These are a pair of Abstracts that I did for our living area. They are 30"x40" Acrylic on Canvas and in a very simple geometric style. (Further proving the fact that just about anybody can mimic anything!)

Friends around the Table


Friends around the table

We have begun to realize that the best things that happen in community seem to happen, at least for us, around the dinner table.

We have wanted to get this table and chairs for a few years and now we finally are eating around it. At the recent Pastor's Retreat here on Iron Mountain, we had groups of friends around it each night. The conversations and friendships that they cultivate were just exactly what we had in mind.

For all friends and family. Please come by and sit at the table with us. We have stories to tell, and can't wait to hear yours.

Wow the children are growing


The Kids

For those friends that we don't get a chance to see often enough (Daniel and Sharon; Michael and Misti; Jeremy and Michelle especially) I have posted a few pics on the flickr site of the children so that you can see how much they are growing and changing. We are enjoying each day of their lives, yet we are also very taken back by how fast those days are flying.
They are the most alive 4 children I believe you will find anywhere. They absolutely love life and are living it (as our friends in South Africa say) "Hoy Milles". Which really means "with corn" but I think can also mean with much gusto or full tilt. (At least that is what I am going to say it means.)

Zoo Atlanta

Recently, while in Atlanta, we had the privilege to be able to go to the Zoo with my cousin Mendi and her children. 20+ years ago, we had been to Grant Park Zoo and had a blast. There are still some pictures floating around from that day. This time it was very fun too. My mom also joined us. We really had a great time. Check out this highlight video from the day at Zoo Atlanta: The Cousins Hit Zoo Atlanta.
It is simply amazing how close these 7 can be to each other even though we live so far apart. But then again, we were pretty close ourselves growing up...Special thanks to my couz for making these friendships work.
