Oma and Opa left today after a great visit. The kids were stoked to see them as usual and they will be greatly missed. Mo is going to stay with us for another week. Hopefully we will get to do a few more fun things before he leaves so that he isn’t too bored. The [...]

I think that Jessica has decided that we need to get a family portrait yearly. I am not sure how I feel about that but I am sure that it doesn’t matter. We are sending a bunch of pictures out but I thought that I would put them up here anyway. They are in an [...]

My family from over the seas has finally arrived. Our much anticipated visit is going great! We have gone fishing, shopping, swimming, watched fireworks, and generally just hung out.

I don’t think that I have ever been as proud of Magnolia Springs and Alabama as I am today! This Oil Spill has everyone flustered including myself. To be honest with you it messes me up every night when I think about all of the things we are going to loose at the cost of [...]
