The little guy is […]
Our good friends Chris and Becky were married today! It was a great wedding, they made it very personal. I left feeling like I new them a lot more than when I arrived. Chris and Becky are both very musical and their love for music really showed, they both sang a few songs after the […]
This summer we’ve been blessed with a nice big backyard which we’ve been taking advantage of it everyday! Canaan loves to run around and even more fun lately has been the hose and a few buckets. Today we added soap into the mix and Canaan had a blast! I’m pretty sure he would have stayed […]
