Happy Birthday, Allen!

Happy Birthday, to my sweet son.  He is an amazing husband, father, brother and son.  We are so proud of the man you have become.

It's A Girl!

Allen and Jessica found out baby #3 is a GIRL!  Allen (Popi), Lindsey Johnson and I were present to experience the excitement with Allen, Jes, Jonah and Eve.  Jonah was very matter of fact with his prediction. It seems surreal at only 15 weeks.

Ethan and Katherine are Engaged!

A special place, a couple in love and a night meticulously planned.  Ethan had worked out every detail of this once-in-a-lifetime night.  A candle-lit path leading to a crackling fire and mason jars hanging from the trees surrounded an antique quilt and on it lay wildflowers and a black velvet box containing a one-of-a-kind engagement ring. 

January 20, 2012

Ethan had arranged to have dinner with Kevin and Christy.  Because he and Katherine were early, they would stop at the lodge to say hello to Allen and me.  We were at HHCC for a camp Board meeting.  The darkness made the candles seem even brighter as they beckoned them into the dark wooded area and as  Ethan said, "Let's take a walk", she knew this night would change her life forever. 

Ethan and Katherine both grew up attending Horton Haven and even attended the same camps at times.  As college students they both served on Core Staff and friendship blossomed into love.  It seemed perfect to propose at this special place where they had met and then served the Lord together. 

Every once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life,

love gives you a fairytale.

Mister Beans!

 How do you get to "Mister Beans" from Caleb? 

 This little guy is a party waiting to happen.

 Don't say anything you don't want repeated in exactly the same tone and

 inflection with a Southern accent.

 "I'm suh-wimmin'!"

Big truck or bull-dozer won't do.  No, it's an escavator.
