Traveling in Style

We upgraded to a larger RV at the end of last year, during our last trip we realized that we had outgrown our old one and that if we wanted to continue taking family vacations with the whole family, that we needed to look at purchasing one that had a larger kitchen, more space for [...]

Tim Staples and the Catholic Conference

Have you ever been to a Catholic Conference?  If you are Catholic or just curious about the Catholic faith, or have no faith at all you should find one and attend as soon as possible.  My family and I have been to several (more than 10 I am sure) and it is a unique and [...]

60 MPH

Tonight Rachel drove to the grocery store, which is across a major highway, and then we drove to a friend’s house which is about 5 miles away. Rachel drove on Parmer lane and the speed limit is 60! She did great and kept up with traffic and did better than she does driving in [...]

A Very Busy Weekend of Activities

This has been a busy weekend thus far, but it is not over yet.  We started our weekend on Friday night with a Piano concert by two of our older daughters (hence the recent purchase of a baby grand piano).  We took some video (iPhone again), if you are interested in watching, click here.  The [...]
