Bruce’s Baptism

Bruce took a big step toward his faith journey today by publicly declaring his commitment to Jesus. He was surrounded by friends and family as well as joined in the tank with his sister Violet.

I can’t wait to see how God will use his faith to move mountains.

The Music in the Garden’s Secrets

Lovegood continued with new programming showcasing their first premiere mainstage. How this allowed for wider reach of performers to participate. I was happy to see some returning talent to blend into the community.

The Secret Garden Musical was a much more somber and slow story, but I’ve found the music to offer variety to Lovegood’s traditional upbeat and comedy. I appreciate expanding my repertoire of plays to different genres.

Eileen and Devon’s Wedding

I’m so happy for my cousin Eileen who married her best friend last weekend. Their wedding was wonderfully personalized with video game nods in the processional music, gifts, and table names.

Magic of Matilda

We’re coming up to three years at Lovegood and we’ve been privileged to see student performers grow with each performance. For Matilda, several lead roles were Jenni’s “show kids” and we loved their chance to showcase their skills and growth.

Camping at Stub Stewart

While the girls were away at their Aunt Rachel’s to help with summer camp, Bruce, Jenni, and I spent two nights at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park to try out camping again.

Bricks Cascade 2026

Our family got hooked into LEGOs around 2016 and we’ve enjoyed going to our local LEGO fan convention back in 2017. LEGOs are right up my alley by blending art and engineering. I’m grateful for an event where we can be inspired by great builders.

Happily Twenty-One Years After

In this season with near-adult children, we celebrated our anniversary simply and spread out over a week. There were events, commitments, and logistics that made going away overnight tricky, but—as Jenni has taught me over the years—we celebrated anyways.
