Service Project for Haiti





As all of you have seen in horror and disbelief, the destruction in Haiti, our family felt prompted to do a VERY small part to help out. We made Hygiene Kits which the Humanitarian Center will ship off to the shattered country . They consisted of two hand towels, two combs, four toothbrushes, one tube of toothpaste, two bars of soap. Not much, I know, but we needed to do something. Sara mentioned she and her young women went the the Humanitarian Center for a tour. They told the girls that the recipents of the kits are most excited about the ZipLock bag it comes in. They cherish it for years! Yeah, we're pretty spoiled here. Now, I wish I could find good families for about a million orphans.

Super Bowl Sunday!! 2010








As you probably all know who read this post, I am not a big sports fan, but my FAMILY is! So anyone who wanted to watch the big game on Grandpa Den's new TV was invited to come and enjoy the game along with lots and lots of food! Quick rundown: we missed the Beus', Kim, Whit and Mylee, the Cleveland Van Leeuwens and Adam! Tara was feeling very pregnant, Owen loves to move it, move it, the dress up clothes are a hit for my little princesses, I remembered why I stopped buying red soda pop and the Saints won!

Get Your Head in the Game!!!







For the last two Christmas' our children have given each other an evening of games, food and laughter with no little ones on board! There was literally no days available during the month of December, so unfortunately we had to have the game night after Clay returned to Cleveland. It was a blast!!! But we missed you Clay!!

Christmas present from Telisa!!



When Telisa asked me for some ideas for a Christmas present for us this year. I quickly said, you can paint a mural in my playroom, since we were in the middle of repairing all the walls in our basement after a flood! SHE DID IT! I think it turned out beautiful, better than I could of imagined!!! Love it!!! Thank you Telisa!! And her big helper, Bodie!!
