Not a Clue...

-
So, our second gerbil Clue died yesterday. I was pretty sad about it and of course the one who found him. The kids were upset that they only have one pet now (Frog) and they really want a dog. The only emotion I got from them was from Jonathan who picked him up from his tail and dropped him quickly and said, "Clue not moving momma, he dead." I couldn't believe it. I was the one who fed, held, and cleaned up after Clue so I guess the only one with a relationship with him :) Today, I am moving our massive water frog to his 10 gallon aquarium tank that once held Clue. We are still working on John to get a dog. The rule right now is we can get one when the kids are old enough to take it on a walk alone...it could be at least 5 years....we'll keep you posted...

oh how sad! though jonathan's comment made me giggle :). i'm not much of a dog person, but dogs are pretty fun, especially when you have kids. you've got a great backyard so a walk everyday wouldn't be too necessary though they do love it. good luck!

Dogs are a lot of work. Traveling becomes a headache too because you have to either kennel the dog or find a babysitter!! I think having 4 kids is enough for now!! Sorry Clue died!!!

Our 2024 Christmas Update

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. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
