Adult Weekend - Brown County Getaway

In early December, Jason and I, along with Wiese's and Maxwell's planned for an adult only getaway. We didn't get our typical adult camping trip, so we thought this might be fun instead. A chance to get away, visit without interruption and just have some fun. And fun, we had!

Friday after dropping the kids off at school, we blew the coup! Well, 4 of us did -- Seth and Jen had to come later, because Jen is assisting coaching Harrison Girls basketball team this season and they had a game Friday evening. We headed to Columbus and stopped at Simmon's Winery for their infamous chocolate dipped wine bottles. We went for the wine, tasted that, a flight of beers, their amazing woodfired pizza, and then headed up the road to Brown County.
 Saturday we hit the local wineries, breweries, did some shopping. We even stopped at The Hillbilly Footwash for a comical pedicure!



It was a great weekend getaway. We are so blessed to have these great friends in our life and bonus parents for our kiddos. We love all their boys like our own, and they all love on you kids. What a blessing to share life with great people!

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

April - Hey Batter, Batter...

April is always the month that makes us think spring is FINALLY here, because it's starting to warm up, suns starting to shine more, except when we finally get to the baseball/softball fields, it's just as cold as it was in February. Thankfully, Emmalyn had an indoor sport to carry us through the cold of the month, until baseball/softball really got kicked off! Emmalyn tried something new this year and participated in CiVic vollebyall. This is a club program out of Carroll County, and she practiced every Sunday from January through April. Finally in late April she had three play dates. One Saturday we played up at Fairmount, IN. Grandma Jacki, Keaton and I went with Emmalyn, while Dad, Grandpa and Colton cut down some trees in preparation for our spring projects. Emmalyn and Mae Ella did a wonderful job for their team, both rocked their serving and seemed to know the game and keep their cool better than some on the team. The second weekend Dad, Em & Mom traveled to Triton H...
