Last night, around 8pm, we were gathered around the TV, watching an old 70s series called, “Alias Smith and Jones”. David heard extremely loud music coming from outside. We went to the door and discovered Santa on top of the Rocklin Fire Department fire engine! They were slowly working their way through the neighborhood, handing […]

Our first official holiday in our new house! We were grateful for a house full of the Holy Spirit, good friends, and blessed conversation. The morning started with me rousing the boys out of bed.

DH’ s back was bothering him, so he stayed home to dole out the candy. I took the boys out through our neighborhood. It was a delightfully warm night and they were so excited! They pretty much ran door to door nonstop, until their little feet could take no more. It was pretty funny to […]

Grandma Margaret was able to join us in serving those who live along the Sacramento river. Since the shelter burned down in July, we have been doing BBQs at the Broderick docks. One of the men we served, went to the store and bought a Nerf football to play with the kids. It was sweet […]

One of the burdens of living where I live is that one of the most gorgeous places on earth is only an hour from my house. It is my Washington – born duty to make sure that all of our guests get the opportunity to visit this special land… First stop was Peju. We just […]

Grandma Margaret joined us for a week! We enjoyed our time at home, but also got a chance to get out for a couple of day trips. Once such trip was to San Francisco. We dropped Margaret off at a friend’s house (they have known each other since college), and we took the boys to […]

Our friends, Chris and Katie, invited our small group over for a fun night of watching ‘Up’ in their backyard. It was a bit cool that night, atypical for this time of year, but it did not dissuade us. Some jackets and blankets all around and we were set! Chris and Katie have a beautiful […]
