Missouri is funny. One day, it’s 90 degrees and so humid that you sweat just from sitting in the shade. The next day it’s cold enough to wear hats and gloves. It’s warmed up since those couple of cold days and now we are thoroughly enjoying the last little bit of summer on this beauuuuutiful […]

We were young, we were in love, we were completely naive to what married life would be like, and we were oh-so-excited to start our life together… Happy 8-year-and-1-month anniversary to us!!!   On to many more years and many more adventures 🙂

Every boy is a warrior at heart. Grown up boys included. And every warrior needs a sword. Duh! So when a dear friend of ours, whom Judah calls “Uncle Andy” and who creates amazing things out of random wood he finds, gave John and Judah their VERY OWN SWORDS, you can imagine how excited they […]

A couple of weeks ago, we thought, “Hey, it’d be fun to have a double jogging stroller!” We try to go on a family jog every Sunday morning, and one of those fancy strollers would make that whole jogging-with-two-kids thing a whole lot easier. But if you know anything about strollers, you know that double […]

The last double date we had in Spokane was with Mom and Dad. The boys got to crash our date night and come along, too :). We went to the mall for coffee, some shopping, dinner, and for Judah to ride the choo-choo train there. Not so sure what he thought of it though… first, he […]

Do you want to see the most ridiculous puppy ever? Here it is: Now, let me explain. This puppy was hurt soon after she was born (we’re not sure what happened), and has ever since had a sack filled with fluid on her head. The fluid needs to be drained every couple of days, which […]

When I was a brand-new mom with a 4-month old baby, stuck without a car in our little red house in the woods, and battling baby blues and hormonal roller coasters, these ladies saved me. I am so thankful that I decided that I NEEDED to get out of the house to keep my sanity. So […]

It happened. We jumped on the selfie bandwagon. Even though I had no idea what that word meant until a couple of months ago and even though it’s underlined in red squiggly lines whenever I type it. So here are our first selfies from the land of Spokane! Assuming that it’s still considered a selfie […]

How to turn American boys into soccer fans: 1. Wear proper soccer fan attire.   2. Teach them what offsides means, why the referees pull out yellow cards, and that just because someone falls over it doesn’t mean there was a foul.   3. Surround them with Germans who act like crazy people when it […]

I love being an aunt. Playing with your sweet little nephews and nieces without having to deal with bedtime or disciple; doting on their cute Facebook pictures without having to think about what it took to get them to finally smile or even look at the camera… it’s great. That’s why I’m so excited for […]
