The Sweet Sound of Laughter

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…

A Forever Home for Christmas

Posted in Family, and Photography

While I wasn’t ready to introduce a new furry buddy to our home yet, both Daddy and Munchkin really wanted to have a new puppy in time for Christmas. They couldn’t handle not having a dog to love on; they needed a dog to fill the huge void left by the passing of our other pup. This past weekend we decided to go away for the weekend. We quickly packed up some clothes and overnight necessities and hopped into the truck. We just needed to get out of the house. We ended up coming home with this cute boy. I…

Goodbye G’pa…

Posted in Family

Yesterday wasn’t just a difficult day due to the loss of our beloved pet. We also lost a sweet grandfather. G’pa was 98 years old, so he had a wonderful life. He’s leaving behind his beloved wife of 71 years and many loved ones. D and I always say that we want to be like G’ma and G’pa because they were a wonderful testament of a lifelong marriage. Last night, D said that he prays that we are blessed to be able to spend that many years together. I agree. They were by each other’s side through thick and thin,…

Playing in the Rain

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Today, we received a very nice rain storm which means Munchkin needed to head outside to play. It also meant that she needed to head over next door to see if her friend could play. That play lead to lots of laughter, fun, and some rather wet, cold kiddos. While it may not be as cold as it is in other parts of the country, it is rather chilly – especially when you’re soaked due to the rain and splashing in puddles. Of course, when you see rain so rarely and you’re a kid, a chill in the air does…

Thankful Thursday: Surgery Recovery Update

Posted in Family, and Photography

D met with the military “board” yesterday. We are now cautiously optimistic about D’s future in the military. We were given some hope that due to his rank and job that he’ll be able to continue being a Marine, and he could make it to retirement. They were pleased to see how well he was doing already. He has rough days especially when he does too much, but recovery is going well. We still have a long road ahead, and things could change in an instant. We gave this whole situation to the Lord and trusted that He would provide…
