Kate is obviously following the tradition of the reserved, bashful, and shy Crisman family.

Makes my heart leap.

how much longer – my birthday concert

I love how God will gives us little presents sometimes.
My birthday fell near the end of our vacation (Friday).  While we celebrated with dinner and a movie, I really didn’t expect anything big.  But God planned a little surprise.  I found out on Wednesday that Travis Cottrell would be giving a concert on Friday night.  It [...]

I’m curious.  What do think about this song?

how much longer – mission food

how much longer – #2

You can spend $200 going to Big Kahuna’s but there’s nothing like throwing sand at the Gulf.  It’s like buying a great Christmas present and then watching them play with the box.  Either way, they are having a great time.

how much longer – the beach 2008

We are at the beach!  5 hours of “How much longer?”, 1 Cracker Barrel, and about 1,000 dollars, about 1,000 dollars in gas, and a great pair of goggles is all it took to get here.  There is no internet in our condo but I will try my best to post while we are there. [...]

look at my girl

I knew that our kids would learn to swim quickly with our own pool.  But I was not expecting this.

She just turned two in June.  I know every parent says this, but she’s amazing.
