You circled the date on the calendar and counted down to it. You heard yourself saying “two more weeks” and then – here it is! God hands us special moments every day, and on certain days, extra special moments. Like this one! Daniel completed his tech school training and now he’s home again! Yay!! The…

To Florida and Back
This year we headed to Florida in March – the earliest we’ve ever gone – and what a great trip we had. Having made this trip annually for nearly ten years, we missed having Matthew, Kathryn and Daniel with us for many familiar stops and experiences. We don’t always get ourselves down to the beach…
Chickens & The Capitol
Who would’ve thought, who could’ve guessed. Matthew & N’gella have chickens!
Happy Birthday, Mom!
February means it’s time to celebrate Mom’s birthday! We watched some old home videos which gave us a little appreciation for what Mom (and Dad) went through in all the years raising all of us kids – we were an active bunch! We’re thankful for Mom, and look forward to the seeing the ways God…
Winter Snap
January in New England is typically snowy. This year our winter has been warm with icy snaps of arctic air in between. Our first real winter storm brought soggy snow that turned into rain and iced every tiny branch with glacier beauty. We reveled in the sparkling wonderland in the day and glistening moonlight at…
New Years & Gingeropolis
It’s hard to believe it’s 2019 already! We were thrilled to have Daniel home for Christmas break – we had a great week together as a family! Christmas Day found us playing our now-traditional football game after opening presents in the morning. Matthew, N’gella & Susanna battled against Carolyn, Lydia and Daniel with Jonathan as…
Another Merry Christmas
Such a whirlwind of a Christmas season! From ringing the bells at the outdoor Harwinton Hometown Celebration, to bringing Christmas cheer to folks at nursing homes, to our grand finale concerts at Nelson Hall with the whole family together – it was a full December.
Christmas Concerts Kick-off!
Our Christmas concert season is underway, and we started it out on December 1st with a fun time at the Harwinton Hometown Christmas Celebration. There’s just something special about bells at Christmastime, and it’s extra fun in a festive semi-outdoor event! And then finish off the day with some Christmas fireworks! “And the angel said…
Trip to San Antonio!
What a treasure trove of memories we collected this November! We drove down to San Antonio for Daniel’s graduation from Air Force Basic Military Training. We enjoyed seeing some new states, like Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. We found a really neat waterfall & old gristmill along the way and had fun exploring it. Welcome to…
October in CT and QC
We began October with a major highlight – the WIHS Radio Station annual banquet. This year was extra special because the speaker was Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis and founder of the spectacular Creation Museum and the world-class Ark Encounter. We have been so blessed by the solid, Biblical teaching of Answers in Genesis…
