Which method of waking on a Saturday morning would I choose? Bright sunlight/blue skies through the skylight above my side of the bed? Or the ringing of my cell phone beside my bed, a call from John or Erin with baby news? Either would be nice, though one in particular, when it happens, will bring [...]

Look who gets to wear her pink snow boots to work today! It’s enough to call off school (who doesn’t love a snow day?), but from this direction… …and this direction, we have blue skies. At 7:10 a.m.! I have a feeling this will be short lived. Meanwhile, I get to wear my pink snow [...]

My job comes with its perks. As if it weren’t enough to work with really cool people on a daily basis, now and then someone wants to say thanks in a tangible way. Today in the office kitchen, these were discovered: Oops. The cookies cover the word kids… “The FOG kids.” “FOG” stands for 5 [...]

There’s a lot of love represented on the shelves of our cookin’ room. The shape of a heart plays an important role in our house. This one shelf alone displays quite a few, each with its own story. But the most important hearts are on this shelf. Can you see them? Yup. We carry them [...]

I first set foot in our little town of Newberg back in 1989. Paul and Taylor and I traveled from Michigan on a road trip in “Big Blue,” finding camping sites whenever possible for cheap. My dream come true! That’s Big Blue, looking proud among the bigs. There was much to see along the way. [...]

I got the idea in my head a long time ago that I’d like to invite some of my friends to share high tea with me. Trouble is, the only part of that idea that I can actually do is invite some of my friends. So I did that much… and left the rest to [...]

Happy birthday, big boy!
