Baltimore Auto Show 2010

Baltimore Auto Show 2010

A few times in the past I have given to Miquel as his Valentine’s present,  a visit to the car show in Baltimore’s Convention Center. In the years past, it has been overwhelmingly amazing and it was almost too much show to see in one visit. This year, I was excited to have more Valentines to take, and we set out yesterday to the Maryland Auto Show. There were some noticeable changes at the start. Not … Read entire article »

Christmas Eve 2009 Highlights

Christmas Eve 2009 Highlights

This Christmas Eve was special with Enric, Miranda, and Silas here with us. Jenny, back from school, was here too! The evening was sweet starting with our Christmas Eve service at church, and my guess is, that is when the hilarity got its start. Silas didn’t go into the nursery as keeping children with parents in the service is encouraged. He was so funny singing along, imitating the violins, and speaking out loud. Once home, the evening … Read entire article »

Our hotel didn’t allow henna tattoos because they claimed that the ink makes a hard to clean stain on their interior. With that in mind, the girls decided on the last day they would get a tattoo. Laura’s…. Jenny got one with Miquel’s name… and even Donna got one! All three pose: And shortly after that, we headed home. Laura and I were incredibly blessed on our vacation. … Read entire article »

The Pier

The Pier

I was sitting in the hotel room talking to John when my cell phone rang. It was the girls saying, “You need to hurry to the pier! The waves are hitting it!” The pier at Ocean City is reserved for amusement rides close to the boardwalk, and further into the water, a great lookout of the beach and even more out, a place for those who like to go fishing. Donna and I quickly dressed and rushed … Read entire article »

Nightfall, Bayside

Nightfall, Bayside

After some rest in the afternoon, we went bayside for the sunset. There were too many clouds for a real sunset! However, it was real pretty anyway. Then it was back on the boardwalk for the night. We left Jasper and Dante at home, but someone brought their pet iguana! A bumpy night ride, the waves were very choppy. … Read entire article »

Flea Market

Flea Market

In the first time, in my adult life, I went to a flea market today. I think as a child I remember once going with Chris and her family, but as an adult, this was indeed a first. I went because Jenny and her mom were setting up to sell some things and Laura jumped in to do the same with them, I wanted to see what it was all about.  Miquel provided muscle, and apparently … Read entire article »

We have Petra and Leoni here from Holland for the holidays. After a few days of some solid Christmas shopping, we finally had time to settle down, go to church for the cantata and break out the sugar cookies to decorate with Jenny helping us.
