Our present life

We are currently living in Manteca, California away from the cold winters of Chicago. We moved to California almost 4 years ago and started this blog in an attempt to keep in touch with our family and friends in Chicago or elsewhere. We miss everyone from the midwest but we love those who have become part of our life in California. Kevin is a teacher at Ripon Christian High. He also coaches girls volleyball and soccer and stays busy playing the sports he loves as well. Janey is a nurse 2 days a week and a mom the rest. She works at DMC on the pediatrics floor. Mason (5) and Talen (2) are growing daily and loving life! Enjoy our blog and follow us if you like!

Easter break

Our Spring break was a blast! We got to spend it in Chicago this year with family and friends who we miss.  The boys traveled great this time.  Even Talen did a great job.  Kevin and I have learned a few things about traveling with little boys. 1.) Bring plenty of snacks - they will turn on you if they are hungry! 2.) Technology is your friend!. The more electronic devices - the better. DVD player, i-phone, i-pad all help a little boy sit a long time. 3.) Don't stress about the little things.  God has been teaching me lately not to worry or be anxious. When I worry, I am actually saying to God, "I don't trust you."  In everything I need to be thankful - even when the circumstances are challenging.  "Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." - I Thess 5:18.  This made for a great week!  We feel so blessed to have wonderful family on both sides.  And we always soak up the times we get to visit our family from Chicago.  Here are a few pictures of our trip:

The indoor waterpark - so much fun.
