Earlier this week Andrew brought Charlie, Adam, and their friend Raleigh out to do some shooting in our woods. Adam got his first gun for Christmas, and all of the other guys, including Jeff, already had guns, so they had a fun day. I got this picture of Charlie with his shotgun, with Adam looking […]
Jenny had to work on Christmas Day, so they didn’t celebrate Christmas until Sunday, and we went over to have lunch with them, as has been our tradition on Christmas for years. Jenny took this picture of us with Charlie and Adam. Such a fun day
Our day was a little lower key than it’s been in the past, it seemed. We didn’t go to Addie’s house until 9 for breakfast, so Jeff & I had some quiet time at home & then exchanged presents here before heading over for that. The kids still had presents from their parents and each […]
For years we have attended Christmas Eve Service at Woodland UMC in Rock Hill, where Charlie and Adam participated in the Children’s Christmas Pageant that was presented every year on Christmas Eve.

June and I went with a group from our church to see The Velveteen Rabbit performed at the Children’s Theater in Charlotte. Back 30+ years ago when I took my children to the Children’s Theater, it was in a completely different […]
Yesterday was our annual shopping spree at church. This has been going on for years, but this is the first time I’ve ever helped out with it.
