4 years ago today, a very special little lady entered the world. We are so lucky that God found us you Grace.
For a four-year old, you are strong, confident and wise beyond your years and I can only imagine what the next year(s) will have in store for us, but I am so excited to experience them all along side you.
Please don’t ever lose your big smile, huge heart and love for life. May this year be the best yet! We love you Gracie O and hope you have the most wonderful birthday!
While I was at home catching up on work and house projects, Jenn was putting another 1,987 miles on the car (not including all the excursions they took when they were visiting places).
Leg 1: New Hampshire continued:
Grammy & Pap-Pap met up with them in New Hampshire right after I left, and during this time they got to spend a lot of time hiking and playing in creeks. The kids were in their glory. They got to do many of the things that we missed out on while I was there and overall had a great second week in New Hampshire. Continue reading “Standing on Six Legs: 1,987 Miles”
There were too many pictures from Acadia, and since we were now wrapping up my leg of the trip, I saved some of those pictures for this post.

It’s the early hours of the morning as mist is slowly rising from the ground mixed with the last remnants of smoke from smoldering camp fires. All is quiet, except for the noise of a few animals. Most of the campers happily fell asleep the night before, never paying attention to the abandoned car parked in site 35. It seems that after parking their car, the inhabitants never returned to set up a tent.
Most of the sleeping campers probably never even paid attention. Never-the-less if they had, no one would have ever imagined the horrors that the family from site 35 were experiencing right at that very moment…
Let’s step back approximately 20 hours to the events leading up to the horror of site 35. Continue reading “3,391: A Car In The Woods”
We made it to New Hampshire in the early evening and were excited to be able to unpack the car, reorganize our lives and get settled in.
After we got the car unpacked, Jenn asked if I could go to the grocery store to pick up a few things. Sure, not a problem at all…but there were a few problems. Continue reading “3,391: Can You Hear Me Now?”
