Snorkeling or Suffocating

Snorkeling or Suffocating

April 20, 2017

The difference between the two is just a little plastic tube.  Recently I (Karissa) got the opportunity to go snorkeling in the ocean.  I got to see beautiful coral reefs and fish I’d only seen in aquariums.  It was an experience, but I can’t say it was a fully enjoyable one.  As I was swimming, […]

Fruit Loops and Brain Surgery

Fruit Loops and Brain Surgery

December 8, 2016

“I’m so excited to eat these!” Ty giggled as he walked ever so carefully, balancing a cup full of the most exciting cereal he’d ever seen. The bright red, blue, yellow and green circles promised to be the best thing ever to cross his 3 year old lips. I know he thoroughly enjoyed those fruit […]
