For Christmas this year, Mark gave Jacob, Sarah, and Benjamin tickets to the Colorado Symphony. This was a first for the kids and this last weekend they were able to attend. The Symphony was spotlighting Mark’s favorite composer, John Williams. And Mark has turned the kids into fellow John Williams fans. They can tell you …
This last year, I have tried to incorporate some more “holiday” school into our family’s homeschooling life. We did a little something extra for Valentine’s Day earlier this year and then we did “Thanksgiving School” last month. It has been such a fun way to learn something new but also set the day apart as …
Benjamin is SEVEN YEARS OLD! And we loved celebrating our big guy! Indiana Jones Party If you know Mark, you know of his great love for the composer, John Williams. I learned that about him on our very first date and as much as I tease him about it, I really do love how much …

Benjamin appreciation post! This little man. There is a whole lot of personality in this little body! Ben continues to be the most physical human being I have ever been around. He needs to be physically active – this boy loves to use his body – and his love language is definitely physical touch. If …
We have had the most wonderful spring. It has been cool and rainy and oh so pleasant {except the mosquitos!}. Mark has been wanting to take the kiddos to a Colorado Rockies game ever since we moved and he was finally able to this month. We’ve had afternoon thunderstorms nearly every day, but they had …
