Two things make me smile about this collage. First and most obvious, I enjoy the demonstration of Kadie’s range of expressions. Second, I’m impressed by Jenni’s photographic skills.

It’s always fun to have a laid-back photo shoot, especially for our first one of the year. Some times, photo jobs are a guilty pleasure: going on a date with Jenni without kids, sharing a hobby we love, and crafting pictures for our friends.

I remember watching a friend show me Diablo 1 back in high school when it was released. I honestly didn’t get it and found the game boring. I knew that it was a major success from gaming publications, but I just didn’t get it.
We’ve managed to take photos of our kids in laundry baskets when they are five-months old. Here’s the collage of all three.

For our anniversary, we visited the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum. We had originally planned to stay overnight and visit the water park on the second day, but we were too tired from a long week and sought the comfort of our own bed. The museum was a fascinating look at the history of aviation and nothing beats seeing the size and wonder of the planes in person.
Seven years and three kids later, I’m more thankful than ever that I said, “I do” at the altar. For all my imagining and dreaming, I couldn’t have come up with the life I have now—it’s so much better.
For the record, I have awesome in-laws. They have been an amazing example of Christ-like love and service ever since I met them and I can’t thank them enough for all the things they do.
Their latest blessing? Giving us an impromptu date without kids last night.
Last week, we had our windows repaired as part of neighborhood repair project. Everyone except me went to Battle Ground for two nights to escape the smell, noise, and cold temperature.
