Munchkin’s Truck: Project Maize and Blue

Posted in Family, and In the Garage

Thanks to some monetary gifts from family as well as hard work on Munchkin’s part, Munchkin is now the proud owner of a project truck. For Christmas, D and I wrapped up a goody box filled with car care items for Munchkin. Some items were picked up for free (or close to it) after Thanksgiving while others were picked up inexpensively right before Christmas. On top, we placed a small box which contained a nice keychain that held the truck keys. When she realized that she was the official owner of the truck, she squealed with delight. It was a…

A Little after Christmas Photo Shoot

Posted in Family, and Photography

Prior to knowing that Daddy was going to have another back surgery, we picked up a nice dress for Munchkin to wear to the Marine Corps Ball.  Well, we ended up not being able to make it to the Ball which disappointed Munchkin as she wanted to wear her pretty new dress.  I told her we’d do a little mini photo shoot so she could wear her dress.  Time got away from us, so we didn’t get her little photo shoot until today.  The temperature was a little cooler, so she wore a wrap for the pics.  It was totally…

Kick-Start Fitness Week 3: A New Routine

Posted in Family, and Fitness

Yesterday, I talked a little about a fresh look on life thanks to our crazy new dog.  I admit that I had forgotten some of the work that goes into owning a younger dog – especially a rescue dog.  We’ve quickly found that there are certain routines that he already has set in place, so we’re trying to keep some of these routines while establishing new ones. One of Wiley’s established routines is daily walks. Now, they said that he walks well on a leash, but we soon found that wasn’t exactly the complete truth.  He does walk on a…

Thankful Thursday: A Fresh Look

Posted in Family

Last week, we were struggling to get our footing under us as a sequence of events left us torn and broken.  As a family, we were hurting, and we received an outpouring of love, encouragement, and prayers from many individuals both online and in person.  The Lord used so many people to touch us, and there really is no way I can adequately express how much we appreciate it all. Over the weekend, the Lord brought a sweet puppy into our lives which allowed some healing to begin.  Oh, it hasn’t been a cake walk as new dogs require lots…

The Sweet Sound of Laughter

Posted in Family, and Photography

Last week, I really didn’t think we’d be hearing the true, pure laughter around our house any time soon.  We continued to joke around and go about living our lives, but our hearts weren’t really into what we were doing.  An under tone of sadness seemed to permeate the house and everything we did.  While we wanted to focus on the good times, it seemed that too many sad memories mingled with the pleasant memories.  Thankfully, our Wiley has helped bring back more of the wonderful memories while we make new memories with him. Today, I decided to try to capture some…
