would not be complete without seeing our Uncle Bob, now 88.  This year he schooled all of us at […]

Given Katie’s hubby (Evan)  is a photog, she’s an easy target …. rolls with the punches when asked to be photographed, and photogenic, too!  Love you Kate!

The dust is starting to settle from a spectacular wedding celebration – Mr. and Mrs. Evan Ranft.  We are incredibly proud and thankful for Katie and Evan, their “big day”, and everything the future has to bring for them.  They were meant for each other, and God is looking down on them and guiding them.

I love and adore you, Emily! […]
