One of our Favorite Games

July 1, 2010 by Aliesha

Tad and I enjoy playing games together, and one of our favorites is called Dutch Blitz. Have you ever heard of it? It’s a really fun, fast-paced card game that can be played with 2-4 people (more than that if you get a second set and mark them differently). We’ve been gradually teaching it to the kids in our youth group, and some of them are pretty good at it!

It’s a little hard to find (aka you can’t get it at Walmart), but I have seen it at specialty toy/game stores as well as online (try amazon… a great way to spend the gift cards you’ve been earning through Swagbucks!).
What are some of your family’s favorite games?

Our New Car

June 22, 2010 by Aliesha

About two weeks ago, the Lord blessed us with a new (to us) car! We had been praying about buying a larger vehicle so that we would have room for our baby and all of her gear. Tad’s Mustang just has two doors, and we thought it would be quite challenging to wrangle a car seat in and out of it all the time.

We got a great deal on a used black Jeep Grand Cherokee (similar to the one pictured above), and we ended up being able to keep the Mustang too! We are thankful for the Lord’s faithfulness and provision for us.

Weekend Away

May 17, 2010 by Aliesha

This weekend we took a short trip up to see my family in VA. We loved getting to spend time with them! We got to go to my youngest brother’s soccer game on Friday evening. My grandparents came down as well. Mom invited a few ladies to come over on Saturday to have a prayer shower for me & our baby. It was a really special and wonderful time!

We enjoyed our time away and were glad we were able to be in VA this weekend!
