SAMUEL JOSEPH WILSON: Husband, father, pastor, seminary student, UFC junkie and my bestest friend
Samuel has more “irons in the fire” than a blacksmith…. for as long as we’ve been married he has been fueled by passion and vision. Sometimes more than my risk adverse heart could take, but even that has become fertile ground [...]
The EAR

We began our homeschooling year with studying about Attentiveness: Sound, Music, the Ear
We first learned the parts of the ear and then assembled this ridiculously small model. Interpreting the “pictographic” directions took all my ‘teaching’ energy. I was more concerned about Gabriel choking on the cochlea than whether we had everything in its right place!

Great Grandma Ione is like the energizer bunny. She amazes all of us. At 95, she is legally blind, a 20 year widow and still living on her own. She even gets out in the yard and wrestles with the weeds. She has no intention of giving up her independence or the home she has [...]

Given the slump in the economy, the increased gas and food prices, the ever present reminders that the American dollar just ain’t what it used to be… what does a family do to save a few precious bucks??

Penn Station, downtown Baltimore
The girls have enjoyed several trips to Virginia, but they LOVE riding the train. This was their return home from overnight camp at Camp Piankatank in Virginia. Piankatank has become a summer tradition. My parents come to Baltimore to visit for a couple days, take the girls back to Newport News for [...]
