200lbs for the first time in my life. Unacceptable.
Most of my life I’ve been a 165 to 170 lb guy. In my 40s that changed to 180–190 pounds. Yesterday I crossed a line I never thought I’d see. Time to change.
Incredible moth on our front porch
Absolutely beautiful. It’s amazing what little creatures show up on our front porch each morning.
Daniel’s Fourth Tooth
So proud of him pulling it out himself! He gets SO excited for the tooth fairy to visit.
Crab apples
Our catch of the day!
Best playground ever!
Had some fun today going down to the creek and seeing what we could find. Daniel is pretty good with his net!
Rubber band snake
Last week, every time I picked Daniel up on the playground, he told me the older boys and girls were making snakes. One day they gave him one and put a huge smile on his face!
Daniel’s first library book – King Cobra!
Putting his brand new library card to work – he’s diving into the big world of books! I wonder what will be of libraries in 20 years?
My sweetheart. I’m so blessed.
I’m in love with the most amazing woman. Kristen is my soulmate, so beautiful, an incredible wife and wonderful mother. I love her more every day!
All grown up
When we got back from the beach last week, Kristen was so excited to see everything that she planted in her garden growing so well!
Starbucks new Google Wifi
This new service just showed up at our local Starbucks. In the past the wifi was much slower than the 4G cellular data. This is a great improvement.
My after school buddy
I have to say there’s just nothing like having one of your kids come up to you and snuggle.
Daniel’s favorite lizard – the Gila monster
Last week at the beach, we went to the zoo (twice). Each time we asked the kids what their favorite animal was at the zoo. Boys will be boys!
What’s on the mind of a six-year-old…
Every now and then I find in Danie’ls little box score drawing that just makes me smile. I love how inspired and creative their little imaginations are at this age.
Last day at the beach
We’ve enjoyed an amazing vacation this year at Kure Beach, NC. The kids and Kristen have had a wonderful time. I’ll post pictures later this week. Headed home today.

Green Bug, Green Bug, what do you see?
Kristen just found this little guy strolling along. She put it in a jar gave it to Daniel. Best present ever!
Happy Mother’s Day
We love you sweetheart! You make such an incredible difference in our lives. We treasure the love you share with us and hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day! Did you know the history of Mother’s Day has its roots in West...
Guess who’s coming to the birthday party today?
We’re getting ready for the big combo party for Daniel and Lily today. A lot of preparation and work has gone into it. Guess who crashed the party and is the big star?
Springtime on Rabel Mountain
Spring is WV is wonderful. I took this photo from the road going past our home today. I love how nestled away in nature we are. Only in West Virginia!
Poison Ivy
I’m teaching Daniel to know what Poison Ivy looks like on our trail hikes… Hope he is a good learner! There is just a little bit here and there in the woods and I hope he can stay away from it for as long as possible.
Four Years Old
It’s so hard to believe – but Lily is growing up so fast! Next thing I’ll be hearing the car keys jingle in her hand!
The Wild Wolfpack
Had a wonderful time at the Great Wolfe Lodge this weekend. The kids just run and play (and get so tired <grin>). It’s just an incredible indoor water park experience. This is our second time and I can see it becoming an annual trip for us to enjoy with...
