Meet Our Family

 Welcome to our family blog!  

Hard to believe we're coming up on the 5th anniversary of our blog.  

Some of you have followed our happenings for years.  But if you've never met us before, let us introduce ourselves...

I am Kara, the keeper of the blog, the mom, the cook, the homeschool teacher, and the wife.  I like to take pictures...especially family pictures.  My wonderful husband Tim and I have been married for 17 years.  He is a pastor, an outdoor lover, and an amazing husband and father.  Tim likes to play basketball with his boys and he attempts to play dolls with Anna, although she often informs him that he doesn't play dolls right...because he is, after all, a boy. :)  Other than spending time with his family, absolutely nothing gives Tim as much joy as preparing and delivering sermons.

This is our oldest son Christopher.  He is 12 years old, but he would undoubtedly want you to know that on the 15th of May he will celebrate his 13th birthday and will finally become a TEENAGER!  Christopher loves to play video games, paint, draw, ride his bike, and do anything with technology.  He is a big fan of Baskin Robbins Ice Cream, but he has never lived near one of their stores, so he usually only gets his 31 Flavors on vacation.

This is John, who is 10.  John is very outdoorsy and loves animals.  He also likes to play basketball and to watch both college and NBA basketball.  His favorite teams are Duke and the Chicago Bulls.  And like his older brother, John also plays video games.  John enjoys talking about the Bible and listening to his dad preach.  John's favorite food is...well...anything.  John loves to eat!

And this is our daughter Anna, who is 7.  When God gave us a girl, he REALLY gave us a girl!  Anna loves anything pink, she greatly enjoys playing with dolls, and she likes to sing and hopes to begin taking voice lessons.  Anna likes to play with other girls her age and to read chapter books, her favorite of which being the Thea Stilton books.  Anna loves to eat any kind of fruit, and she is learning to cook by helping Mommy in the kitchen a lot.

In our free time together, our family loves to hike and take long walks through the woods.  We enjoy playing board games and watching movies and making homemade pizza.  The five of us have all trusted Jesus as our Savior, we feel privileged to serve Him in full-time ministry, and we are looking toward the bright and exciting future He holds for us!

We hope you won't be a stranger to our blog now that you have met us...
