After 35 years of marriage, we finally went on a cruise. We have shared many adventures that have made for many memories. Memories you will find throughout my blogs and books. If you've never been on a cruise watch out for the endless food bars.

Family retreat 2014
The first family photo just two weeks after the marriage of the last child. It is such an awesome feeling to know your child has found their helpmate for this earthly life.

Family retreat 2017
This past year my father turned 80 years old. Having a family spread out all over the world it was a great feat to arrange a family reunion. We took many photos but one of my favorites was all 10 grandchildren in birth order on a log. What a blessing! Also, this wonderful photo snapped of the original seven. Oh, how our quiver has grown.
10 and counting.......

Christmas 2022
After a long five years and a little thing called "Covid shutdown", we finally got to have our kids from overseas home with us. We were missing one family in this photo but caught up with them the week before. We played games, walked to the beach, and roasted marshmallows on the fire. In-between all that we had lots of crazy. What else can you expect with 26 people crammed into a house together.
Motocross Racing We were able to visit these wild boys at the track.

Eight Months of 2023
2023 was a drawn-out, eight-month time filled with change. I was also filled with heartbreak, sadness, loss, fear, and anger. Our family felt new emotions, new challenges, and new battles to fight with Satan. Also, through these months some very powerful things. A greater love for each other, and a deeper understanding of other's needs. Our family has pulled together from the corners of the world to support and lift- up each other, strangers, family, and friends. These events will have lasting effects on us.
I choose to see the God moments in these events. I will continue to find them for many years to come. I will feel the effects for the rest of my life. I'm sharing a collage of photos for my memory. I hope you see the beauty in them. Maybe they will help you see the power of God as well. If you want a few words to add to the photos you see feel free to message me. God is Good!
