Internship

I'm currently in my third week as the acting City Administrator in Ash Grove, Missouri. The website I designed for them can be found at http://www.ashgrovemo.org/ Check it out! Let me know what you think.

And keep me in your prayers as I leave Ash Grove in September. Pray for full-time employment, that will meet all of our needs, closer to home. Thanks!

No Camera? No Pictures!

Grrr! Our new digital camera took a dive into the sidewalk at Celebration City. Needless to say, it doesn't work anymore. And pictures are hard to take without a camera.

Sure, we have a film camera, but it almost feels like a waste of film to take more than one picture of anything, and when you're taking pictures which include toddlers, you're likely to need more than one shot if you want it to turn out right.

Seriously! Think about the last time you tried to get a picture where everyone was looking, no one was crying, and toddlers were involved.

We'll post pictures as we get them developed (I haven't said that in YEARS)!

Carson, Dylan, and Dawson

Why play with toys when you can play with sticks? Carson and his cousin, Dylan, chased each other around Grandma and Grandpa's yard with remnants of the recent ice storm, despite the bags of toys we had brought for them to play with. Dawson tried to keep up.

Mike's Grandparents

Mike's grandparents, Glenn & Dee. They are 89 and 78 this year. The recent ice storm was incredibly difficult for them.
