Jurassic World Live Tour
Last weekend, one of Mark’s best friends from college came down with his two oldest kiddos and met Mark, Jacob, Sarah, and Benjamin for the Jurassic World Live Tour in Denver. They had so much fun! I didn’t get a whole lot of details – so I will just let the pictures speak for themselves! …

Glasses
Isn’t she just the cutest?! Several months ago, Sarah shared with me that she was having a hard time seeing things. It was the usual suspects: the hymn numbers at church, the board in our schoolroom, etc. So I scheduled her an appointment and they concluded that Sarah needed glasses. Her prescription is not “hefty” …
Sleep Study
Last week we had a sort of unexpected night. Lydia has been on a wait list for a sleep study for several months now and we got a call around lunch time asking if we could take the spot for that night and we did! Of course, it was a night Mark was working, but …
