2012 Maids Convention in Omaha

-
While John was in Omaha for his annual Maids convention, the kids and I took advantage of the fancy hotel stay. I was able to participate in one Maids evening and took the kids swimming. We spent most of Saturday letterboxing at a beautiful lake. Because we got a little lost at first, we ended up walking 4 miles. And we found 4 letterboxes!! That was the most we have found for one day. We also saw Great-grandma Steiner and played on the Old Market slide again. Here are a few pics from the fun...

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025.

Remember we got that one from the Red Box when it came out a couple weeks ago. Joshua: Not the Ariel's Beginning one - the one with Melody. Mom: Oh, do you mean the Little Mermaid 2 where Ariel has a daughter. Joshua: No, that is the Little Mermaid 3 because it comes last. Ashlyn : No, Joshua. Ariel's Beginning comes before Little Mermaid 1, but it is NOT Little Mermaid 1. Joshua: No, no, no. Listen. We own Little Mermaid 2 and I want to see Little Mermaid 3. We already saw 1 a little while ago. Mom: Honey, we can go see if the library has Little Mermaid 2 today. But there really is no Little Mermaid 3. Disney made the Little Mermaid Prequel last, which comes before one. Ashlyn : Joshua, there is no Little Mermaid 3 in the title of the new one - so it is just called Ariel's Beginning. You...
