Giving Kids the Gift of Your Time at Christmas
giving the best thing you have as a gift… Meaningful gifts are my favorite at Christmas time! Mike is great at giving me gifts. I talked about some of those last year here. I’m excited about giving our kids some really cool gifts this year. Giving our time to the people that we love most [...]
Kid Date: Tennis Anyone?
A little fun together… Miriam asked for a tennis racket for Christmas…mostly because she wanted to get to go over to the tennis court with her Dad.

Kid Dates
super fun. Since Emmett was little we’ve tried to have kid dates with each one of our 4 children. It gets complicated sometimes and I wish I could say we were ultra consistent. We aren’t. But we’re getting better. A kid date is an hour to 90 minutes of uninterrupted fun time with only one [...]
